Koshi Nage from Ikkyō Omote
⛩️ 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 wrist in Ai Hanmi Katate Dōri. Tori raises his arm, seizes Uke’s elbow, and steps to the inside, cutting down to execute Ikkyō Omote. As Uke’s arm reaches horizontal and his posture is broken, Tori releases the pressure, allowing Uke to rise. Following Uke’s upward motion, Tori raises Uke’s arm and threads his own arm—the one previously controlling Uke’s elbow—around Uke’s waist as he joins his feet and lowers his center, positioning his hips just beneath Uke’s center. He then lowers Uke’s arm while retreating his hip, guiding Uke to roll over it. This Koshi Nage resembles Jūdō’s Uki Goshi, though Uke is not carried on the hip but floats over it.
