Shoulder throws are found in most grappling martial arts. Although they aren't common in MMA, there have been examples of them being successfully used.

1. Grip fighting

2. Seeking the cross under-hook vs taking the back

3. Ditto

4. Begin in shoulder throw position - execute takedown vs counter or escape

5. Ditto
