In the below video Morihiro Saito Sensei demonstrates the Aikido technique Munadori hiji nage.

A key feature of the technique is that the projection involves pressure being placed on the uke’s elbow.  The choice for the uke is to roll out or risk serious injury due to hyper extension of the elbow joint.  For this reason it needs to practised carefully and with due regard for safety by both the nage and uke.

Depending on the school, the technique may also be referred to as Munadori kokyu nage or Munadori juji nage.
