Pull over the heel

  • Class: Trip
  • Designation: Frontside In-play
  • Skill level: Medium
  • Strength level: Medium

The hitch is taken on the sleeve, much like when performing the Teddy Bag heave. The point of leverage is over the heel, after stretching the leg out as far as possible to the outside of leg of the opponent. The action is very similar to the ‘guruma’ throws in Judo.

Back crook

  • Class: Crook
  • Designation: Frontside In-play
  • Skill level: Medium
  • Strength level: Medium

The Back Crook is a staple method of the Devonshire style, and usually one of the first to be taught. In Devon, it is primarily known as the Back Inside-lock.

Pull over the hip

  • Class: Hip
  • Designation: Rearside In-play
  • Skill level: Medium
  • Strength level: Medium

A variant of the Fore hip, where the arm is placed over the opponent’s nearest shoulder instead of crossing around their back. Because the control is so small, and leverage is narrow, this throw requires greater strength than the Fore hip.
