Types of throwsThere are various kinds of throw. Some of the more common throwing techniques are listed below. This is not an exhaustive list and the techniques may be referred to by other names in different styles. An English tranlation and a common Japanese equivalent are given.
Shoulder throwsA shoulder throw involves throwing an opponent over the shoulder. A shoulder throw which lifts the opponent from the ground is in Japanese 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-otoshi (背負落, "shoulder drop").[1] Seoi-nage is one of the most used throws in elite Judo competition; one study indicated that approximately 56% of judokas implemented the technique.[2] A common shoulder throw is judo's Ippon Seoinage (literally, one armed shoulder carry but commonly referred to as shoulder throw) or the similar flying mare in wrestling.[3] It should be noted that most throws are named by describing the circumvention point of the throw (eg hip throw, shoulder throw, wrist throw etc), or the nature of effect of the throw on the opponent (eg heaven and earth throw, valley drop, body drop). Variations are given descriptive names. The names mentioned and attributed to Jujutsu throws (and hence Judo/aikido throws) are descriptions in Japanese. It is conventional for the Japanese to name their throws in this manner, and many English/American martial art dojo's have given English names to the throws. It is easier for English speaking students to remember the names of throws if they can associate the throws by the descriptive nature of the throw name. Leg reaps and trips
Somewhat similar to leg reaps, leg trips involve a hooking or lifting action with the attacking leg instead of a reaping action. The border between the two types of throw can be unclear, and many throws will exhibit characteristics of both reaps and trips. Common leg trips are hooking variations of Ouchi Gari and Osoto Gari along with Kosoto Gake, referred to as inside and outside trips in Western wrestling. Hip throwsA 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. Pick-upsPickups involve lifting the opponent off the ground and then bringing him down again. Common pick-ups are lifting variations of the double leg takedown, judo's Te Guruma and the suplex, which is elaborated below. SuplexA wrestling throw in which the attacker lifts 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). Variations of the suplex are common in most forms of wrestling, and sometimes used in Mixed Martial Arts competition; in Judo the ura-nage throw is a version of the suplex. References
