Fireman's Carry, known in wrestling as the fireman's carry throw or kata guruma in judo, is a family of throws in which the attacker ducks under the opponent, loads them across their shoulders, and wheels them over to the mat. [1],[2] The throw begins with the attacker securing an arm tie or collar tie, dropping to one or both knees beneath the opponent, threading one arm between the opponent's legs while the other controls the arm, and then standing or rolling to lift the opponent across the shoulders before dumping them to the ground. [2],[3] The fireman's carry is one of the most commonly taught wrestling throws at all levels, valued for its effectiveness against opponents of equal or greater size and its relatively low-risk entry from a tied-up position. [3],[4] In judo, the technique is classified as kata guruma (shoulder wheel) and is a hand technique (te waza). [4]
История и происхождение
The fireman's carry has been a staple of wrestling since ancient times, with similar shoulder-loading techniques depicted in medieval and Renaissance wrestling manuals. [1],[2] The technique was a fundamental part of catch-as-catch-can wrestling and was adopted into both freestyle and Greco-Roman competition, where it became one of the most widely practised throws. [2],[3] In judo, Jigoro Kano included kata guruma in the original gokyo. [3]

Биомеханический механизм
Primary Action — Pulling and lifting with the arms to load the opponent over the shoulder or upper back
Joints Involved — Attacker's shoulders (loading point), elbows (pulling action), hips (turning under the opponent)
Force Vector — Forward and downward rotation — the pulling arm creates circular momentum while the body turns underneath
Kuzushi (Off-balancing) — Forward — breaking the opponent's balance forward over their toes allows the turning entry
Позиция и вход
From collar and sleeve grip — Pull the opponent forward and up, turn in while dropping below their centre of gravity, load them onto the back/shoulder and rotate forward to throw
From sleeve grip (ippon seoi) — Secure the sleeve, step across, load the arm over the shoulder while turning, pull and throw
From underhook — Turn in with the underhook side, load the opponent over the shoulder and drive forward

✓The fireman's carry throws the opponent over your shoulders by ducking under their arm and loading them across your back — a fundamental wrestling throw at all levels (Gallagher, Wrestling for Fighting, 2014)
✓Level change is the key entry: drop your level (knees bent, back straight) and duck under the opponent's arm
✓Your lead arm threads between the opponent's legs while your head goes under their arm
✓Load the opponent across your shoulders — their torso on your back, their arm controlled over your shoulder
✓Once loaded, roll them off your shoulders by pulling the arm and kicking the legs
✓In freestyle wrestling, the fireman's carry is one of the highest-percentage throws at the youth and collegiate level
✓Set up the fireman's carry with tie-ups: an arm drag or a snap-down creates the opening to duck under
Типичные ошибки
!Not changing levels low enough — if you don't get under the opponent, they sprawl and front headlock you
!Ducking the head without controlling the arm — the opponent guillotines or front headlocks you
!Not threading the arm deep enough between the legs — the opponent steps over your arm and escapes
!Loading the opponent but not following through with the dump — you just carry them without throwing
!Keeping your back parallel to the ground too long — you're vulnerable to a crossface and spin
!Not protecting your neck during the entry — tuck your chin to prevent front headlocks
!Attempting without a setup — fireman's carry entries are easily scouted without a convincing first move

Modified Fireman Carry
ПодсемействоModified Fireman's Carry encompasses variations of the standard fireman's carry throw that alter the entry, grip, or finishing mechanics to adapt to different competitive rulesets or tactical situations. [1,2] Common modifications include entering from a single-leg position, executing without dropping to the knees, or finishing with a lateral roll rather than a shoulder wheel. [2,3] In modern freestyle wrestling and MMA, modified entries are especially important due to rule changes and the need to avoid exposing the back during the throw. [3]

Standard Fireman Carry
ПодсемействоStandard Fireman's Carry is the classical execution of the shoulder wheel throw in which the attacker drops beneath the opponent, loads them fully across the shoulders by threading one arm between the legs and controlling the opposite arm, and then stands and rotates to dump the opponent to the mat. [1,2] This version emphasises the full shoulder-loading position and is the form most commonly taught in introductory wrestling and judo curricula. [2,3] The throw is mechanically similar to judo's kata guruma and is effective against opponents who lean their weight forward. [3]

Known as kata-guruma in judo. Banned from IJF competition since 2010 when rule changes prohibited grabbing below the belt. Still widely used in freestyle/Greco-Roman wrestling and MMA. (IJF rule changes 2010; Kano, Kodokan Judo)
Часто задаваемые вопросы
How tight should I hold the grip when setting up a fireman's carry?
Christian Graugart emphasizes that the grip must be super tight—not loose at all. Hold it really tight to maintain control throughout the technique.
What's the best body position for executing a fireman's carry?
Push your head into your opponent at a 45-degree angle and get as close to their arm as possible. This posture is essential for both gi and no-gi applications.
Should I sit straight down or to the side when finishing the fireman's carry?
Sit down on your side rather than straight down—this requires much less flexibility and is easier for most practitioners to execute successfully.
Why shouldn't I grab the leg when rolling from a fireman's carry?
If you grab the leg and roll, your opponent will stick to you all the way over, preventing the completion. Instead, focus on lowering your center of gravity by sitting all the way down while looking up.
