Editors Note: This is the third in an eight part series discussing past seminars at our school. The videos can be found in our multimedia archive. The series can be found under the video tag.
This is a cool technique. Here, Bernath Sensei is cutting uke into kokyu-nage, from shomen. What’s interesting is the throw—Sensei drops to one knee, forcing uke into breakfall. Chris Rozette, one of our early instructors, is uke.
Man, this next video is great. I can’t help but smile when I watch it. If I were to classify it, I’d call it a study in kokyu-nage, with a koshi- and a dynamite shiho-nage added to the mix. (After Neil takes a tumble following an atemi from Sensei.) For me, the highlight is that spectacular irimi-nage. Enjoy!
Next up…more Bernath Sensei, and then Donovan Waite Sensei. Stay tuned!
