This is an example of atemi used when the partner resists during irimi-nage. Atemi is often translated as “striking vital points,” and refers to techniques that strike, hit, or kick the opponent’s vulnerable points. In the video, I used the word “tricks(?)” to match the Shorts format, but the purpose is not simply to force the technique through or to injure the opponent’s body. The purpose is to disrupt the opponent’s structure and center, and to restore the flow of the waza.
