Gripping |
Grip |
Need to consider 'right v right' and 'right v left' |

Uke can counter also poor use of arm. However good control of Uke head |
Deep Shoulder |
Good for jigotai but can be countered |
Under Arm |
Difficult to obtain, but very powerful, can also be used to break Uke balance when he moves his arm. |
Same Side |
Becomes Yama Ashi (Mountain Storm) |
Apex of the Shoulder |
Good control of Uke body, good use of the arm situated on the shoulder, provided additional power. Good for combinations techniques |
Static Throw |
Need to overcome inertia of Uke body. Thus more suitable for big or strong players. Kuzushi very important, but the movement should be small; otherwise it will work against you.
Key Points:
- Good Kuzushi
- The hands of Tori should be level.
- The balancing leg of Tori should form an equilateral triangle with Ukeís feet.
- The hip of Tori should fit into the join between the upper leg and abdomen.
- The action of the sweeping leg should just brush Ukeís leg and guide Ukeís body over. The power is generated in the stomach.
- The action of Tori should be circular
|
Demonstrate Static throw |
Technique performed with Uke;
- Left leg retreating
- Right leg retreating
- Right level advancing
- Left leg advancing
- Causing Uke to rotate about Tori body
This will provide more difficult and more time should be allowed |
|
Judoka to practice the throw focusing on the key points. Allow time and review
|
Dynamic Throw |
Applies the principles of Ju. Tsukuri more important than Kuzushi. The rotational movement of Tori will cause the instability of Uke i.e. Breaking the balance:
- Move in the same direction as Uke
- The turning and fitting action of Tori will de-stabilize; control Uke (Break balance).
- Tsukuri more important than Kuzushi
