Details of Kube-Nage:
Throws: (4) Kube-Nage
Neck Throw or Neck Drop.
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 (as before).(Tai-Sabaki) Step toe to toe, your right foot to his right foot. Bend your knees and pivot to your left (you now face same direction as your opponent), simultaneously (this time) rub your opponents neck with right forearm on his left side (advanced: reverse ken) and turn or rotate palm outwards (this helps put the opponents weight on his right leg) and rap arm around, pulling his neck in between your forearm and bicep. Shoot your right leg out (close to) and past his right leg and twist and throw. Dropping your opponent to the ground.
NB!The throw should be done in one fluid,smooth-flowing motion!
Kube-Nage introduces the begginer to "Neck throws/drops". 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!
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. Reverse Ken-Grip.
