In the below video, S Crane Sensei demonstrates and provides instruction for the Aikido technique hiji nage (elbow throw).  The technique is demonstrated in the context of strike to the nage’s torso (referred to as tsuki or mune tsuki).

The hiji nage techniques are sometimes classified as kokyu nage (breath throws) or juji nage (crossed arm throws) techniques depending on the school.
