Tough to do no gi Id say because if you dont shift his balance enough with the initial break, a good player can hit you with a huge counter. If you are reaping with the left foot, you gotta be able to push hard with the right and pull hard with the left to get his weight onto his right foot coming forward, and if you do this half assed he's grab your reaping leg and do a signle leg take down. This happened me about 10 times at the last session I was at as the guy I was fighting came 5th in the Japanese am wrestling nationals, anything less than a massive kazushi and you're done. Without the gi, getting that amount of leverage in the balance break is gonna be tough to do. If say with an overarm and a neck grip its possible, but there are a lot of safer ones to do from that position.
