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.

Great tips, thank you. Soke's English has improved very much since I saw him last.

I have never seen anyone rotate the arm like that for the finish. I really like it. Arigato!

Once you have the elbow secured, could you also pivot and use the arm for a hip throw while maintainign the lock?

Sensei James showed a variation of this many years ago, but never explained it. He used to like to drop breadcrumbs and leave it to us to either figure out or not. And I never did figure this one out! So it was great to see it here.

Nice. I like to trap the push with the other hand to apply a mune osae dori on the fly, so this is a good alternative if I trap with the "wrong" hand.
