Kiri kaeshi nage
Gassho!
I have problems with executing Kiri kaeshi nage, namely that the twisting movement to the attacker's wrist seems to often prompt them to turn backwards instead of leaning over to the front. Not sure how to remedy that, though raising their hand quite high sometimes helps.
When thinking about this I also encountered the question of which 'line' this technique might fall under: Usually we count for ways of manipulating the wrist: gyaku gote line, S-line or -shape (also often called maki), C-line or -shape (also often called dori) and okuri gote line. None of these seem to apply with Kiri kaeshi nage …!or maybe one does and that actually explains my trouble with the technique?
