Big circle this time. When doing the soto tenkan, make a big circle with your arm to keep Uke extended. When you cease your tenkan before Uke has come all the way around, go beside Uke and make sure to protect your groin, then do a light nikyo on Uke. The goal is to cause him to lower his own center like you would want to do for any other kotegaeshi, as well as for him to let go of one hand to brace the ground or tap. As he is lowering himself, do an irimi tenkan toward his front shikaku and apply kotegaeshi pressure. No muscles should be used in nikyo, says Kubo Sensei.
