Hand Throwing Technique

allowed in competitions with IJF rules. To grab at the legs in Judo competitions with IJF
rules will result in a shido(penalty).
The shoulder throw is the most popular technique in judo. There are two types: the two-
handed shoulder throw and the one-arm shoulder throw. The two-handed throw involves turning
and lifting your opponent on your back while keeping both hands on their judogi and throwing
them over your shoulder. In the one-arm technique, you throw the opponent over your shoulder
with your hands on one of your opponent's arms. Toshihiko Koga, gold medalist in the men's 71-
kilogram division at the 1992 Barcelona Olympics, and Ryoko Tamura, gold medalist in the
women's 48-kg division at the 2000 Sydney Olympics are both very good at shoulder throws. If
you drop one or both knees onto the mat before throwing your opponent, the move is called
a seoi otoshi (shoulder drop).
Holds
Pinning Techniques
Joint Locks
Ude hishigi juji gatame (arm-crushing cross hold)
This is the most frequently used armlock. With your
opponent on their back, you sit beside them and hold
one of their arms, pinning their upper body down
with your thighs, and bending their elbow in the
reverse direction. If they endure being held like this,
it could result in a broken arm or damaged
ligaments, so this technique forces them to submit.
Other pinning techniques involves the use of your legs as well as neck and shoulders in
holding the opponent's arm.

characteristic names of common single stick strikes and angles of attack:
1. San Miguel (Forehand strike). Using the right hand, San Miguel is a forehand strike,
shifting from the right shoulder of the striker on the way to his left hip. It’s named after the
Archangel Michael or Saint Michael, who is frequently depicted by grasping a sword this
way. This strike is the most usual for most inexperienced individuals. It’s frequently known
as the “angle number 1” in systems where angles of striking are being numbered for training
intentions since it’s assumed to be the most expected attack angle.
2. Redonda (Circular Strike). Another signature style is the “Redonda,” which is a nonstop,
circular, downward-striking, double-stick twirling style. A redonda, which means round in
Spanish, is a strike that thrashes circularly to go back to its spot of origin. This is particularly
useful when utilizing sticks instead of swords, such a strike permits tremendously fast hits
but needs regular practice.
4. Pilantik. Pilantik” is a strike carried out through thrashing the stick around the wrist above
the head, resembling a strike in a way an abanico is being used, but in irregular, three
hundred-degree strikes. It’s most helpful when combatants are in a grappling range, and
cannot make adequate space for regular strikes.
5. Puño. (“hilt,” “fist,” or “handle”) is a form of strike delivered using the weapon’s butt.
Usually, it aims for the opponent ’s nerve point or other soft spots, but in expert hands, this
style can be utilized to shatter bones. In general, arnis techniques are based on the notion that
both the practitioner and his or her opponents are well prepared and highly trained.
