Receiving punches with your elbows down and your hands up lightly touching the uke's arm with your elbow. I'm not sure about the weight distribution on the feet but I think it was more forward.
Uke: Tsuki to face.
Tori: Move to the inside with ichimonji no kamae and receive with your forward arm/elbow. Holding onto the arm shift forward along your line taking the uke's balance and doing yoko aruki with your rear foot stepping behind your front instead of the usual way of stepping in front. Three variations were done from here. 1) Apply ganseki nage as you drop to your rear knee. 2) Apply musha dori. 3) After moving forward move back in the opposite direction moving the uke's arm up and shoulder down so that the uke twists and the uke's back is towards you.
We did an exercise on taking the uke's balance using the movements in the technique above. After the yoko aruki you place the uke's hand on your knee to keep him from falling.
Koku
The difference here was when the kick comes you twist to avoid it and spring right back to catch the foot/leg with your knee/foot. You have to be quick with this movement.
Renyo
I don't remember anything being different about this kata except more emphasis was put on using your elbow to lock the uke's arm and control him.
