This one was my favorite so far. I was waiting to see techniques applied with a less compliant uke and without the wrist grab. I study Goju Ryu, but have always admired Judo and Aikido, and enjoy trying what I read about and observe on Aikido blogs.
I am glad you have a preference you like in how the technique is done. It can take uke off his feet, but it is not a requirement of the technique. Fact is this "take uke of his feet" method has some serious holes in execution - namely tori drives power into uke. This works for some, but I personally feel is questionable aikido.
so... which technique was that again?
