Step by step
The whole movement in words, so no part of it depends on watching a video. Described in the standard right-handed form.
Left-handed: these steps are written right-handed, as the syllabuses write them. Read every left as a right and every right as a left, and the throw is yours.
- Take a right-handed grip with your lapel hand high on their collar. Draw your partner up and forward so their weight floats onto their toes: the lapel hand lifts as if raising them onto a shelf.
- Step your right foot inside their right foot, pivot, and swing your left foot around, turning your back into them with your knees deeply bent, hips well below theirs.
- Keep the lapel hand high throughout, elbow pointing up, so they stay drawn up and cannot settle their weight back down.
- Pull the sleeve around your body so their chest fixes to your back, resting them across your hips.
- Straighten your legs and bow forward, both hands carrying them over.
- They roll over your hips and land on their back in front of you, your sleeve grip steadying the fall.
Receiving it
The collar grip lifts you up and forward until your weight floats on your toes, then their hips arrive low under you and you are carried over. It feels like being poured over a barrel. Tuck your chin, keep the held arm soft, and slap with your free left arm as your back lands in front of them.
