Shomen ate
Many people in enbu can use this technique frequently but in one-against-one practice it is not often seen. Some people dislike this technique because it is done in a straight line. However, it is seen when used as a quick response against multiple attackers.
Aikido movements are not just circular but for those people who insist on using circular movements, a straight line must also be thought of as a part of a huge circle.

Aigamae ate
Aigamae ate is the simplest example of irimi nage. In irimi nage, the whole arm is used on uke's body pushing his chin upwards to throw him. However, aigamae ate is much faster. |

Gyakugamae ate
This is when, for example, you are standing with your left foot forward and your left hand is grasped. You step forward with your left foot and throw using your left hand. This is the same as 'koho irimi nage'. If the names of techniques are decided by the presence of irimi (entering) then shomen ate, aigamae ate, etc. would all be called 'irimi nage'. This technique is named objectively from the relative positions of the two people at the time of the attack, the stances, etc.
