Funakoshi's throws (nage waza)

Some of the Funakoshi's throws I covered in a recent event: 咽押 / Nodo osae (Heian Shodan), 谷落 / Tani otoshi (Heian Godan), 燕返 / Tsubame-gaeshi (Heian Godan).
Particularly in relation to the latter, one of the meanings of the verb 返す / kaesu, i.e., "to retaliate," was analyzed: the final fluent exercise shows precisely the Tsubame-gaeshi throw as a kaeshi-waza against a possible disruption of Tani otoshi.

Very good! But more variations of soe nage than tani otoshi or tsubame gaeshi in my opinion. But good idea to make the second if the first fail.
