Is this the kokyu ho you are looking for?

This is most likely what I would picture if someone said kokyu ho. I personally don't think this is a very good execution of the technique, but it was the first that came up on YouTube.

This technique has a few names.

I come from an Iwama background and I would call it suwari waza ryote dori kokyu ho, but kokyu nage and kokyu dosa are also common terms.

One problem is that kokyu nage can be the name of a variety of techniques that don't look similar at all.

Yeah. That's got to be it.

I found the same video (well, the remix ) by adding zagi to the search.

Any recommended ones?

Go to class with a set of questions - the things you are struggling with or need clarification on. You teacher should appreciate the fact that you are rtrying to 'get it'.

Keep the pool of techniques you are working on small - work on the quality of those techniques.

The shadow training worked for me, I think it can be useful. Try the shadow ukemi as well.
