Shomen uchi

• Nikkyo ura - catch uke's shomen (both your hands at his wrist) and tenkan 180 degrees; now you are facing opposite to where you started. Now do J step leading uke's wrist around; bring his wrist to your shoulder at the end of the J step..

• Hajiki goshi - Irimi to uke's rt side and tenkan. Your left hand is on his rt elbow. Do J step (irimi deep) and place your rt hand on uke's left shoulder.

• shihonage - left hanmi
  • omote - your left hand (cross hand) receives the strike and your right hand is placed on top of your left hand. Turn your hips all the way to your right, as you receive the strike. Use your right hand to push uke's arm to the outside (I never knew this part of it!)

Kneel down on your left knee and bring your right leg back so it is 90 degrees to the direction of the throw.

• taiotoshi - omote & ura

Shomenuchi attack - nage in left hanmi

• Ikkyo - once you enter, bring uke's arm down following the curve of his arm. This is different from pushing his elbow into his ear.

• kata hiki otoshi variation omote - start doing taiotoshi omote; once you bring uke's arm down, irimi further with your right foot on uke's left side. Put your left arm over uke's right shoulder and tenkan on your right foot, bringing uke around 180 degrees.

• Aiki nage (drop and take out uke's knees) - step with your right rear foot deep into uke's right side; atemi upwards to uke's face with your right hand. You want to get hime moving upwards. Once uke is commited to strike, drop to your knees facing 90 degrees to the line of attack and take uke's space. Done correctly, nage takes uke out at the knees, so uke must take the fall and let his knees move upwards out of the way. Uke can place his hand on nage's back.
