Re: Aiki-Otoshi
You might be going for the legs too soon.
Try to do a koyu nage/sokumen irimi nage from the same attack first. (description below) Use this to unbalace uke, then enter with the hips, then go for the legs, ankles whatever.
Rather than throwing uke by his legs, let him fall over your hip/leg while you control his legs.
It's the same as with koshi nage:if there's too much of a size difference, there's no point in trying to actually throw uke.
Description:
Tori stands in left hanmi.
Uke takes left wrist, goes around back, takes your right wrist.
Tori steps forward with right foot and extends arms forward.
Uke ends up at the fornt right side of tori.
(That what you do for practically every technique.)
Now tori enters with his right foot at the back side of uke, arms extended, right arm at head height, left arm at stomach height.
Et voilą!
