Nage — Throws
Nage is the art of throwing — taking an attacker\u2019s balance and moving them to the ground using body position rather than strength. The name simply means \u201cto throw.\u201d In Bujinkan, throws emerge from the same principles as the strikes and locks: enter correctly, control the center, and the throw follows from the opponent\u2019s own structure. Ganseki nage (\u201cboulder throw\u201d) is the classic example from Kihon Happo — the attacker is \u201ccarried\u201d over like a heavy rock that has lost support. Throws are practiced slowly and safely with strong ukemi.
