back during sophmore year when I was on the wrestling team I used to Aikido during practice on a semi regular basis. I couldn't use it so much in real matches because techniks like sankyo and yonkyo being unsafe as they are, are not alowed. I would use those techniks when someone was riding me from behind and trying to each across my chest to grab my opposite shoulder so that they could shove me onto my stomach. what I did was pulled one leg up under me so that I ws on one knee then grabbed there wrist with both hands and apply either sankyo and yonkyo. then I would extend there wrist out in front of me and down while at the same time scooting out from under them to the opposite side from the wrist that I grabbed thus placing them in a vonerable position on the mat in front of me.
Did you follow that?
and no I don't know what you mean by front foot or back foot theory. please elaborate
