Actually, I take that back! Because now that I think of it, at the beginning of the movie, Dooku force-choked and force-threw Obi through the air... he then fell to the ground and got trapped underneath that platform.
So much for the theory of Obi being able to resist force throws.

Obi-Wan and Anakin's Force levels are about the same. Obi-Wan probably could've easily resisted it. Plus, it would've messed up the movie, because people wanted an epic lightsaber fight, and not a two second Force grip sequence.
Well, Anakin obviously thought he could take out Obi-Wan using the special super-jump and cut him by surprise.
Anakin knew everything about fighting from Obi-Wan right? Well maybe Obi-Wan didn't teach Anakin that particular move. If you remember it was the same move Obi-Wan used to hack up Darth Maul.
Anakin probably didn't know that Obi-Wan had used the technique before. Anakin thought he dicoverred a new move, but Obi-Wan was way ahead of him.
Oh, maybe they aren't. I just assumed they were. It was just a suggestion. They do look pretty much identical. They are both "flippy over head and cut shit" moves.
