AIKIDO TECHNICAL TIPS
SHOMENUCHI KAITENAGE, Ura - Var. 1, Angle 2

The angle of this graphic shows the tenkan used to enter the attack. 

Just as in ikkyo-ura, the attack is handled by attacking the assailant's arm on the down swing of shomen. You can see the nage uses tenkan footwork and takes the
movement of the arm and uses redirection. The tenkan
movement facilitates further when the nage uses a
complete 360 degree turn to disable the balance of her
attacker.
