  1. That was actually De Ashi Harai (most commonly pronounced “Barai”), aka “Advancing Foot Sweep”. Sasae Tsurikomi Ashi and Hiza Guruma are “trips” (stopping the foot/leg from stepping to recover balance) rather than “sweeps” (moving the foot/leg while the balance is shifting). And Hiza Guruma literally translates as “Knee Wheel”, so Islam’s foot was too low to execute that, anyway.

  2. In judo, it is called De Ashi Harai
    Some would also consider a Sasae Tsuri Komi Ashi, but I think the direction of the movement is more like the harai.
