Sutemi-Waza

(Sacrifice Techniques)

There are several sacrifice throws but, in this section, I am only describing the most popular. In sutemi-waza one throws one's opponent by sacrificing one's own balance. This is achieved by using the weight and impetus of one's falling body to throw the other man. From the self-defence point of view, these techniques are not so useful if one is opposed by more than one opponent as one is left on the floor at the mercy of the other attackers.Tomoe-nage (stomach throw)
