Step 1
Grab your partner around the chest, just above the waist and lock your arms together at the wrists. Your knees should be slightly bent, with left leg in front and acting as counterweight as you lean into your opponent. Rest your head against your partner's right shoulder.
-
Step 2
Bring the right leg forward, closer to your opponent as you prepare to lift their body from the ground. As you move your right foot closer to your partner move your left foot in uniform to stay balanced. The goal of this step is to finish with both feet spread comfortably, knees bent and close to your opponent.
-
Step 3
Bend the knees and lift your partner into the air balancing their body weight with your own. This means your body is bent backwards your arms are wrapped around your opponent meeting at their spine and your head is moving backward and down. Perform this step almost simultaneously with Steps 2 and 4.
-
Step 4
Continue to bend your body backwards as you bring your opponent over your body, still locked by your arms and down to the floor. Be sure to turn your opponent so that they do not land on their head but sweep the floor with their head as they flip over and onto their backs.
-
Step 5
Land beside your opponent on their left side with your upper torso covering their body. Your arms are still locked around your opponent's chest and you should use this grip to apply pressure to your arms, pinning your partner to the floor. Remember to twist your hips and torso sideways as you land so that you land beside rather than on top of your opponent.
