In many styles "kokyunage" doesn't really have a firm meaning like, say "shihonage". It's a grab bag of techniques.
I've been given different translations, but I'm convinced that it really means "Overloaded Name To Confuse Student"
.
Some are pretty fluffy. Some are very practical. Saito Sensei's
Takemusu Aikido Volume Four shows many kokyunage of a practical nature.
