Forced motion

Forced motion (for lack of a better word) refers to one person hauling, carrying, dragging, pulling or pushing another person away to another place. So both people are moving together, but one is active (enforcing the movement), while the other is passive.

Forced motion is used:

• when a person is unable to walk themselves (e.g. unconscious or too weak)
• to show one's love or affection (mostly in carrying)
• when a person is unwilling to go to the place where the other person wants him to (resistance)
• when a person is compliant, but the other person wants to ensure that there is no resistance, and/or to demonstrate their power or authority

Methods of forced motion

Examples are:

• carrying in one's arms
• carrying sitting on one's shoulders
• carrying over the shoulder
• carrying using the fireman's lift
• carrying under the arm
• dragging by the hand, wrist or upper arm
• pushing with a hand on the back (between the shoulders or at the lower back)
• pushing with a hand on the buttocks, or out right spanked with each step (spank-marched)
• grasping by the nape of the neck
• ear pulling / dragging by the ear
• pulling by the hair
• headlock
