Ushiro Ryōte Dōri – Koshi Nage from Jūji Nage
⛩️ Source
This excerpt comes from “Apprendez l’Aikido” (on-screen spelling; likely intended as “Apprenez l’Aïkido”), a 1985 instructional seminar video featuring Christian Tissier (then aged 34), produced and presented by the Italian imprint Aikido e Dintorni, whose banner (www.aikidoedintorni.com) appears repeatedly throughout the footage.
It was most likely filmed during a seminar in Italy and distributed as a small-run VHS production, but the exact filming location, organizing dojo, and original distribution details remain unverified.
🔖 Technique Notes
Uke grabs both of Tori’s wrists from behind in Ushiro Ryōte Dōri. As the grip is applied, Tori immediately raises both arms, passing beneath Uke’s rear arm, and pivots to face him, establishing a 90° angle relative to Uke’s feet. He then crosses Uke’s arms, positioning the rear arm above the lead arm, effectively setting up a Jūji Nage by applying Ikkyō to the rear arm using the lead arm placed at its elbow to enforce the control. Rather than completing a classic Jūji Nage, Tori maintains the crossed-arm structure as he lowers his center and tilts his body to one side while looking toward the side of the raised arms, angling his torso opposite to the direction of his gaze. He then lowers the raised arms while retreating his hips across Uke’s body, making Uke roll over his hip.
