Do you know a way to safely handcuff someone from Shinhonage? My sensei's sensei always had a reward to anyone who can figure a way to do it.
Its fairly simple. There are two ways to execute the technique, one as "open" (uke must breakfall)where the throw could result in a dislocated elbow and the other is "closed" (uke does a safe backroll) where the throw is made more to the back, thus protecting uke.

Take the "open" version of the technique, forget the throwing aspect and turn it into a control keeping uke off balance. Its is uke's own resistance to falling that makes this a usefull control.
