Tenchi Nage from Tohei sensei film clip

This is a clip of Tohei sensei doing a variety of warm ups and techniques for a 1957 documentary. 

The ryote tori part starts at 5:03 and begins with Tenchi Nage almost as a backstretch warm up, without falling and without moving the front foot first, but rather by stepping through with the back foot at 45 degrees, then back to center, then repeat on the other side.

I like this because it allows uke to experience the technique without the transition to the fall, and focus on the feeling of the opening and being taken off balance - which is quite direct! Tohei sensei repeats this for several other techniques as the 8 minute segment continues. 

This reminds me a lot of when we practice at the park near the dojo, when there is a chance to go deeper into the initial parts of a technique without the temptation to move your focus immediately into the fall.
