Ude Kime Nage is an Aikido exercise that uses an elbow lock to throw an opponent. Ude Kime Nage is also known as an Aikido arm extension throw. In Japanese martial arts, throws are often referred to as Nage or Nage-Waza.

In this Aikido technique, a student will pull their training partner (uke) off-balance, push up under the uke’s elbow and then use their forward motion to throw the uke.
