The difference between the two techniques is primarily in the footwork. For Osoto-gari, the attacking judoka will do a quick outside foot sweep. For Osoto-otoshi, the attacking judoka will apply pressure to their opponent while taking a step forward and lifting their opponent’s hips up with their hands. Both techniques involve similar body movements, but the footwork is what distinguishes them from each other.
