Throws are a high-level move in toribash. It is rarely done outside aikido and wrestling mods. It's similar to a suplex, but the focus isn't to lift the opponent out of the ring, but rather get him off balance and push him to the floor with great force. It's seen as good manners to throw inside the ring.
The principle behind a throw is similar to that of a lever - the further you can get your legs behind your opponent, the more force you will have in your throw. It's done by lifting an opponent of the ground and tipping him over in a suplex-like motion. You need good control of arms and groundwork to pull it off.
Different kinds of throws[]
There's two defined throw types in Toribash. The half-throw (or semi throw) and the full-throw. As described by a well known player:

full throw is when your opponent face opposite direction. more like 69 ;)
full_throw.rplthis is the difference between full and semi (half) throw
full throw when one arm is up and another is down, then you rotate to another side and change arms, in the end you and opponent face each other in 69 manner ;)

very rough idea of what it is
change arms and full torso turn"
There is also shoulder throws, where the player turns his back against his opponent and tips him over.
