Yesterday we did koshinage in class and it is a good looking technique, but I have one big issue with being uke and how to do the ukemi. If you have not heard me before I can tell you again that the mats here in Japan tend to be quite hard. How can I protect myself as uke in this technique? The obvious would of course be to not fall at all and stop the technique on the back of nage, but this does not enable us to practice the technique to the end.
The fall kind of looks like a high fall, but it also seems to me that uke is turning a bit before landing. Have a look at the video.
