A variety of throwing techniques based on sweeping or lifting with the thighs, legs and feet are demonstrated. While these throws look like a great deal of strengh is required, these throws are the result of good solid technical skill based on Kuzushi (Unbalancing), Tsukuri (Fitting In), Kake (Execution) and Kime (Follow-Through or Finish). For more on these skills, get a copy of the books WINNING ON THE MAT or THROWS AND TAKEDOWNS published by Turtle Press. Commentary by Steve Scott.
