In the below video Morihiro Saito Sensei demonstrates the omote and ura versions of the Aikido technique Katatedori shiho nage.  The demonstrations are given from a static same side hand grab.  Dynamic under movement applications of the technique are practised at higher levels.

The term “shiho nage” in Aikido means “4 corners throw”. Practise of shiho nage techniques is common to all Aikido schools.

While Katatedori shiho nage is typically considered a basic foundation technique and in many schools forms part of the syllabus for junior grading assessment, in substance it is a deceptively difficult technique to learn.
