Neither of these is exactly the way we practice, but you can see in both instances, the teacher makes a cutting motion towards uke to get them off balance and does not grab until the end (this is less apparent with Tissier's ura, but you get the idea).

Our training is very specific when we actually grab use's hand...to make a vast generalization, we never reach to grab for a part of uke - we wait until momentum caries it to our center. For example: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/aoe72ldbk...l-M2U01245.MPG
Ichi Go, Ichi Ei!
