Flying Mare / Teddy bag heave

  • Class: Heave
  • Designation: Frontside In-play
  • Skill level: High
  • Strength level: High

The Flying Mare is named after ‘Pegasus’. The Flying Mare is performed using the ropes, and the Teddy Bag heave is using the sleeve[1], but is the same throw.

Under heave

  • Class: Heave
  • Designation: Rearside In-play
  • Skill level: High
  • Strength level: High

A lift of the opponent from underneath. Because it relies upon the opponent having their head low across the belly, it’s often used as a defence against a hip.

Back heave

  • Class: Heave
  • Designation: Rearside In-play
  • Skill level: High
  • Strength level: High

This is a strong person’s throw because it involves picking up your opponent. This technique is the Westcountry equivalent to the ‘Ura nage’ or ‘Ushiro-goshi’ throws in Judo.

Fore heave

  • Class: Heave
  • Designation: Rearside In-play
  • Skill level: High
  • Strength level: High

This is a strong person’s throw because it involves picking up your opponent. Unlike the hip, the heave is a sudden lift that takes the opponent’s feet clean off the ground, using the hip or knee to facilitate.
