a few organizing points...

I may or may not add to this. I'll use this list and a few others to prompt instruction and it gives me a mental construct for explaining the principles underlying the techniques. There is nothing comprehensive about this, there is overlap between various movements so the groupings are just the easiest to layout in a class format, most apparent in demonstration and I've had success with the progressions below:

full-body hinge: UE=> uki/sumi-otoshi

medial chain: shiko=> Osoto-gari, uchimata, hane-goshi

fig-8: Bolshoi leg warmup=> Ko-uchi-gari, Ouchi_gari et al

catenary curve: headstand=> Sasae-TKA, yoko-guruma

down-power: 1 handed kb squat=> deep seoi-nage, ukemi/ukimi

hip-stride: kneeling/shiko-walking=> Russian Kata-guruma, Kolga-nage, Seoi-otoshi

shin-box: lunges, Barakov-legwork=> Tani-otoshi, Hirano-Tai-otoshi/ouchi/kouchi

coiling: one-legged hops=> Ouchi-gari, Kosoto-gari

hip extension: TGU, 1/2jigotai=> Sasae TKA, De-Ashi-harai

stumble reflex: POSE startup=> Sasae, Ashi-guruma

pendulum leg: walking kicks, uchi-counter drill=> backstep uchimata, uki-otoshi
