Details of O-Goshi:
(C) copyright of Street Defence 2005
Throws: (2) O-Goshi
Hip Throw or Hip Roll
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.
NB!This throw requires total body co-ordination!!!
Hands,Hips & Legs: As your opponent pushes you, pull him off balance with your left arm to his right front corner. Pivot on your Right foot, (stepping toe to toe - right foot to right foot) moving Left foot back(Tai-Sabaki)in as close as possible to other foot (in an anti-clockwise arc; you are now facing the same direction as your opponent); bend both your knees and lower your hips(and center of gravity). Simultaneously, bring your right arm under his left and put your Right hand on his left scapula (top of back near shoulder); Actively Pull, and hug tightly, your opponent in close to your hip. Keep pulling and twisting in an anti-clockwise direction with your left arm.
As you lift him from below staighten your knees, twist your hip and look behind you to your left and bow at the waiste (upper body parallel to ground) and throw him to the ground! i.e. The opponent bumps into and trips over your hip!
Remember: Keeping your back straight and good posture ensures your strength.
NB!The throw should be done in one fluid,smooth-flowing motion!
Note: Hip throw forms the basis for all hip techniques and is very important to the beginner because it employs an easy Tai-Sabaki footwork movement as well as the fact that the arms,hips and legs are fully used in one fluid anti-clockwise motion! An approximately180 degrees turn.
Also Note: The method described here is a begginers wrestling method. In the street one could be a lot more violent; Instead of pulling the opponents arm for eg. one could grab the leg off a front snap kick or even a round house (advanced) and perform the rest of the throw as above, crushing his "privates" in the process! as well as imbalancing him! There are many more violent variations we will deal with at a later time. As well as, correct breathing and other advanced details.
