Do you think that you would see this sort of thing in IMA's? He is essentially supporting this guys entire body weight and I'm guessing he's throwing him forward.
This seems a lot more use of strength then you would see in IMA's.
At least in my experience.
that throw is seionage. you off balance before the throw, so his balance was already going forward onto the thrower. the thrower will pop his hips and twist his waist to send the guy onto the ground. It's not strength based at all.
Now, having said that, strength does come into play during competitions and such, natrually. That would also likely apply to an IMA throwing competition, if there were to ever be one.
