Beware of too much 'attack initiation' which often results in just slapping people around with a crap irimi nage.

Points:

1. ukes will tend to move at the same speed as you - take it very slowly, especially at the start.

2. generally uke chooses the technique i.e. the technique you do depend on ukes actions and can't be decided beforehand

3. relax and pace yourself

4. keep on the edge of a group

5. It is more important to move your body than do a technique. If someone stops the attack or there is 'premature detatchment', you can just move away (preferably to their rear or side). Just slipping past somone is also the way to get through a tight fix.
