tekagami (Hakko Ryu), the idea that you can throw someone with nothing more than pressure on their wrist is pretty badass

I prefer sweeps. I like good old-fashioned Deashi Harai.

My favorite throw would be either Sode Tsurikomi Goshi or Koshi Nage.

I really enjoy sutemi (sacrifice) throws. I've always admired the Yoseikan Aikido guys for their awesome sutemi nage skills. I also think these are some of the hardest to pull off...

I have to say O soto gari is one of the easiest for me to pull off but I really like tai otoshi even though it's hard for me to pull off.

Osoto gari is my favorite. It can be a show stopper.:D Besides letting them hit the ground hard. If they grab and try to pull you down with them, a knee into the ribs, knee into the face and a punch is also possible, besides all of the different joint locks.

Tai-o-toshi is my favorite, and I hate Koshinage( I'm tall and have to bend my knees to much to get under my oppenant).

Taiotoshi is my favorite.

I really don't have a technique I wouldn't do. I just flow with whomever I'm fighting. Although, my least favorite would be tomoenage (and yoko).

If you miss, you're on your back. Which, regardless of your newaza skill is a horrible place to be IMHO.

At least other sacrifice throws you go to your side, and are able to roll up onto the person if the throw isn't perfect.

Just my personal opinion. Others will vary. I roll with a Sandan routinely at my club, and he likes yoko-tomoenage.

You fight how you train. I don't want to get in the habit of lying down for anyone.
