Spiral stairs...Ushiro ryote dori ikkyo

Ushiro ryote dori (grabs both wrists from behind Tori) ikkyo: Tori steps to the side and Uke grabs both wrists from Tori's back. A very important step, a step to the side first for Tori while bringing Uke's arm and spins under Uke (this is very difficult to put words on this part, watching videos give you better idea...). To apply ikkyo (^^), Tori turns and brings uke's arm vertically (I often have the tendancy to bring down the arm but if you lower Uke's arm, Uke goes directly up...)
Then... nikkyo, sankyo... follow!
This technique (ura or omote) required dynamic steps and it is really nice to do in order to relax arms!
