There was a fair bit of inconsistency in the English names given for throws. For example, judo's tai otoshi was translated as a "judo leg block", while judo's ouchi gari was translated literally as "major inner reaping" instead of the more commonly used "inside trip".

I've tried making the English translations somewhat more consistent with judo terminology; certainly that is better than a mix of judo and other terminology. If someone has a problem with that, feel free to edit it back.

[edit] Tenchi Nage

That's a very long and unwieldy list there; might be best to scrap it. At any rate, I've removed tenchinage...the classical version I'm thinking of (see aikido page) does not involve tori going down. Actually, in typical aikido style, tori doesn't even lean or tilt very much from a straight posture. --GenkiNeko 16:11, 21 June 2007 (UTC)
