Ko Uchi Gari Fundamentals. One of my favourite takedowns

Nice and easy tutorial. This is one of my favorite ashi-waza techniques to use in Judo/bjj. Works great for me. It also works great in combo with ouchi gari and drop morote/seoi nage.
 
Kouchi needs control with hands, especially pushing uke's head, or he can transfer weight back to the other foot.

I think the head control is also key to get it working against the typical bjj bent over stance. Its difficult to do the timing-based version shown when their hips are so far away and they're not fighting from an upright stance. The average bjj guy isn't going to devote the hours needed for getting that timing down either.
