The Gokyo - Throws of Judo

So what is your favorite Judo throwing technique and which one do you think matches your body type and why?

Judo has perfected the art of throwing a resisting adversary on his back. In this video, Neil Adams, 8th degree Black Belt World Champion and two time silver medalist demonstrates 40 throwing techniques of Judo and gives competition examples for many. This is an excellent resource for anyone to have.


Mastery of throwing is very important in todays Judo.These throws demonstrate a fundamental understanding of balance, timing, speed and power. These 40 throws were chosen by Judo Masters in this order for teaching purposes. Most Judo Federations including the Bahamas Judo Federation use these techniques as a part of the  requirement for advancing in rank.

Competition Judo has recently shed many of the influences of wrestling and gone back to these fundamental Judo techniques. Judo is once again an exciting and dynamic throwing sport. Now we also have the advent of Judo on TV and youtube.

The Bahamas Open on April 6 will be an exciting event. We are looking forward to meeting and greeting all competitors.

Talk to you soon.



D'Arcy Rahming
President Bahamas Judo Federation
