Hip toss
A recognizable throw to study through balance, partnership, and the receiving role.
Also called: hiptoss · hip throw
The reference
Larry Sharpe introduces a brief hip-toss demonstration at the Monster Factory. The transcript contains little explanation, so the clip should not be mistaken for a complete lesson.
Prerequisites to discuss
Ask your coach to assess the landing foundation, partner match-up, and assisted progression before practice.
What to observe
In the video, identify the approach, the shared transition, and the reset. Which details need an in-person explanation?
Pitfalls & coaching questions
A still photo freezes only one instant. Do not infer a safe grip, lifting method, or landing from it. Avoid progressing from recognition directly to execution.
These prompts are editorial. Watch the original demonstration with a qualified coach, ask what the camera leaves out, and use the coach’s progression for physical practice. Our difficulty labels organize the library; they are not a school qualification.
