The important point with this throw is to turn completely round so that you are facing the same way as your partner. If you only manage to turn three-quarters round the chances are that you will not be able to sweep your man up into the air. As your leg sweeps up into the opponent's crotch your arms should be pulling him strongly forward with your head dipping down towards the mat. For a smaller man it is necessary to put his left leg through or between the opponent's leg when he first starts to pivot so as to get right underneath.

If necessary in the sweep be prepared to stretch your leg up almost vertically with your forehead brushing the mat. It is this extreme range of the throw that makes it very difficult to stop when once the thrower has got into position. The whole movement of the throw should be as fast as possible especially the initial leg movements. One of the counters for this throw is to get out of the way of the sweeping leg by jumping slightly to the right side and closing your own legs together. If the thrower is attempting the throw properly by putting his heart and soul into it he should go sailing past and turn a complete somersault by his own efforts.
