Re: traditional yokomenuchi sankyo
I teach Sankyo as a continuation of Ikkyo, as I do Nikyo, Yonkyo and eventually Gokyo.
I prefer to have my uke face down (or as near damn it) before looking to immobilise. For me, this means I have taken his/her posture and I'm in control.
In so far as the question of this thread is concerned:
Omote:- Making a partial backfoot irimi tenkan, atemi to head. Collecting uke's arm (now essentially in ai-hanmi position) rotating hips and cutting uke down as if for ikkyo, hand change for sankyo once uke is all but prone.
Ura:- Making strong front foot irimi, atemi to head. Collecting uke's arm (allowing for relative body position, this is again essentially ai-hanmi position) making full tenkan cutting uke to the floor. Again hand change once uke is prone.
