Using this one sided stepping movement as above, keep on trying to catch the right moment your partner steps forward. After a little bit of experimenting you will find the right occasions to avoid hurting your partner's ankles, take care to use the flat of your foot. The actual sweep with the right leg is not a hook or a push. The moment when the opponent's leg is in the right position is very short. Thus it is necessary to sweep across as fast as possible - using the weight and impetus of your leg rather than force and strength. In the beginning this will cause some bruised ankles but in the long run this is the style to aim for.

This concludes the leg throw section. Three of them are rear throws and one is to the side. There are other leg throws some of which are forward throws and several variations of the ones already mentioned. As can be seen from the above throws there is almost no position the opponent can put his legs in without being vulnerable to attack. The beginner would do well to bear in mind all the opportunities for them and depending upon where your partner's weight is or how he is moving or reacting attempt to put them all in practice.

One of the best ways for practising these or any other throw is to throw somebody with them as many times as the person can take, the faster and harder the better. Concentrate on speed rather than brute force.
