Now, bending your knees and rotating your opponent around the transverse plane, you're going to lift them off the ground and then through onto their back. It's very important to get a good grip on the sleeve, come underneath and again, lift them up and drive your hips in.

Here's how it looks a little faster. And now, in full speed. Now, once we're in this position here, it's important to keep a hold of their arm because you may be able to get them into position where you can restrain them or hold them.
