Karate throws

Nage waza (投げ技) is the set of throwing techniques of Karate, whereby the opponent is thrown to the ground or destabilized so peremptory, for the fight completed in a ikken hissatsu. Despite being a neglected genre in modern styles of karate, there are various techniques in their repertoire.

Its origin had much to do with the abilities of samurai, when fighting unarmed and in a less striking, with more primitive forms of struggle in the rest of Asia, which it will demonstrate that most karate as cultural heritage Nipponese.

History

Karate was never perceived as a martial art developed evenly. Evidence of this is mor to have seen this history the emergence of three major schools, based in three cities that are distant little geographically, pero very conceptually. So, since they share all styles, modern and antiquated, common principles, the ideas behind the practical applications of the techniques can vary significantly.

When seeking the source of techniques, in comparison to other Japanese martial arts karate has a variety of sources that might come from China, Japan or many other countries.

Based on actual factual circumstances, Karatekas and teachers knew that the blows striking methods do not always show viable against any type of opponent, since in tight spaces or to use against someone in armor, kick or punch not would be very effective. However, even if that opponent was prostrate on the floor or at the very moment of a fall, would be perfectly possible the use of an incapacitating stroke, since the vulnerable parts are exposed and responsiveness have been compromised.

Without forgetting its connections with other native combat systems, the throwing techniques were introduced primarily from two sources, that is, the samurai and Chinese martial artists who taught qinna or other methods. During the course of the nineteenth century to the twentieth century, there was an intense exchange of knowledge between teachers Gichin Funakoshi and Jigoro Kano, which both introduced/adapted their systems of fighting techniques from each other. In turn, master Kenwa Mabuni, and both have with Master Funakoshi, sought knowledge from various sources that not only those of the masters who bequeathed the core of the style Shito-ryu.

By its very nature Karate is a martial art that can be trained in solitude, what is done through kata. Such a feature until the present day, in traditional circles, is considered the main form of transmission of the martial art. So, exactly kata are transmitted by the throwing techniques of karate.

Characteristics

Kari waza

Kari waza (刈 技, cutting ability) is the set of technical pitfalls and can be applied with the hands or feet. Unlike what occurs in the corresponding techniques in other martial arts, the use of a sweep in karate, when done with your feet, do not always require use of hands holding other points in the opponent's body, although its use may be advisable, for the purpose of application of control movements of the opponent. Another difference is that the techniques of kari waza include, other than judo, both sweeps (kari) and the trailing (harai).

Ashi barai

Ashi barai (足掃) is made in a circular path, scraping his foot (or leg below the knee) over the opponent's flush and, simultaneously, the waist turns gyaku kaiten. In addition to eventually topple the other, has the usefulness of the unbalance to the making of another attack technique.

Kakato gaeshi (踵返し) is a stride in the foot: you take behind the heel of one foot, or just pulling or locking with the use of an impulse contrary to the same leg. Can be run as suwari waza, or whether it preferentially in shiko dashi stance.

Ko soto gari

Ko soto gari (小外刈)is done at close range, pulls up the leg of the enemy, from the outside, with the area of a linear motion and teisoku on Jun kaiten belt. Not to be confused with the technique of barai ashi, why the latter is a trailing or catching the opponent's leg and can be made against the knees to the bottom, ko soto gari while in, and a sweep is made ​​a pulling, so this technique involves the techniques of ko soto gari and ko soto gaki of judo.

Ko uchi gari

Ko uchi gari (小内刈) runs a short distance, pull the opponent's leg, on the inside. It is very similar to the technique ko soto gari.

Nami gaeshi

Nami gaeshi (波返し) is a scam run by passing the leg in a circular motion behind the opponent's leg to the height of the knee joint, while simultaneously pushing the stem in contrary motion while applies atemi target leg. This technique can be used for attack and defense.

O soto gari

O soto gari (大外刈) is performed by scraping or pulling your leg, from the outside, with the opponent's area Kakato conjugated to share outside and back of the leg — fukurahagi —. The movement should be started when you sho zenkutsu at the base, or bottom moroashi without stretching the base, not to lose balance. The final position is identical to the original. And the waist on Jun kaiten turns first and then in reverse. The movement is basically the same kick fumikiri, but runs as a trailing.

O uchi gari

O uchi gari (大内刈) is performed by scraping or pulling the opponent's leg between his legs, similar to o soto gari.

Udewa

Udewa morote gari (腕輪), or Morote gari (諸手刈), is done by holding up both his opponent's legs, locking them both to pull them back. The idea is to harness the recoil motion that will eventually make the opponent or, if not back, it is a direct thrust at the belt line, to knock back.

Sutemi waza

Sutemi waza (舍身 技) are the techniques of sacrifice, ie, they are those movements in which the karateka abdicates his standing posture, tipping adverásrio with its own downfall. As both will fall, who must perform this type of scam should be able to control both his fall on the other, but does so in order not to get hurt, transferring the most energy to the opponent, who will suffer from his fall which is beyond their control.

Judo and jiu-jitsu have both a set of techniques of sacrifice, but with a greater number of movements. In a way, even a karate chop, depending on how it is implemented, can be either judo or even several. For example, tomoe guruma can match both the tomoe-nage on the sumi-gaeshi.

Do not encourage the use of techniques sutemi, because even if you control the movement, there is some degree of unpredictability, and should be used basically as a last option, considering that the solo part (ne waza) of karate is very restricted, because the blows striking methods are effective only in descentendes trajectories.

Kani basami
