In judo / jujitsu how do you explosively pull someone towards you?

What are the mechanics of grabbing someone%26#039;s gi and pulling him towards you to set them up for a throw. What muscles do you use?





I heard things like use my entire body, but I think it%26#039;s more efficient just to use my arm muscles alone because I want to quickly transition into a throw.|||It%26#039;s got more to do with your hip action and footwork than with your arm muscles. Setting up for a throw is a complicated process that requires constant practice and refinement to master. It%26#039;s not so much about pulling him towards you, as it is about positioning yourself under his center of gravity to be able to get good leverage and using his momentum to throw him off balance. Basically, once you get past a certain point where his balance is broken, gravity takes over, so all you really need to do to throw someone is focus practice on footwork for setting up for throws instead of strengthening your arm muscles. The explosiveness you%26#039;re talking about comes from being able to anticipate where your opponent will be after you set him up and making him resist your attack so you can use the momentum of his resistance against him by reversing the direction of your attack and make him overextend himself and break his balance in one swift motion. Using your arm muscles alone will turn it into a tug of war match which while easy if your opponent is lighter than you, can be difficult when going up against bigger and heavier opponents. Besides, if you%26#039;re gonna rely on arm strength alone, what%26#039;s the point of taking up Judo or Jujitsu? Might as well take up Arm Wrestling.|||Well you use the biceps in the arm and back muscles to pull your opponent into you. but yes, the entire body is used. eg. When pulling you stabilize yourself by using the leg and calve muscles, so as you don%26#039;t pull yourself into your opponent. And your stomach muscles are used to exhale when you pull in.





The key to doing this technique is by doing it when your opponent is momentarily off guard. (the second he has finished a technique, when he is moving backwards etc) it needs practice.

Push even harder, and he will do then same, then suddenly being pulling and he will come at you explosively and off-balance, which is good for setting up a throw.
