Chop Wisby:

I'll let Burton know about your post. He is pretty busy, but hopefully he will be able to post soon.

I trained Aikido for about five years before I got into JKD and did quite a few variations of this throw, usually termed kokyû-nage. Although I still sometimes get versions of this throw to work in sparring, I never get them up the way I was taught in Aikido (which is the case for most of the stuff I learned in Aikido, for that matter). I never specifically try to set up this throw, but rather "happen upon it" as a result of getting to my opponent's side from a clinch. Often, if I perform a Greco-Roman arm-drag from the clinch, it puts me in position to do a variation of this throw (usually with a strike first to unbalance).

Take care and train hard,
Jim McRae
