Default "judo" throws

Judo throws aren't any different from wrestling throws. For the most part. How do I know? I wrestled some, and I have a buddy that wrestled quite extensively.

The difference is the classifications and system of naming.

A leg-trip is a leg-trip.

A hip throw is a hip throw.

A sacrifice is a sacrifice. It doesn't matter where it comes from.

Wrestling has "shoulder throws". Wrestling has "hip throws".
Even without the Gi.

If I had to suggest someone learn judo throws, I'd say learn Judo's version of the single leg, double leg, and Suplex. That must be a good start. Because those moves score well in NHB fighting. They have several versions of these throws, especially the single legs.

But don't listen to me, cause I'm no authority.
