The thrower (nage) is a well-known aikido teacher named Mitsugi Saotome. The person taking the fall (uke) is named David Hurley. This photo was probably taken around 1980.
Wow, that's very kind of you! I'm not shooting digital, so it's film to prints to scanner to upload--a longer process than I like. But hope to have a few more up soon.

Very good shot. I like the motion, blurred feet and hands....nicely done!
