This was never meant to be a perfect presentation. Rather a memory of part of how we trained.
The first night in 1980 I visited Tristan Sutrisno I
watched his students perform them with 8 people performing the attacker drills
surrounding the defender.
After watching them for about 15 minutes Tris asked
me if I wanted to give it a try so I did so. He was amazed that I could do all
8 of them

The original
version ended with a projection of the opponent, years later when Tris saw our
kids demoing this for him, he explained how he changed the technique to this
version, a different takedown. He did not explain why but I thing it was because
the partners were throwing themselves into the projection (faking the
projection) and he changed it so they would actually perform the technique.

version of Aikido 12 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r8TP5LEQxqg
Years later at a
clinic in our school I saw Tris use a similar entry for his Aikido 12 when he
was showing these takedowns. It is at 51 seconds. I realized this was how he entered Aikido 12 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BwVtKKd9L6c
Which originally
was a vault up to the outside of the strike, placing both legs across the neck,
in front and in back, then rotating the body over to effect the take down.
The entry
mechanism after stepping to the outside is placing your hand on their shoulder
and borrowing their forward momentum to leap up to begin the leg sizzors.
I only saw the
entire drill that one day, and while I taught the first 8 to brown belts and 9
and 10 to black belts.
I never attempted
the technique as it was beyond my capabilities.
About 5 years later Tris used me for a demonstration
for his black belt students. I attacker but he did not do me, instead I
discovered that when my punch completed he was standing on my shoulders. Then
he jumped off in front of me, flipped a light side kick to my face and landed
softly with a grin on his face.
I had no idea how he got there, so I turned to his
students and queried ‘what did he do”. They did not see because they were not
looking for it and had dumb struck looks on their faces.
Of course as a point of honor I could not ask how he
did it.
I would be many years later before I realized he
just did no. 12 and instead of the scissors takedown, instead jumped on my
shoulders as I was a stable platform.
