Yeah, after your reply, I understood that. I've experienced that, but never even thought about it when video taping. And after reviewing the vid, I can see where it could look like that. It didn't happen, though.

For the vid, Brian was trying to either drop me in a hole out from my pinky toe or the triangular point behind my feet. Dunno if you can see that from the vid.

I Can see that. My impression of Nage is that he is focusing on you, not on his center or movements,therefore giving you top dog position, rather than moving on a line to the point where he should go; with or without your approval.
He isn't moving concisely/independently within principles and lines.

In couch psychology jargon;" it's appears a little co-dependent".
