Thank you Hanshi. Chris and I were watching this and had a question. We noticed that you bring the hand down to off-balance the tori, then when you circle the hand around you give them their space back, letting them stand back up. Can you explain the reason for that? Thank you!

It sure is one of the hardest. Yet so fundamental.
Arigato, such a great tip. Smooth steady motion, connect the dots. I feel like this is important not only for testing, but martially as well. Something to work on.

Love the no-block variation where he just drops!

It seems there is a 1 minute time limit.

We didn’t do any retakes. I made some edits to remove dead time, or where the action went off screen. I’ll upload another 1/3 of the board next week.

I've been doing this lock for 25 years, but the little step out that you take once the lock is secure, which hangs the person's weight on the lock, was an eye-opener and makes a huge difference in the technique's effectiveness. Thank you for your attention to detail and always striving for excellence.
