Te waza - Hand throws
In the group of hand throws (Te waza) techniques are included, where the partner will fall with the aid of TORI´s hands. The principles of "tilting" and "pulling" will be applied here:
- Tilting - UKE is tilted with the hand or the hands of a non-existent obstacle, TORI's guiding hand performs a circular motion. (e.g. Uki otoshi)
- Pulling - here are UKE's legs torn by the hands of TORI from the ground. (e.g. Sukui nage)
For each of the two principles are the hands of TORI the main point of contact with UKE. During the execution there are no more points of contact between UKE and TORI to preserve the feature of the hand throws.
In the Kano system the group of the shoulder throws (Kata waza) is not implemented, they added them to the area of hand throws.
