Trapping the leg after you throw, smart. But I think you need to use a sweeping leg for the throw to be ashi guruma. Still good move.

Doesn't look very 'realistic' but if that's not aikido, I don't know what is


(I hope this is not the wrong place to post this.. seemed fitting to me :x)

I moved this to replays because it doesn't fit any on going study.

Still I like the throw. You could call it a half-throw or lateral drop. Contracting the knee on your base leg demontrates the high risk = high reward factor. I'm keeping this replay for myself to look at, nice job.
