Nage-Waza 投技

Throwing Techniques

Nage-Waza encompasses all standing throwing techniques in judo. The thrower (tori) uses kuzushi (balance breaking), tsukuri (fitting or entry), and kake (execution) to unbalance and project the opponent (uke) to the mat. Nage-Waza is divided into five subcategories based on the primary throwing mechanism.
