I love no set of techniques like the sweeps. Making a grown my fly through the air with the quick flick of a foot. Makes you feel like friggin superman.
Kosoto Gari is NOT an ankle kick. It's a sweep that hits the back of thier foot with the sole of yours while they are unbalanced to that foot's ankle.
I think that Kosoto Gake is a WONDERFUL technique for BJJ as it lands you very firmly in side control, hits hard to give you a couple of seconds to advance or submit right away, and at worst lands you in guard. I'm always fishing for it when I play with my BJJ friends.
