This video shows how to do a shuai jiao back drop. Grab your opponents sleeve with one hand. Then step forward, crouch down and hook your arm around your opponents thigh. Your stance should be wide and stable. Pull your hands together as hard as you can and drop your opponent on his back. The harder you pull his thigh to your chest, the easier it is to make him lose control.

The doubleleg kickthrow is a shuai jiao skill where you throw your opponent straight over your leg. Left hand grabs the opponents sleeve, right hand grabs his neck. Do a gaibu ( a circular step that looks like if you were kicking your opponents knee ) and step to the left side. Step forward with the other leg and and the extend the right leg in front of your opponents leg. ( stand pretty close to your opponent - don't kick his shins too hard, this is not thaiboxing ) Pull him towards the ight side of your trunk and press your right leg forward at the same time. Twist and throw your opponent like shown in the video.

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.
