    I'm bored at work, MAP seems a bit slower than usual this morning, and I've just been reading through the favourite kick thread

    So I thought I'd try the same thing but with throwing techniques!

    So Bring it on, what is your favourite throwing technique, it can be to use in a competition or sparring or just one you like to practice the technique of during syllabus work or whatever.

    My favourite (that I've learnt so far anyway) would have to be the Leg Wheel, I've got very powerful legs and I just love the way the throw uses that and how the uke his the floor like a sack of . . . bricks...

    For sparring/competition though Its a toss up between the Rice Bail throw, and the Front Leg Scissors take down. Rice Bail because its been very effective for me in the past, its possibly my height but I have had quite a few people duck their heads and pretty much offer me their head/neck, quick rice bail into a mounted guillotine to finish. The front Leg Scissors because I've been working on feinting a front kick and then dropping down into position for the take down... I've arranged to spar with my sensei tomorrow night so shall perhaps see if I can sneak that one in...

    I quite like single legs, crotch lifts, o soto gari and drop seoi nage. At least they are the only ones I was ever able to hit against a resisting human body...

    Sit-through fireman's carry/kata guruma for me. Great ratio of cool points to effort if you get the timing right.

    I really like the idea of the shoulder wheel, but a lot of the people I train with are a lot smaller than I am, and it gets awkward with how low I have to go to get under their centre of gravity, but they do panic if I do a standing variation.... :3

    Try this version, much more efficient/smoother than squatting to get low or doing it on both knees for me [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qVev_ejDb6M"]Reilly Bodycomb Teaching Fireman's Carry at NYCS Part 1 of 2 - YouTube[/ame]

    While there are many good throws, do you not have a favourite one? ^_^

    My favorite throw to use in sparing is a fireman's carry (probably the wrestler in me).

    Favorite throw to practice is probably Tai Otoshi, because the hold and grip and everything feel so natural for me.

    I like the mule kick set ups. Somebody told me I was a catch wrestler at heart :D

    Since we have many Judo guys here. I have always want to know, "What will you call this throw in Judo?"

    You

    - "twist" your opponent's upper body,
    - "spring" his leg,
    - "pull" him down (this part is not shown in that clip).

    I believe it would be a variation on kuki-nage, though that's an aikido technique I think. The spring on the leg is simply being used as a balance taking technique, the throw itself is entirely done on the torso of the opponent.

    It's fairly close to uke-otoshi from judo, but that's much more linear.


    My favourite throw depends on context. If we're talking self defence application, then it's either o-soto-gari or ko-soto-gari, as those are the ones I think I have the highest percentage with. If we're talking pure flamboyant showing off of principles, then I'd go with a variation of kata-guruma that we all seem to know in my club.

    i never seen it in Randori, even the entry, like ko soto gari but looks like using the top of the foot to shift balance to the side then wheel around like sasae tsurikomi ashi?

    If you Google these 2 Chinese characters 弹拧 and get into "video", you may find other clips that it may play for you.

    If we can compare the difference betwee Chinese wrestling and Judo throws one by one, it may have some academic value. Some one got his PhD degree by doing this comparsion. But the comparsion was in general principle and not down to the throw detail.

    I know this is a Ju Jitsu thread. I just hope people don't mind to talk about the throwing art in generl.

    Uchi-mata and ashi garami are working for me lately. Usually a scissors, trips and pickups guy.
