Now here's the next question, from a fellow petite woman: does anyone have any good tips for doing this throw on nervous ukes who cling to your back like a limpet and thus pull you over with them? (I'm fairly guilty of this myself, but I'm light, so most of my nages can just stand there while I slide...)
If you throw him straight back then there is a chance he can pull you down. If you throw in a circular motion on a horizontal plane at the same time you do the "lift" on the knees or even the ankles, then he will spin around the axis of your body and then fall behind you. and even his arm/hand on your shoulder will slide off. As long as he is falling straight back, the arm near you, on your shoulder, will be tempted to grab you.
