The leg grab whirl throw ( in chinese: xuan shuai ) is a circular leg throw often applied after a slow thrusted kick ( especially side kicks and front kicks ). Grab your opponents leg with your arms. Hold the foot between biceps and trunk and press the glove of the other hand on top ( see video ). Practice how to grab your opponents leg with gloves on. Next you have to get used to your opponents movements. If you move forward, your opponent will move towards you. If he doesn't, you will easily push him off the platform and get 3 points. So you push, stop, push, pull, etc. Just don't let his leg go. Whenever he tries to balance out his position, you pull his foot down to the floor and to the left. This should happen when he hops ( he will have to hop, beause he only stands on one leg ). For this throw your timing has to be perfect and of cause it only works if your were able to grab one of your opponents slow kicks. Keep in mind that you don't have your hands free. If your opponent bends his knee and comes too close, better sweep him.
