Kani basami is judo's flying scissors throw, and was banned from competition because of the risk of breaking one or both of uke's legs.
It's a fun throw, and requires a strong breakfall from uke. In learning this throw it is helpful to put one hand on the floor, but it's much more satisfying to do it in mid-air.
In wrestling you'll sometimes see the even more spectacular and dangerous flying head scissors variation, performed here (at 1:20) by Scarlett Johansson's character in Iron Man 2.
That's not allowed in competition, either!
Are you allowed to wear her outfit in competitions? Or would that be too distracting for the judges?
