Ninjutsu Throws
All the Ninjutsu Throws (投げ技), videos on this article are specialized techniques that use grappling to unbalance a combatant. Throws are aimed to propel the opponent through the air and put him to the ground.
Throws (הטלות), usually utilize an unbalancing of the opponent in several ways:
- Using the legs to block the opponent's legs while applying a pushing or pulling action to the torso. These throws are called in Japanese martial arts as Throws using Foot techniques (Ashi waza).
- Using the hands with a strong pulling or pushing action to unbalance the opponent in such a way that he can not correct his center of balance by stepping. These throws are grouped as Throws using hand techniques (Te waza).
- Using the hips as a fulcrum point to rotate or lift and rotate the opponent's torso or waist. These throws are called Hip throwing techniques (Koshi waza).
- If the the act of unbalancing and throwing nessecitates an intentional falling action on part of the thrower then the throw is considered a sacrifice throw (Sutemi waza).
