This video shows how to do a hook step throw ( gai bu shuai ). Grab your opponents right sleeve with your left hand. Then do a gaibu ( gabu = a circular step that looks like you were kicking your opponents knee ) and move down under your opponents shoulder ( knees bent ). To lift and throw your opponent, whip your right arm towards his thigh ( push ), extend your legs and bend your trunk foward down at the same time ( pulling his sleeve with you ).

In this lesson you will learn how to apply a sanda overhead lift throw with gloves on ( in chinese Kang Shuai ). This throw is applied when your opponent throws a heavy punch in head height. Tuck and step forward with your front leg like if zou were doing a lunge. Press your shoulders against your opponents hips. Push forward, so that he basically falls on your left shoulder. Surround his legs with your arms and stand up pushing forward at the same time. Then let him fall over your back.
