False Reap

What it is

Leg entanglement in the single-leg X and outside ashi family where the attacker's outside leg crosses the opponent's thigh while the calf rests at or below the knee line and the foot stays short of the hip's center line, mirroring the shape of a knee reap without the inside foot position that reap-restricted rulesets penalize. The configuration maintains knee-line pressure and off-balancing leverage on a standing or kneeling opponent while remaining legal where reaping is banned. Modern no-gi competition treats it as a hub for heel exposure, back exposure, and wrestle-up conversions.
