- Lift with your hips while bending forward, continuing to pull your opponent's arm to the front and down.
- The lifting action should be strong and continuous, using your hips to elevate your opponent off the ground.
Follow Through:
- Maintain control of your opponent's sleeve and lapel as they fall to the mat.
- Ensure you follow through with the throw, keeping your balance and preparing for any counter-attacks.
Key Points:
