🔖 Technique Notes
Throwing technique rooted in Aikidō, specifically within the family of kokyū-nage (breath-power throws).
The technique is applied against a front two-hand shoulder grab (mae ryō kata dori). By coordinating breath, posture, and timing (kokyū), the practitioner off-balances the attacker and adds a sweeping action to complete the throw. Rather than relying on strength, it emphasizes connection, flow, and whole-body movement
