There is no
doubt that falling hurts, the pavement is hard and unforgiving.
NOW imagine
being picked up or having your feet swept out from under you and accelerated
towards the ground. A well-executed throw on a hard surface is a fight ender
for sure.
Have a look as the video below which shows one of the first throws
you learn in our jiu-jitsu distance education program.
Now throws
are certainly harder to learn and execute if a fight than simply punching the
attacker. They must be learned to the smallest detail and practiced repeatedly
to be performed properly BUT if done properly they are a fight ending technique
like no other.
Your punch may be good, your kick may be powerful, but neither
will come close to the impact forces generated from a throw.
The outside
hock or osotogari throw may not be the most powerful but it is probably one of
the best throws for self-defence.
This is just one of many throws we have in
our syllabus.
