17 – Hikiotoshi (pull-drop throw)

Hikiotoshi is the final of the 17 basic techniques of Tomiki Aikido. It also requires spectacular jumping and falling skills by Uke, the person it is being done to.

15 – Maeotoshi (arm-bar throw)

The Maeotoshi aikido throw actually begins as an arm bar. Pressure is applied to Uke’s elbow joint, so Uke does a forward roll to prevent his arm being broken.

12 – Kotegaeshi (outer wrist throw)

The Kotegaeshi wrist throw can be a simple throw for a beginner to learn. However, it takes a skilled partner to do the fall from this throw, since they must leap over their own arm before it breaks.

11 – Kotehineri (wrist push-down throw)

Kotehineri is a Shodokan Aikido wrist wind-up and arm push-down technique that puts Uke face-down on the ground where he can be held safely with a wrist lock.
