Iriminage


Explanation:
"Iriminage" is one of techniques in Aikido. I was practicing Aikido several years in the United States some years ago. (The Dojo I was attending was under Akira Tohei Sensei, 7th Dan at that time, at Chicago Dojo.)

And "iriminage" is called "Iriminage" in English. Of course the technique was explained in English: "Enter and throw."

I hope this suffices.

neutral  humbird: I understand many Japanese terms are entered into English speaking world when things specific to Japanese culture is imported. But unless one is well into the profession, English translation would be more helpful to general comprehension.
