WILTON TEJADA: Hi, my name is Wilton Tejada. I'm one of the instructors here at Camp Undefeated, New York City. In this clip, we're going to learn how to do an aikido hip throw. So basically, my partner right here, he's going to come. Redirect the blow, grab, hip right under his hip, push this way. So again, he's doing most of the work. I'm hardly giving or doing nothing. The force coming forward will do the work. So again, it's just basically opening up his direction; hip right under his, keep the momentum going, and again, you could come subdue him this way. One more time, very slow. Again, step to his inside, foot right in the middle of his 2 legs, come around, keep the direction, keep pushing him forward. Hip right under him, and let him go. Again, control the situation. And basically, that's how a hip throw is performed. So, again, you can also come all the way around this way. Another variation of lift, come around, see how he turned, kept going the direction, and have him in his back. So basically, that's how you do an aikido hip throw.
