🔖 Technique Notes

Uke grips Tori’s wrist in Ai Hanmi Katate Dōri. Tori enters to the inside, seizes Uke’s elbow with his free hand, and cuts forward, taking control of Uke’s wrist with the hand that was previously grabbed to apply Ikkyō Omote.
Tori then releases the elbow. As Uke begins to rise, Tori steps forward twice, positioning himself in front of Uke. He then performs a Tenkan followed by an Enka pivot, dropping his rear knee to the floor. As he drops, Tori uses the rotational footwork and Uke’s forward momentum to throw Uke—not in the direction of Uke’s movement (opposite the Ikkyō cut), but in the same direction as the Ikkyō cut.
Control is maintained on the ground, where Uke is pinned in Ude Garami in the Kimura configuration, rather than the Americana.
