3. Throws In Kodokan Judo • Kodokan Judo is known for its throwing techniques. • Of all the combat sports and martial arts practiced in the world today, Kodokan Judo throws are among the most highly developed and effective.

4. Throws In Kodokan Judo • Kodokan Judo throws are divided into five categories based on how the technique is executed. These are: • Hand Techniques • Techniques where the power is generated by the hands and arms • A typical hand technique is called Seoi-Nage (shoulder throw) in Judo and flying mare in wrestling.

5. Throws In Kodokan Judo • Hip Techniques • Techniques where the hip is utilized to execute the throw • A typical hip technique is O-Goshi (large hip throw) in Judo • Common variations are Harai-Goshi (sweeping hip) and Hane-Goshi (springing hip)

6. Throws In Kodokan Judo • Leg and Foot Techniques • Techniques where the power for the throw is provided by the leg or foot. • A typical leg technique used in Judo competitions is Uchi-Mata (inner thigh) • Other leg techniques often seen in Judo contests are O-Uchi-Gari (large inside reap), Ko-Uchi-gari (small inside reap) and O-Soto-Gari (large outside reap)

7. Throws In Kodokan Judo • Rear Sacrifice Techniques • Techniques where the throw is executed by sacrificing your position to the rear • Typical rear sacrifice techniques used in Judo contests include Tomoe-Nage (circle throw) and Sumi-Gaeshi (corner counter)

9. Throwing Objectives • Throws in Kodokan Judo contests are intended to: • Score a full point, thus ending the match. • This is accomplished by throwing the opponent with speed and force so that he/she lands mostly on their back while maintaining control throughout the throw. • Lesser points are awarded when the throw is lacking in one of the three criteria for a full point throw (speed, force, mostly on the back). • No point is awarded when control is lost.

10. Throwing Objectives • Throws in Mixed Martial Art competition are intended as a means to move the action from standing to the ground. • A clean throw will not end the match unless the opponent becomes unconscious due to impact with the mat (which is not common). • Throws may, however, impact the judges decisions should a match not be decided in the ring.
