Kata Dōri Men Uchi – Koshi Nage from Shihō Nage (Uke’s Arm Extended)
⛩️ 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 Tori’s shoulder in Kata Dōri and strikes Shōmen Uchi. As Tori makes contact with the strike using the held arm, he enters to the inside and pivots, seizing Uke’s arm with both hands. He lowers the arm and then raises it again as in Shihō Nage. When Tori is beside Uke with Uke’s arm raised, he passes beneath it and lowers his hips to position them across Uke’s body. Tori then cuts with Uke’s extended arm in the manner of Shihō Nage, stepping through and using the hip placement to make Uke roll over his hips.
