Re: Tenchinage

I agree with most of the posts as well. Poor posture. Even when he demonstrated about his right hand moving up towards uke's face, notice that nage's body still leaned over to the left. Poor posture. Nage also doesn't move his feet to help keep him in good posture. If the uke had been say, 6' 5", this technique would not have worked. Nage is using too much power with his left hand. If your going to do this technique using two hands, then both hands should be equally involved.
