Re: Irimi nage- Tenkan to throw?

Hi Joe,

Quote:
It is not very natural movement to take a hunched over uke by the neck and scruff of the neck (or hip, depending on your style) and force uke backward. [Nage forcing against uke that way leaves nage vulnerable.
I agree with this. My issue would be that once you get to this place you are no longer in iriminage-land. Keep the connection so that this cannot happen (or happens remarkably less often).
