Kaitenage from a shomenuchi. This is a launching technique, in a matter of words, and is achieved by taking Uke's center and twisting their spine with the rotation of one of their arms across their back. In this form of it Uke comes in with a Shomenuchi which Nage deflects and captures with the initial deflecting hand. After deflecting the blow Uke's energy will continue through, but instead of allowing them to go straight past you you now have their striking arm which can be taken back around them and used as a lever to rotate over their head and contort their spine. This sends Uke into somewhat of a side Ukemi roll. The twisting of their spine prevents them from regaining their center and catching themselves from falling by instead moving their center out and away from their body as you step through them whilst contorting the arm across their back and over their neck. This gives the launch and sends Uke and his energy on his way. This technique was difficult for me because it's very timing dependent, rather than technique involved. You don't want to impede Uke's energy and give them something to resist, instead giving them that sense of opposition and then taking it away to allow them through. These are always more difficult techniques in my opinion.
Sumi-otoshi (Tsumiyotosh) from a Menut-suki strike. As the punch comes in you are blending in to their open side and slide one hand down along their arm past the elbow. Your back arm continues their punch past you whilst the other slides down their arm up to below their shoulder. At this point you redirect their energy by moving through them keeping your arms and energy extended through your point of contact at their upper arm. This results in the creating of a hole of space for them to fall into. They will have no balance and drawing them into this space will result in them going down. The whipping motion that results from drawing in their attack and you Tenkan around with them will draw them into the throw.
