Here is a fascinating collection of techniques which start from katate-ryotedori (morotedori). Most of his ki-no-nagare waza start with sen-no-sen sotomawari. At [3:39] he employs uchimawari do shihonage omote (I hadn’t seen anyone do this before). His zanshin after a pin is very focused. Also, when he does iriminage at [4:20] his Uke starts to turn as if to escape. Saito Sensei has a nice surprise against that, and now I am not afraid to practice that myself. See below for the still.

His kotegaeshi at [4:34] looks a little suspect, I might put that out of my mind for the time being. However, he actually does koshinage while uke is grabbing with both hands – I was led to believe that was impossible. Not only is that not impossible, Saito demonstrates five variations of this koshinage all while Uke is still holding on! See below for the first two.
