Shoulder throws in aikido
Shoulder throws
A shoulder throw involves throwing an opponent over the shoulder. A shoulder throw which lifts the opponent from the ground is in Japanese referred to as seoi-nage (背負投, "shoulder throw"), while a throw which involves dropping to the ground and pulling the opponent over the shoulder is referred to as seoi-otoshi (背負落, "shoulder drop").[1] Seoi-nage is one of the most used throws in elite Judo competition; one study indicated that approximately 56% of judokas implemented the technique.[2]
A common shoulder throw is judo's Ippon Seoinage (literally, one armed shoulder carry but commonly referred to as shoulder throw) or the similar flying mare in wrestling.[3]
It should be noted that most throws are named by describing the circumvention point of the throw (eg hip throw, shoulder throw, wrist throw etc), or the nature of effect of the throw on the opponent (eg heaven and earth throw, valley drop, body drop). Variations are given descriptive names. The names mentioned and attributed to Jujutsu throws (and hence Judo/aikido throws) are descriptions in Japanese. It is conventional for the Japanese to name their throws in this manner, and many English/American martial art dojo's have given English names to the throws. It is easier for English speaking students to remember the names of throws if they can associate the throws by the descriptive nature of the throw name.
