Ich zitiere mal aus dem Karate-Do Kyohan (Seite 227):

"Thus in Karate, hitting, thrusting and kicking are not the only methods; throwing techniques ((nagewaza) and pressure against joints are also included. Depending upon the strength and skill of the opponent it is not always necessary to use powerful techniques like hitting, thrusting and kicking, but, adjusting to the situation, softer techniques such as throwing may be used, and in this versatility there is an inexpressible savor. Whether throwing techniques or joint-pressure techniques, there are, as stated previously in the explanation of sparring and iai, innumerable techniques, and the important thing is to adjust according to the opponent, so the use of these techniques will be left to the discretion of the researcher. One must always keep in mind that since the essence of karate is found in a single thrust or kick, and one should never be grasped by or grapple with an opponent, one must be very careful not to be defeated through concern with throwing an opponent or applying a joint-punishment hold."

Passt ganz gut zum Thema, finde ich.
