Step 1
Grasp your opponent in a standard throwing grip. Face each other. Your right hand grabs your opponent's lapel. Your left hand grabs the material beneath your opponent's right arm just above the elbow.
-
Step 2
Push and pull your opponent off balance at the same time. This is a basic principle of martial arts throws. Push your opponent straight back with your hand grasping his lapel while you pull him with your hand grasping his sleeve. This doubles your ability to throw your opponent off balance. The push-pull is similar to the motion of turning a steering wheel.

Step 3
Leap inside your opponent's guard. Now that your opponent is off balance it is time to get in position for the throw. Keep your hands grasped on your opponent. Turn to your left so that both your feet are between your opponent's feet, with you heels pointed toward him. Bend your knees so that your hips are lower than your opponent's hips. Keep pulling with your left hand while you bend your right arm. Bring your right hand up to your right shoulder as you turn around. You should now be pressed against your opponent with your back to him.
-
Step 4
Propel your opponent into the air by straightening your legs and bending at the waist. Since your hips are below your opponent's hips it is simple to lift them. This is true even if your opponent is significantly bigger and taller that you. In fact, it is easier to throw a taller person. Try to pop your opponent into the air as you straighten your legs.
-
Step 5
Keep pulling your opponent's arm with your left hand. Once you feel your opponent flying through the air, pull his arm down and away continuing in the direction of your spin. When you feel your opponent flipping over your back, straighten your right arm. This pushes him away from you so you can maintain your balance. Your opponent will land flat on his back.
