O-soto-otoshi (major outer drop)
A hard throw which reaps away both of an attacker’s legs, dropping him or her on the back. It can be used against both a kick and a punch.
Full list
Here is a list of most of the techniques you'll need to know for Jitsu and at what level you'll meet them. The list is not completely definitive because modern Judo is creating many more throws, some of which Jitsuka are adapting for their own use.
Ashi | Gaeshi | Gake | Gari | Goshi | Guruma | Maki-komi | Miscellaneous | Nage | Otoshi

Hi, where do you get your throw classifications from. I see names that I recognise and the nage no kata looks throw for throw the same as that of Judo, but many of the techniques appear to be different.For example your videos of Osoto otoshi appear to be what I would know as Osoto gari. Gari being to reap. Otoshi would be to drop and is usually seen with the action foot placed on the ground. Is there a global governing body for Jitsu? Or a Japanese umbrella organisation that issues rank/ guidance?

The nage no kata remains the same as in judo since that's the original "guidance book". But the throw entries are different, typically from a punch, so the throws themselves are typically modified either slightly or a lot (although sometimes not at all). And various instructors teach the throws slightly differently, according to preference, tradition and more. I've seen upwards of four different ashi gurumas for example.
There's the British Jiu Jitsu Association to which all Jiu Jitsu styles in the UK affiliate (that I know of), but each style teaches the throws differently and with its own variations. The World Jiu Jitsu Federation, for example, straightens legs midway through throws when we keep ours bent - but that's a minor difference.
