Re: Irimi Nage

I watched the clip and as always Christian Tissier performance is beautiful and not so practical!
Actually there were 2 forms and the uke is so great

as my own experience I think the finishing of Irimi-nage is too important, it's not good to finish the Irimi-nage with help of uke.
the point in any type of Irimi-nage is to hold back of the uke's neck and push the neck forward while simultaneously with other hand elbow (arm) push the uke's head upward (uke's jaw should be on the tori's arm) and it starts moving a small half circle (upward force to downward).

in other word, think you have a bowl of soup in your hand (the hand that makes the finishing cut) and you want to pour the soup out and make the bowl upside down without turning your wrist joint and just by using your shoulder (by turning your arm around a tiny circle).
