- Kote Gaeshi should involve twisting the hand towards the elbow of the
- attacker, while turning your own body out of the line of attack. The
- combination of your movement, his movement and the fact that you are
- extending his wrist in a direction that it *normally* bends, causes
- your partner (attacker) to loose his balance and be thrown. Julian
