Katate Dōri Kubishime – Koshi Nage – Direct Classic Variation
⛩️ 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 from behind in Katate Dōri Kubishime (wrist grab and lapel choke). Tori raises the grabbed arm along his centerline, directing it upward and toward Uke’s opposite side, while simultaneously lifting his free arm beneath Uke’s choking arm. At the same time, Tori lowers his center and tilts his body to one side as he looks toward the side of the raised hands, angling his torso opposite to the direction of his gaze. He then lowers both arms while retreating his hips across Uke’s body, making Uke roll over his hip.
As Uke’s arms become crossed when Tori raises his arms, this may be considered a Sode Tsurikomi Goshi variation; however, the mechanics differ. In this Aikidō variation, Uke is not loaded onto and carried across the hip, but instead floats over it, pivoting over as Tori retreats the hip.
