Yes, I know. It is hard to pronounce and even to remember. The technique is the one where uke grabs your shoulders from behind. So ushiro means behind and ryokatatori means grab with two hands. In practice this technique is done by uke coming from the front and "running around" you to grab your shoulder. It really feels wierd that uke would go for the shoulders when in front of me. One thing that we practiced tho was moving a bit off the line and then uke had to grab the shoulder because everything was gone and uke would be out of balance.
This is a video I found on Youtube that shows the technique:
Why would you go around and grab the shoulders?
