Though there are about 100 throws in Jujutsu and 40 that made the Judo gokyo, we have 10 primary combat throws which we will practice on the mats.
The first 5 are hip throws with one shoulder throw:
These are TENKAN turning techniques
Koshi Guruma or Cross hip or Hip Wheel
Tai Otoshi - body drop
Uchi mata - inner thigh throw
Harai goshi - sweeping hip throw
Seoinage - shoulder throw or flying mare
The second 5 are reaps with one sutemi sacrifice throw
These are IRIMI entering techniques
O Soto Gari - major outer reap
O Uchi Gari - Major inner reap
Morote Gari - double leg takedown
Single leg takedown
Brazilian clinch takedown
I have listed the 10 primary nage waza that form the STMA combat throws.
However as you progress through your training you will encounter many other throws. Some you will want to add to your personal repertoire, which is to be encouraged.
Shihan Mifune 10th Dan Judo lists over 100 throws in his texts. Coming from Jujutsu, these can all be classified as Judo throws.
Here are some of my favourite secondary throws:
Okuri ashi harai
Kata guruma - shoulder wheel
Soto makikomi
Tani otoshi - valley drop
Tomoe nage - stomach throw
Kani basami - crab scissors
Kuchiki taoshi - rotten tree fall
and three from wrestling:
belly-belly suplex
belly-back suplex
rice bail
However:
The rice bail appears in Judo as tawara gaeshi.
It is an excellent counter to morote gari attack from a shooter.
Belly back suplex appears in Judo as corner drop
Kuchiki is similar to aikido's irimi nage, though here we use an o soto step to block the back of the opponent's leg.
In Tomiki shomen ate is another variation of this technique.
That's 3 different variations from 3 different arts - Judo, Aikido, and Tomiki - arts that all stem from JJ.
That's what the eclecticism of STMA is all about!
The two major throws we start with are:
Koshi nage - a hip throw - a tenkan waza
O soto gari - a reap - an irimi waza
from there we build a set of 5 tenka and 5 irimi waza to practice regularly.
Beyond that you would add other throws from the secondary and tertiary lists.
As these are COMBAT JUJUTSU moves we do atemi - blow before throw, using a headbutt before an irimi and a groin knee before a tenkan.
We also use push-pull concept to set the throw up.
To simplify matters further we now have a list of the
5 STMA Combat Throws
Cross hip koshi guruma
Flying mare seionage
Morote Nage double leg td
O soto gari outer reap
Brazilian clinch
these are the five that together cover every eventuality and every direction, taken from the list of 10 posted above.
It is far simpler to perfect these 5 throws as a set first then work to build your set of tenkan and your set of irimi.
Having evolved the practice of ST JJ over the past 4 years we now have a set of tds that are based on the choice to close the gap from the outrange to grappling range and go to the floor
Though we always hold the base concept that in a Street fight we do not choose to go to the ground, it is a strategy that exists and we do cover the option
in the early UFCs Royce used these techniques to close the gap and get the opponent down
also it has been done successfully in Street Self defence sitiuations by JJ students
so we shoot for the legs for a leg td or shoot for the standing clinch to apply a td
we do this against a opponet who is advancing aggressively and an opponent who is advancing cautiously - both have advantages and disadvantages - and keep in mind the purpose of JJ as Self defence is to work with what the attacker gives us, we are not attacking them
shoot and double leg td
shoot and clinch
body fold td
leg hook td
pull guard
against cross punch
B&W rear clinch
tani otoshi - valley drop td
in the clinch you may well end up in a headlock or guillotine and want to take the fight to the ground to gain control
headlock td - front sutemi valley drop
guillotine td - body fold
the difference between these and "Judo" throws is we don't start from the trapping range vertical tie up and fight for the throw - we establish a VG clinch
these can and usually are practiced on grass day whereas Judo throws need to be done on mats for safety
