The Hip Throw, or Mjaðmakast, is a primary technique used in Glíma. This version puts more force into it by sweeping out the opponent’s legs while executing it.
After slamming your opponent, keeping their arm pulled up keeps them off balance, giving you a few options to finish them:
You can stomp their head while pulling up.
You can execute an arm-breaking technique.
You can conduct a pin, such as with your knee on their belly.
If armed, you can draw your weapon.
Of course, the impact of the throw may have already put them out of action!
