As part of your technical training for Jiu-Jitsu techniques, it is important to master hip throws.
The hips provide the power for all hip throws, use them like the pivot point (falcrum) of a lever. Place them lower than your opponents centre of gravity and with a little force in the right direction, you will make them tumble over. The force can be generated either from your opponents body weight and movement or from you pulling them towards you.
Basically by using your opponents forward momentum and weight, you can use hip throws to take down much larger opponents.
Hip Throws are one of the easier throws for a beginner to apply. It is the base throw from which many variations are based so it is essential that you master hip throws.
Although hip throws are generally taught using the right side of your body, it is very important to train and practice hip throws using your left side too. This not only gives you the additional options of using hip throws from different positions but practice on both sides of the body will develop muscles equally, keeping your body in balance.
Learn basic hip throws and then look at making any necessary modifications to suit your style. It also makes a difference whether you are applying them for tournament or for self defense.
