Here's also a video of Christian Tissier doing Ikkyo from Morote tori, which we don't usually do in class so it was interesting to see it executed. What is interesting is that you would instinctively want to push using your right hand but you really just need your left hand to do all the work!
Starts off a kokyuho but turns into ikkyo.

Iriminage
Here's a video of Mitsuteru Ueshiba doing Iriminage. I think it is interesting when he brings uke around, he is also getting low. I am not sure if it's because he is short and it helps to give him more leverage?

I also like how Mary Heiny shows in this video the importance of where you are in relation to your uke (i.e. your center should stay with your uke's center). It may seem like an obvious thing but the way she demonstrated it was a good visualization of how it doesn't work when you are too close or too far.
