- I'm currently working on visualisation techniques so that I can stop being
- nervous before competitions. Last night I tried to sort out a throw that
- worked spectacularly on a friend some time ago. It's something I have never
- been taught and I don't know what it is but it feels very natural and can be
- very effective.
-
- Uki comes in to take a normal right grip on your left lapel. You take a step
- forward on your left foot so that your left leg is alongside his right while
- putting your left arm *over* his. At the same time you throw your extended
- right arm right under his left armpit and get very close. To summarise - you
- are very close, your left arm is over his arm and low, the top of your right
- arm is under his armpit and high, and your left leg is alongside his right. To
- complete the throw (this oviously happens all at once) cartwheel your arms,
- left arm down and right arm up at the same time turning your body to the left
- by moving your right foot forward. This effectively picks up Uki and spins him
- backwards, you may fall on him too. Your left leg acts as a kind of pivot.
-
- This throw feels very good and you don't need a lot of strength to pull it off.
- It is difficult for uki to spin out and if it doesn't work very well you will
- probably be in a good position to continue in groundwork.
-
- Problems:- probably open to counter by a rear throw if it doesn't come off.
- I've only tried it on people taller than me.
-
- Try it out and let me know what you think. One interesting thing is that I
- don't use any grip with this. The right hand definitely has no grip, it's too
- high in the air though I may grab hold of something with the left as they go
- down.
-
- Can anyone tell me what kind of throw it is. There's no hip, no sweep, no
- hands, no sacrifice, more a circular lift and trip over a static leg.
-
- Cheers
