Re: kubi nage
The head throw? Yea, we've come across it but I think it's seldom practiced since it can be quite dangerous if the students don't know what they're doing.

Re: kubi nage
The head throw is dangerous and very effective for that reason. The punch "throw" before that was silly in that nobody I know would leave a straight arm out there after throwing a punch. I call that the "night of the living dead uke practice."

I have seen it, in particular at the AKI place in Yokohama. It is not part the regular schedule in my dojo; occasionally they something like that, but in a very mellowed down version.
I havent heard a particular name for it; what we call kubinage is something else. The name of course makes sense for this too.

Re: kubi nage
I've come across 3 different variations, all of which are called Kubi- nage. 2 involve nage facing the same direction as uke (as in the video). The 3rd is more of a 'head twist' while facing uke. But these have all been in juijitsu or judo settings.

Re: kubi nage
I've always called that kubinage as well. I've heard other terms for it, but can't recall what they are as I don't use them regularly.
The technique a couple after that we call kubishime...but we also use kubishime for an attack. Gotta love those generic names!

Kubishime means strangling, so that is another vague term.

Yes.
"Ushiro katate dori kubi shime" is one of the "regular" attacks in our aikido.
And exactly the same form is also the way of doing irimi nage in tanto dori, jodori, jonage and tachi dori.

I come from an Iwama background... you should see how many things we call kokyu nage.
For instance, all of the above mentioned throws ![Smilie](images/smilies/smile.gif)

Re: kubi nage
Our term for the throw in question has always been Men-nage.
Men=head, nage, (of course) =throw
I have always liked all the various names for techniques...it is interesting to hear all the different variations.
HEY! I know that throw!! ![Smilie](images/smilies/smile.gif)

Play nice, practice hard, but remember, this is a MARTIAL art!

While I don't really come from an Iwama background, I have practiced in Iwama a few times, and I am pretty sure that I have heard the "Head Throw" referred to as kubinage by people in Iwama , but I could be wrong...but I also noticed that there is a whole series of Kokyu nage techniques that vary widely. I believe that Inagaki Sensei likes to cover them all together as a single unit...or at least he was doing it that way one of the times I stayed there.

Re: kubi nage
I'm certainly from an Iwama background and I've always referred to it as kubinage.
Saito shows a couple of them at hombudojo just month after the founders death:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jh8P1N9GKUQ
first around 0:20 and then dissect it at 0:50 and onward.

Quibble: "Men" does not mean head, it means front side or surface.
I have never heard of men-nage, but of course there are all sorts of names floating out there.

Re: kubi nage
Jakob,
Great video of Saito. I'd never seen that footage before. Thanks for posting it.
The throw at 0:20 looks like a kaiten nage to me. The latter ones I remember being called kokyu nage, but they may well be called kubi nage. Those things do change over the years, and of course, memories vary.

Yes, that's true.
But it's kind of interesting, to notice that those names are not random but follow systems.
So there are certain styles or also certain lines of tradition within a style, which use certain names.
You have the wide range from calling "nearly every technique" kokyu nage in ki-aikido (at least the line of Yoshigasaki which is representative here in Germany) to naming the same technique in different ways with every form of attack in koryu yawara.
This is not only about names, but it shows the underlying understanding.
Or you can discuss whether rokyo (Saito Sensei) is a own technique following own principles or whether it is a certain form of nikyo ura (some aikikai teachers). The name isn't just a name, but helps to understand what is done in this waza.
Or see the discussions about ikkajo / ikkyo and kokyu ho / kokyu dosa / aiki age in this forum.
And so on.
Like always in life the names and the nomenclature, wich shows the system of the techniques, leads to a certain understanding of what is named.
It's not worth to quarrel and struggle but it's worth understanding, I think.
Carsten

Huh,
That means I am interpreting shomenuchi wrong as well then..
( I don't doubt that it is so, just didn't know)
Shomen uchi-uchi=strike, Men= head (I thought) and Sho= front
(In this context)
Strike to the front side of the head
I wonder what the literal translation is?
So, "strike to the front-side" for shomenuchi?
That would explain the confusion on the term for the head throw also.
Thanks!

Yes. "Shoumen" would literally mean "front surface". (And "yokoumen" diagonal surface.) There is no literal "head" in there.
Just to muddle the waters more, if you use a different Kanji, then "men" means cotton...

Re: kubi nage
The primary meaning of men 面 is face and by extension mask (as used in noh or kendo, for example).

Re: kubi nage
[quote=Niall Matthews;264341]In other budo there doesn't seem to be any confusion about what kubi nage is - it's basically all the same technique. It's a throw from a controlling headlock. The judo version here is a slight variation (from tai otoshi with an extended leg); the sambo and BJJ variations are orthodox koshi waza (koshi nage in aikido).

In Yoseikan Budo, kubi nage is the Judo version described here. Basically it's tai otoshi from a headlock.
