These are called katate waza, I think. I remember they are threads about it on this forum. I can't help you more :/.

I notice that there is no mention in the other thread about katate-tsuki. This is a very important katate cut. It is also difficult given the small size of the target.
If you are going to perform tsuki against jodan - a one handed tsuki is likely to be more successful than a two handed tsuki.
