Re: Does Aikido have leg throws,trips&traps?

Yep, I like 'em. Work exceptionally well if you off balance the person first. There's a sweet one in the ikkajo Daito ryu syllibus...

Also, there is a style of koshinage that uses the leg instead of the hip to block uke's movement to cause the throw. If you do that in combination with shihonage...devastating would be an understatement. I HATE taking that ukemi...
