Re: Sutemi technique

I was playing with an Aikikai student in Oregon; she had just thrown me, and I was lying on my back still holding her arm. I pulled hard--she must have been off balance--and she took a forward roll over me, seizing my arm in the process, and used the momentum of coming up off the mat to flip me over and pin me.

I've always admired this technique, but never found out how she did it. Is that similar to what's being discussed here?
