Untitled[edit]

I made this article more interesting by adding detail.

Once, against my sensei's training, I attempted to use this high-risk technique in a children's judo tournament, and ended up in a hilarious situation where I was on my back with my opponent suspended helpless above me on my feet.

I know it's a bit silly to get information from a video game, but in Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory this is shown as way to throw someone who is willing, to launch them across gaps and to just throw them at people. Does anyone know if the Tomoe Nage could be a mutual technique? (Darkskul 20:50, 12 May 2007 (UTC))[reply]

Japanese script[edit]

Done. I confirmed it by jawp. Sometimes it is written as "巴投げ" for/with a pronunciation. --Nightshadow28 16:42, 20 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

According to Kōdōkan's waza list, "巴投" (Tomoe nage) is used officially.[1] --Nightshadow28 14:42, 21 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

High risk[edit]

The article does not stress how risky this throw is for the attacker. In judo class I never was able to complete it successfully, and it usually resulted in winding up on my back with the opponent on top of me. In most throws a failure does not have such a dire result. Edison (talk) 04:45, 25 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It is a sacrifice throw. I'm not a martial artist myself, but when I see this move attempted (in real life, not movies, where it invariably succeeds spectacularly), I usually just see the opponent crouch as soon as the attacker drops: center of gravity lowered (I think that's what's happening, anyway), threat neutralized, attacker on his back. I think it would only be effective against someone who doesn't expect it and doesn't know how to react, e.g., an untrained mugger off the street. It's a flashy-looking move that looks very graceful and powerful when executed on a cooperative opponent, which explains its frequent appearance in popular media, but it doesn't strike me as a very practical maneuver when facing even a novice martial artist, for reasons you mentioned.

But like I said, I'm a layman. I could be wrong. TaintedMustard (talk) 19:22, 13 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
