This is simply my perspective on judo techniques (and martial arts techniques in general) and how people may define or name them differently. I don't think that arguing about what exactly you call a technique matters as long as you're clear about what it is *you* mean. Some practitioners are more rigid about this; others are more relaxed. You'll find out where you fall eventually, and that's totally fine!
Major thanks to Shintaro Higashi of the Kokushi Budo Institute in New York, NY. His commentary in a couple of his videos prompted this video of my own, and I greatly respect his overall approach to teaching and learning these techniques. Please give his channel a look and consider subscribing for some of the best judo content you'll find anywhere.
