Lessons:
Number 11 is meant to be explosive with the throat strike. This entering in results in a disruption that should enable you to do anything you wish with your opponent.
Shorin Ryu Throat strike positions the hand and thumb in a horizontal cup across the opponents entire throat width.
Motobu Throat strike will just utilize the thumb positioned about 3/4 of an inch from the palm and position itself to go between the juggler and the thorax.
Your decision point at the leg reposition will determine the severity of outcome, where you want your opponent to make contact with the ground.
Some practitioners maintain the throat strike as a throat grab all the way through the throw. Some will reposition their hand to the opponent's left shoulder.
