Answer
Throws are indeed central to aikido, a Japanese martial art known for its defensive techniques. Unlike other martial arts emphasizing strikes, throws in aikido utilize an opponent's momentum and force against them, allowing practitioners to gain control and subdue an attacker without causing excessive harm or injury, making it a more defensive and non-aggressive form of combat.
