Aikikai’s version of Katatekosotori Kokyunage!
(Crosshand grab, one breath throw)

Although I can’t find the exact Aikikai name for it, this is a very interesting strike, and can be very useful for randori as it’s a fast, simple throw. Highly encourage you get the timing of the step-bar down for an effective throw!

This was part of the Seminar I attended last week. Thank you to the International Aikido Federation for setting that up! Thank you Sensei Maks and Sophie for the demonstration!
