Ofc credit will always go where it is due. I just don't want to be re-inventing the wheel here, so to speak. Also knowing what judo technique this relates to will help us better understand the roux whip.

uki otoshi


seoi otoshi


Looking at the gifs above i would say that the roux whip uses the grip and throwing mechanics of the seoi otoshi, while implementing the foot placement of the uke otoshi.

Mr Rouxster and Mr Iskenos do you concur?
