If uke doesn't give an appropriate attack, how can nage respond with the technique called for? And if uke doesn't give any energy into the attack, how can nage respond to a non-attack? (other than possibly giving a big atemi, but that's another thread) There is a time to pull (irimi) and a time to push (tenkan) and uke should be doing something appropriate and continuously to allow the technique to happen. Otherwise, a different technique is called for.
I'm sure others have said it, but uke training is just as important as nage training. In fact, it would be nice if people were tested on receiving AND giving the technique. What good is knowing a technique if you don't know how to take it too?
