- At first, I thought you were bringing your right leg through and tripping him
- over it as you spin left. As such, your throw is ashi guruma.
-
- Having thought more, I now believe that you are tripping the opponent over your
- driving, pivoting left leg. I've never seen a throw in which the "action" leg
- and "supporting" leg were one and the same. It sounds implausible, but I'll
- give it a try.
