- Hang on a minute!!! Kote Gaeshi is not a wrist technique??!! Sounds
- like you should study some more Japanese!! "Ko" = Little, "Te" =
- Hand, "Gaeshi" = Twist... Japanese call the wrist the "Little Hand",
- or "Kote", so "Kote Gaeshi" means "Wrist Twist". Another name for it
- was Kote Hineri, both Kote's mean wrist!
