Can someone please tell me the name of the Aikido technique where the palm heel is driven through the chin to take someone down?

[Aikidopoi]

@rocking78 The exact technical details vary even between different Senseis in the same organization. According to the way you were taught, obviously this is wrong. But they'd most likely say the same about the way you perform Tenchi Nage.

[rocking78]

hook and sweep at uke's leg is completely uncorrect. Posture of the body is much to bended forward, moreover, the upper arm should be kept extended even before entering for nage, and it shall not bend backwards: this allows uke to enter in tori's balance. Very low level performance, sorry.

Very good video, thanks !

No. Tenchi nage uses the lower arm in the way ouchi gari uses Uke's back leg. Tai sabaki is used to pull the center of Uke's arms away from his hara, and then Nage rotates Uke by his arms, transferring torsion to the triangle of his base. Hooking or sweeping Uke's leg is not part of the physics of the technique. If you can't do it without using Uke's leg, you don't understand it.

Once you're able to make it work, the tenchi nage is an exceptionally powerful and direct way to land someone using his own 'ki', or energy.

The ryote dori itself may not seem a 'real' grab, but it's meant to simulate someone wanting to knee you in the stomach, or trying to throw you away by pushing with his hands on your shoulders or on your chest. Letting him grab your wrists as he walks/runs against you leaves you in complete control of your balance - and able to play with his one... ;D

[Awlo81]

Not exactly. The beginning of this technique is basically as you said, but it works differently than a simple clip.

The tenchi nage is called "the sky and earth throw" because it works on the combination of both arms: the upper arm (which is clearly visible) pushes forward, while the lower one (which is the one that perhaps you haven't seen) pushes down (or pulls back).

Moreover, look at the legs of the tori: as he concentrates on the throw, he steps behind the uke and rotates his hips.

Ah I see the opponent is grabbing your wrists in an attempt to reduce your attacking structure. You move away causing them to believe they have a hold of you then you use a move similar to judo called ouchi gari ( big outside clip)
