I have a question about how to hold Uke's wrist in Shiho-nage. What position do the thumbs ago? I think you are supposed to torque the wrist a little before pivoting to complete the throw. Any help would be appreciated.
As for torquing the wrist, if you're talking about the initial entry, when you have uke's elbow pointing away from you, before you bring it around your head, yes, you should torque it a little to lighten them up and further take their balance.
