O Goshi
O Goshi is a fundamental hip throw in Judo, a martial art that emphasizes balance, leverage, and technique. In this throw, the practitioner uses their hips to lift and throw an opponent over their body. The technique begins with the judoka (practitioner) establishing a strong grip on the opponent's collar or sleeve, positioning themselves close to the opponent.
To execute O Goshi, the judoka turns their body, lowering their hips while maintaining a strong grip. They then use their hips to lift the opponent off the ground and throw them onto their back. This throw is effective for both beginners and advanced practitioners, showcasing the importance of body mechanics in Judo.
