Re: Shodan

Anything that can be done off of tsuki can be done from yokomenuchi. That should help broaden your horizons.

As far as a fifth technique goes, well any one of the basic five (ikkyo, nikkyo, etc.) are cricket and maybe even expected. Iriminage is one of my favorites. Kaitenage also works, though it's not something I usually think of which is why I kinda had to fudge it on my last grading (and it probably showed...). You can also do a couple different kokyu-hos or maybe a sumiotoshi if you're feeling flashy, but basics are best so it might be best if you go back to your old testing requirements and pick a technique from there.
