"could it be a throw? Grabbing with the left hand and pulling the opponent over the back leg (using it to trip them)."
I'm making a deep guess here, but I'm thinking ( due to my smaller stature) that I would need the rotation of my hip to effect a good throw. In this movement of the kata, I can feel that my power is heading towards my left leg which is opposite to the direction that I'd want to throw. I can "see" a potential throw happening there, if you can catch your opponent in an unbalanced position, and you could just help him continue flowing with gravity using your left knee as a fulcrum. Would this not take ideal conditions to achieve?
