Leg Tomahawk

The Leg Tomahawk is one of Alex's throws in Street Fighter V.

Description
Executed by pressing Light Punch and Light Kick, (the throw command) and pushing backwards near an opponent. Alex shoves his opponent across from him, switching sides in the process. Before his opponent can recover, Alex hits his opponent with a kick to the back of their head, knocking them on their stomach.

Tactics
This throw is extremely useful to open up the opponents who are constantly blocking. While it does significantly less damage compared to his command grabs, it has a faster recovery. This means that Alex can still counter his opponent with Air Knee Smash if they jump to avoid his grabs, giving him time to attack. By mixing Alex's normal throws with his command grabs, it puts the opponent in a difficult situation where they have to guess what he is going to do next, especially when he has positional and frame advantage.

Trivia

 * This move is based on a professional wrestling move called the Backhand Chop. In wrestling, the crowd commonly responds with a "Woooo!" noise in honor of Ric Flair, who popularized the move.
