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.
- Your partner attacks with a hip throw, turning their back into you: bend your knees and drop your hips below theirs before their throw can bite.
- Wrap your right arm around their waist and clamp them to you, chest to their back.
- Straighten your legs and swing your hips, lifting them clear of the mat so their feet leave the floor.
- In the moment they hang in the air, switch: pull them across the front of your body as you turn, so your right hip arrives beneath them.
- As they descend onto your hip, finish as a hip throw: bow forward and rotate them over.
- They land on their back in front of you, your hand and arm guiding them down.
Receiving it
Your own hip attack is absorbed: their hips sink below yours, an arm clamps your waist, and you are lifted clear, feet off the mat. As you descend, a hip switches across beneath you and the throw finishes against you. It is a two-beat fall: the lift, then the hip. Stay loose through the lift, then take it as an ordinary hip-throw landing, back to the mat, free arm slapping.
