The Art of Throwing: Principles & Techniques by Marc Tedeschi is a comprehensive guide to the principles, mechanics, and techniques used to throw an opponent.

The book explores a wide variety of throwing methods, including hip throws, leg techniques, sweeps, reaps, sacrifice throws, and other methods of disrupting an opponent’s balance. Particular attention is given to leverage, timing, positioning, footwork, body mechanics, and the principle of breaking balance before executing a throw.

Detailed explanations and photographic demonstrations illustrate the techniques step by step and show how the underlying principles apply across different martial arts. The Art of Throwing serves as a useful reference for practitioners of judo, jujutsu, karate, aikido, grappling, and other martial arts that incorporate takedowns and throws.
