Throws: (3) Ippon-Seoi-Nage
One Arm Shoulder Throw.
The Golden Rule For All Throws: In this order- Hands then Hips then Feet!
Hands = imbalance opponent; Hips = get close to opponent; Feet = finish opponent off!
Close body contact is essential for successfl throwing.
If you apply this to your throwing, you will always be successful!
Strategy for this throw:
Note: For beginners we teach this throw from a basic take hold position.
Hands,Hips & Legs: Take hold. Push your opponent backwards and when he responds and pushes back, off-balance him to his right front corner pulling him forward with your left hand. (Tai-Sabaki) Step toe to toe, your right foot to his right foot. Bend your knees and pivot to your left, simultaneously throwing your right arm under his right arm. You now face the same direction as your opponent. Bend your right arm at the elbow to trap his arm between your bicep and forearm, pulling him forward and down. Using your left hand, hold his arm firmly against your chest (a bit advanced - this puts pressure on a pressure point on our opponents bicep which your shoulder digs into, & helps in) lifting your opponent onto his tippy-toes (balls of feet) and onto your back. Make sure both of your knees are fully bent and that your center of gravity is over the tips of your toes, watch your posture, and make sure there is body contact and opponent is off-balance on his toes. Straighten your knees, bow at the waiste and look behind you to your left. Once again, one fluid,smooth-flowing anti-clockwise motion!
This action will throw your opponent over your right shoulder and down infront of you.
NB!The throw should be done in one fluid,smooth-flowing motion!
Ippon-Seoi-Nage introduces the begginer to "Shoulder throws". It is a very practical easy to execute throw! Even on its own, in a basic way, this is a devastaing throw which can cause serious damage to your opponent! - "Ippon!" ( Game Over! :-) )
Note: The method described here is a begginers wrestling method. In the street one could be a lot more violent. There are many more violent variations we will deal with at a later time. As well as, correct breathing and other advanced details. e.g. Ken-Grip.
