Judo throw or not?

You're right. I missed the lack of an armlock in the first video.

I may play around with this a bit. My standby from this position is to enter for sumi gaeshi -- but my dojo mates usually know its coming.

It also puts you into a good position to try and finish with Ude Hishigi Te Gatame as in the Kodokan Ne Waza tapes...

I'm gonna have to try that ... looks like a good transition into newaza.
