I was taught this move recently at a Jiu Jitsu seminar. It was hard to resist, I'm impressed.

[themetalicarus]

Probably the clearest video I've seen on this so far!

[spaceman]

excellent video sensei, and I agree with others in that I really love the way that you explain the technique always breaking it down into discrete step by step snap shots. I will continue to use your videos to correct my techniques.

I have difficult with shiho nage because i'm normally taller than the uke. See you doing this technique help me a lot because i imagined that i'd have to down below the uke's arm. I've never saw a video that demontrate shiho nage with the nage taller than uke. Thanks for this video sensei!

[softwhere]

[moimoi]

I hate being uke for this technique. I know you don't follow Aikido anymore but DANG. This is such a difficult technique to take ukemi for.

[hossein]

Dear Sensei,   could you please show us the randori techniques. at the point of contact to throw. when the uke reaches nage and nage grabs with both hands and turn and throw. Thank you.

[bluenarrowsky]

Sensei. Have troubles going yonkyo. Possible for a tutorial video on that

[funnybunnystecher]

Please watch Stanley Pranins video blog for shiho nage !
There is an atemi and a arm lock at the beginning! Your technique is easy to counter!
Seems to me you don´t need (or want) any martial elements in your aikido - ??? very dancing!

[funnybunnystecher]

??? Easy introduction for beginners means correct kihon waza in my opinion.
Always tought as a basic technique :)
