Hip Throw - 허리치기 (Heori Chigi) / 배대되치기 (Baedae-doechigi)
Authentic Hapkido / Judo Hip Throw (O-Goshi / Koshi-Guruma)
Classic hip throw from Hapkido and Judo using hip as fulcrum to project opponent.
One of the first throws taught in Hapkido (합기도) and Judo (유도) due to its
fundamental mechanics and effectiveness. The hip becomes the pivot point that
multiplies force, allowing smaller practitioners to throw larger opponents.
Korean Martial Arts Biomechanics:
Deep Entry (깊은 진입): Step in front of opponent, hip lower than theirs

Hip Position (골반 위치): Hip positioned under opponent's center of mass
Hip Rotation (골반 회전): Explosive hip rotation lifts and throws
Forward Lean (앞으로 숙임): Upper body leans forward for leverage
Leg Drive (다리 힘): Legs extend to add upward lift force
Hapkido Principles Applied:

유 (Yu - Flow): Blend with opponent's movement
화 (Hwa - Harmony): Use opponent's energy against them
