The foot sweep (also footsweep) is a move in many different styles of martial arts. It is used to trip an opponent. Foot sweeps are commonly used in Tang Soo Do, karate, and jujutsu. In addition, many closer sweeps like the Trap Sweep and Two-Leg Sweep can resemble Judo throws.

O children! always children!”
—Denis Diderot (1713–1784)
“Each should sweep the snow from before his own door and not worry about the frost on his neighbor’s roof.”
