Shuai Chiao: Chinese Wrestling Gi Throws 

Shuai Jiao can be argued that it is the ancestor of judo. Japan took a lot of things from China. Even karate is a descendant of southern gung fu styles, so it wouldn’t be surprising that Shuai Jiao is the ancestor of judo.

I train Shuai-Jiao and BJJ in the UK the throw Lavell is showing is a variation of a Tsuai or Bowing throw, there are a lot of different variations some are pretty much the same as traditional Judo grip, others with a high sleeve and cross lapel grip and this one which I like a lot for the quick set-up. A Tai-Otoshi in Shuai-Jiao is called a Bie. My personal belief which I think is most in line with the recorded history is that the Tang Dynasty version of Shuai-Jiao is the precursor to Sumo wrestling. But that the Grappling of Japanese jiu-jitsu is simply a case of convergent evolution. Especially as its greatest periods of JJJ expansion and growth during the shogunate era Japan was largely isolated from China and a lot of the outside world. Pretty much all cultures have or have had a system of wrestling/or jacket-based type techniques. Even the early fencing schools of Europe taught wrestling, throws, locks, and holds.

It's a fucking video with demos, you don't have to understand what the chinese are saying

It's more often than not a strength issue in these cases. You have to be able to move that much weight around consistently to throw bigger opponents. People always underestimate the necessity of strength training for martial artists. The leverage in this throw should work on bigger people, you just have to be strong enough to move a certain portion of their weight.

@@danielhounshell2526 All this, but also look at if there's something you can do in how you set the throw and your unbalancing. I've found that with larger guys. Cutting the angle on this throw and going at it diagonally from your uke rather than being at a full 180 degrees from uke. Don't know if that makes sense but it might help.

@@danielhounshell2526 Strength is clearly needed, but I think technique is as important. I know this is shauai cjiao, but I have seen Judo guys throw guys near twice their size. The technique of it was the positioning of the smaller guys hips and how he uplifted the larger opponent. It was an awesome spectacle to view.

Just do Judo
