Judo Throwing Techniques (Nage Waza)

Nage waza include all techniques in which tori attempts to throw or trip uke, usually with the aim of placing uke on his back. Each technique has three distinct stages:

• Kuzushi, the initial balance break;
• Tsukuri, the act of turning in and fitting into the throw;
• Kake, the execution and completion of the throw.

Nage waza are typically drilled by the use of uchi komi, repeated turning-in, taking the throw up to the point of kake. Traditionally, nage waza are further categorised into tachi-waza (standing techniques), throws that are performed with tori maintaining an upright position, and sutemi-waza (sacrifice techniques), throws in which tori sacrifices his upright position in order to throw uke.

Tachi-waza are further subdivided into te-waza (hand techniques), in which tori predominantly uses his arms to throw uke; koshi-waza (hip techniques) throws that predominantly use a lifting motion from the hips; and ashi-waza (foot and leg techniques), throws in which tori predominantly utilises his legs.
