Morote gari (双手刈) is a double leg takedown adopted later by the Kodokan into their Shinmeisho-no-waza (newly accepted techniques) list. It is categorized as a hand technique, te waza. It is not allowed in IJF competitions due to the "no touching below the belt" rule.
Variations
Whereas morote gari is a frontal attack, The Canon Of Judo describes soto morote as a hanmi-irimi technique, where tori is on uke's side.
