A "throw" in grappling refers to a technique used to lift and then propel an opponent to the ground, typically using leverage and body mechanics rather than brute strength. Throws are a fundamental aspect of various martial arts and wrestling styles, including judo, Brazilian jiu-jitsu, wrestling, and many others. In executing a throw, a practitioner often aims to destabilize their opponent through foot sweeps, body movement, or manipulation of balance before executing the throw itself.
