This throw can be likened to somebody stepping on a banana skin. Their foot comes down on to the skin and then slides away. Stand with your partner in right posture. With your right leg step backwards and then forwards and so on, get your partner to do the same with his left leg. This should be something like a natural walk except that only one leg moves in order to isolate the throwing movement. Your left leg and the opponent's right leg do not move.

As the opponent's leg steps forward and is about an inch off the mat, using the flat of your right foot, sweep his foot across diagonally in front of your own left foot.If you have caught his foot at the right moment he will fall over. If you are a bit slow and his foot and weight are solidly on the mat it will seem like uprooting a tree trunk. If you are too soon in sweeping his foot it will just dangle in the air because his weight will still be on his rear foot. To finish off the throw the right arm pulls the man down to the mat. When this throw is done, with speed and correct timing the man may be levelled off almost at hip height.
