Executing the over the head throw, also known as the sacrifice throw, begins with securing an over the back grip to the opponent's belt or mid-jacket. The key to a successful throw is to sit deeply beneath the opponent's hips to avoid pulling them on top of oneself.

  1. Start by ensuring a deep seat beneath the opponent's hips rather than sitting too far back.
  2. Use one leg to hook the opponent's leg, which will assist in rolling them over the head in the desired direction.
  3. Prepare to execute the throw by having the leg ready to hook and lift the opponent.
  4. Perform a hop with the non-hooking foot to position oneself directly under the opponent as the sitting motion begins.
  5. Roll over into the mount position, using the extended leg to kick and propel the opponent over.
  6. Practice the throw with proper back rolls, focusing on a one-legged squat and extending the other leg during the roll.
  7. For offensive execution, hop in and hook the opponent's leg simultaneously.
  8. If used as a counter, for example, against a single leg pickup, maintain the leg position and roll over with a firm grip on the opponent's belt or jacket.
  9. Whether attacking forward or moving backward, the end result is to sit beneath the opponent and complete the sacrifice throw.

It is crucial to practice the throw with the correct back roll technique, emphasizing the ability to squat and stand up on one leg, as this movement is integral to the throw's mechanics.
