A shoulder throw is a grappling technique commonly used in martial arts, particularly in judo and wrestling. This move involves lifting an opponent off the ground and throwing them over your shoulder, using their momentum to execute the throw effectively. It requires good balance, timing, and body positioning to perform correctly. To execute a shoulder throw, the practitioner typically grips the opponent's body, often around the waist or upper body. By shifting their weight and using their legs to generate power, the thrower can lift and pivot, sending the opponent tumbling onto the mat. Proper technique is essential to ensure safety for both individuals involved.
