The big circle throw is known by many different names, since technique names vary greatly between different aikidō styles. The most apt name is kokyū-nage, or “breath throw,” but that is impractical since it is a catch-all term describing all takedowns where timing is more important than physical manipulations. Because timing is so critical, big circle throws are typically reserved for advanced students,

Big circle throws require you to grab and pull on the opponent’s wrist, or for the opponent to grab and pull your wrist. Extend your arm as you take a lunging step forward and kneel, then retract your arm as you shift back to a standing position. Your hand should trace a big, vertical circle in the air (thus, the name) and this down-and-back motion, combined with the opponent’s forward momentum should send them tumbling into a dive roll.

Please note that big circle throws are ineffective against stationary opponents, since this technique merely redirects momentum.
