Select the following Judo throws (nage waza) to see a 3-step drawing of how to do the technique. In each case the person being thrown (uke) is wearing the darker judogi. The techniques are listed in alphabetical order by the Japanese name.
As an additional reference you may wish to look at these photos or these drawings of throws being executed in competition.
These drawings were prepared by Sensei Bill Nauta and are provided here with his permission. There are 60 throws and 180 separate drawings that represent a considerable amount of work. These drawings are reduced and encoded with a hidden digital signature for identification, and they may not be reproduced without Mr. Nauta's express permission. A wall poster which includes all of these throws is available from the USJA. Mr. Nauta is a 5th degree black belt instructor of the Encino Judo Club and a commercial graphic artist working on a book about Judo. He has also produced a video, "The Key to Armlocks", available for $15, plus shipping. Write to Bill Nauta at 18929 Hart Street, Reseda, CA USA 91335 for further information.
