How to: Katatekosotori Kokyunage!
(Cross-hand-grab One-breath Throw)

Continuing from the last technique we posted, this is another crosshand grab, but with a different approach - kokyunage. This technique gets its name from being able to be performed quickly, in one breath.

This technique will typically appear on lower-kyu, if not 7th Kyu testing, so it’s important that all aikidokas know how to execute this technique.

Thanks to Sensei Maksim and Sophie for the demonstration!
