A throw (in budo referred to as nage-waza, 投げ技, "throwing technique") is a martial arts and grappling term for a technique that involves off-balancing or lifting an opponent, and tossing them to the ground, usually involving a rotating motion (compare with takedown). Typically the combatant performing the throw disconnects with the opponent, and ends balanced and on the feet. Throws can however also be followed into a top position, in which case the person executing the throw does not disconnect with the opponent. Certain throwing techniques called sacrifice throws (sutemi-waza, 捨身技, "sacrifice technique") involve putting oneself in a disadvantagous position, such as on the ground, to execute a throw.

Types of throws

There are several major areas used in throwing, these range for reaps to hip throws and are listed below.

Shoulder throws

A shoulder throw involves throwing an opponent over the shoulder. A shoulder throw which lifts the opponent from the ground is in budo referred to as seoi-nage (背負投, "shoulder throw"), while a throw which involves dropping to the ground and pulling the opponent over the shoulder is referred to as seoi-otoshiThe Kodokan Judo Institute. [Seoi-Otoshi (hand technique)]. www.kodokan.org. URL last accessed February 11 2006. (背負落, "shoulder drop"). Seoi-nage is one of the most used throws in elite Judo competition; one study indicated that approximately 56 % of judokas implemented the technique.Weers, George.

Ippon seoinage

Ippon seoinage (literally, one armed shoulder carry but commonly referred to as shoulder throw) or the similar flying mare in wrestlingLoveToKnow 1911 Online Encyclopedia. [Wrestling]. www.1911encyclopedia.org. URL last accessed on April 21 2006., is a shoulder throw performed by leveraging one of the opponent's arms over the shoulder. One arm holds the opponent's arm, typically by the sleeve of the gi, and the other arm is thrust under the opponent's armpit, while rotating the back towards the opponent. The opponent is then slightly lifted into the air using the hips, and tossed over the shoulder to the floor.

Hip throws

A hip throw involves using your hip as a pivot point to throw your opponent to the floor. By getting your hip in a lower position than your opponent's center of gravity you can easily throw them. There are several types of hip throws such as O Goshi, this throw is often taught first to novices as it is relatively easy to learn. A hip throw in Aikido or Sumo is called a koshinage.

A throw in which the attacker liftes his opponents body vertically and throws the opponent over his own center of gravity while executing a back fall (usually accompanied by a back arch). Common in all forms of wrestling, and sometimes used in Mixed Martial Arts competition; in Judo the ura-nage throw is a form of a suplex.
