Home Technique Analysis Joint Locking Throws Grip Fighting

A takedown technique differs to a generic throwing technique used in judo. They are Jujitsu methods using the structural levers of the joints to create the off balancing to ground stabilse the opponent.
The difference between a throwing technique and a takedown is simply this:
- Throwing techniques uses the body in combination with a lever i.e. A Jujitsu joint locking throw or judo modified throw (Jujitsu joint locking techniques use levers and the body to complete the technique).
- A takedown only uses the lever of a leg or arm to off balance and ground stabilise your opponent.
