Kote-gaeshi Sit-N-Spin
Cameron Siemens, Uke; Photography & Video by Rob Goodwill This is a fun little drill. It relies heavily on timing and use of center. Begin holding kote-gaeshi.

Uke sits down. Just as his buttocks comes into contact with the mat...

... step back. Use the power of your center rather than arm strength to make uke do a neat little spin. You should be able to achieve a full spin and flip onto the stomach.
