The key to this move is that it can only be done when
there is heavy resistance to the first attack of Tomoe
Nage. Then, the right foot acts like a De La Riva hook
while the right arm has to hook the leg on the outside
of the ankle. The throw happens with the De La Riva hook as
you arch over your right shoulder and straighten your right
leg. Be sure to keep you right elbow tucked tight against the
ankle to prevent the opponent from stepping out and preventing
the takedown.

Make sure to pull your opponent in tight and control
their body. Pull their arm into your waist and grab
the gi near the armpit across his back and body.
Bring your front leg inside your opponent’s legs
so your hips are in between their legs; pivot on that foot to
face your opponent, and drop your body and head below your
opponent’s head. Do not allow any separation of your upper
body and your opponent’s body; try to go as far under your
opponent as possible, and transfer your weight to your other
leg (right leg in this case). Pull in a circular motion with your
arms, drive off your right leg, and swing your other leg in the
direction of the throw. Finish by continuing to do a backward
somersault and come on top of your opponent with side control.
The leg is not what throws your opponent. It is your body
weight dropping below your opponent’s center of gravity that
makes the throw work.
