Most people don’t think about how easy it is to use someone’s weight and momentum against them when they try to attack you. By using certain jujitsu pitches, I can show you how to run business. This is not rocket science, but there are some important techniques that need to be followed to get the most out of what I’m telling you.

The first fundamental element to understand is the idea of ​​proper posture. Being in the right position is so important that I can tell you from my own experience. Keep your legs apart and keep good posture. You cannot throw an opponent off balance when you are unbalanced yourself. That’s why with jujitsu throws you can take on much bigger opponents. It’s not always the bigger guy who wins, but the one who uses the best technique and practices it well.

You see, pitching is all about balance and leverage. And using momentum against your opponent. By placing yourself in the correct position, usually lower than the person you are facing, you put them at a disadvantage. By keeping them off balance and reacting to what you do, you make them do what you want. Imagine when someone runs at full speed; you can use that momentum to initiate a pitch. Remember to use your hips and get underneath the other guy when doing any throws.

I know these simple principles work because I have used them before. I remember a drunk guy carrying me from across the room. That was his mistake. I was able to grab his outstretched arm and twist with the weight of his body. I put my hips under him and he went straight to the ground. I was able to use my own center of gravity to disrupt his and knocked him down with ease. After that, it was almost over.

So practice getting into proper posture keeping your hips centered under your torso and your head straight. Always keep your head straight. Remember that your body will follow your head and you cannot fight someone when you look down. When you move, be sure to move in a circular direction so your opponent continues to guess. If you are still, it is almost impossible to get any kind of rhythm or momentum on your own. So keep your feet moving, but make sure you don’t cross them. Keep your feet apart when you move. If you don’t, you could trip over your own feet. That is no way to cast anyone with any kind of power or precision.
