osoto gari is my favorite because it's so easy to use... i always react to a missed kick or punch with this throw if someone lands in a specific zone right in front of me after their missed attack...

at 40sec and 1min 28sec

i also like to use a straight ashi barai in a combo after i through a double gyaku, or kizami zumki gyaku zuki combo... anything to get an opponent backpedaling, and if their feet are close together i throw the ashi barai, if not i'll throw a chudan mawashi

I prefer to go for osoto gari, but if it fails I'll transition to either a kani basami or tomoe nage. Both aren't allowed in tournaments though, right?

I'd rather lose a 100 times in practice than 1 time in a combat situation.

We tend to use Throws specific to Ashihara/Enshin Karate. But I do love De Ashi Harai as well as Tomoe Nage. I also use Muay Thai Throws in my sparring too.

Muay Thai does have some takedowns and throws, but I don't think they happen too often in matches. I could be wrong, though.

Similar to what Cung Le does with Sanshou?!
