Unarmed Close-in Attacks by Holding
Stepping forward with the left foot, the attacker grabs both
wrists and attempts a right knee kick to the groin. Defender
avoids the kick by stepping back with the left foot, forces his
right hand against attacker's weak thumb releasing the grip, and
continues his motion into a right knife edge strike to the
temple. Defender then uses the right hand to grab the attacker's
right wrist from the top and twists to the right, and ends with
an armlock and wrist lock forcing the attacker to submit or have
his arm broken.
Using the right hand the attacker grabs the left lapel and
pushes defender back while stepping forward with the right foot.
Defender holds attacker's hand with his left hand as he steps
back with his left foot, pulling attacker off balance, and
strikes attacker's eyes with the back of his right hand. He
immediately grabs the attacker's right wrist from the top with
his right hand, placing his left hand on the attacker's right
elbow and stepping back with the right foot. He ends the attack
by forcing the attacker to the ground with a wrist and elbow
joint lock, controlling his body with his left knee.
As attacker grabs across to the right lapel and pulls
defender forward by stepping back with his left foot, defender
steps forward with the right foot and delivers a right uppercut
to the chin of the attacker. He then grabs the wrist with the
left hand from the top, steps back with the left foot, adds the
right hand, and turns forcing the attacker to be thrown with the
wrist lock.
Attacker approaches from the right rear and grabs the right
arm lifting defender to his toes and attempts to take defender
with him. As they walk, defender delivers a right kick to the
left knee and uses the unbalance position of the defender to
apply the armlock to the right arm forcing submission.
As they are walking forward the attacker grabs collar from
behind, steps back with the left foot, and pulls. Defender turns
and blocks the arm with his left hand and delivers a punch to
the solar plexus with the right hand using the turning motion.
He then applies the
ude gatame armlock, forcing the attacker's elbow down.
Attacker puts his right arm around the defender's neck from
the rear to apply hadaka jime. Defender tucks in his chin and
pulls the arm down from his throat. He then steps forward with
the right foot, turns to the left ducking under the choke,
forcing attacker's arm into the te gatame armlock with his right
hand on the attacker's elbow and left hand grasping the wrist.
Attacker steps forward with his right foot and grasps the
body and arms from behind as in a bear hug. Defender counters by
raising shoulders and arms and simultaneously stomping on
attacker's foot with a forceful downward kick. This causes
attacker to release grip. Defender then turns to the right to
grab the right wrist with his left hand, bringing the right arm
up behind the elbow pushing attacker's arm into a forceful throw
which is applied by continuing the turning motion.
Unarmed Attack at a Distance
Advancing with his right foot attacker attempts to strike the
left side of defender's head with his right hand. Strike is
parried by stepping outside attacker's right foot with the left
and turning to the right pushing the arm down as it misses it's
target. It is countered with a right uppercut to the chin and a
throat grab forcing attacker off balance backwards as defender
applies right osotogari to the attacker's rear.
Attacker attempts a right uppercut that is parried by
defender as he steps back with his left foot. Attacker's arm
motion is redirected by grabbing the wrist with the blocking
right hand. The left hand applies pressure against his elbow
upward as the wrist is pulled down and defender steps forward
with the left foot pushing on the elbow and wrist to throw by
this action.
Attacker steps forward with his left foot and punches the
face with the left fist. The punch is again parried as defender
steps forward with the right foot and a counter attack is made
by a punch to attacker's floating ribs. Defender then applies a
rear choke (hadaka jime) with the right arm forcing submission
or unconsciousness.
Defender parries a right kick by turning the body to the
right and stepping back with the right foot. He then grabs the
foot of attacker's raised leg with both hands, twisting the
ankle, breaking it, and then forcing attacker backward and down.
Walking towards each other, attacker attempts a side kick as
he passes defender, who parries the kick, turns and pulls
attacker down onto his back dropping onto his left knee. While
this technique in the kata looks harmless enough, in actuality,
the defender would leave his right knee in place behind the
attacker so that he falls with his lower back on the knee, which
would no doubt break the attacker's back.
Armed Attack - Knife
Tsukkake - close in thrust
As attacker steps back with his right foot and turns his body
to withdraw knife, which is hidden from defender's view,
defender steps in with the right foot, grabs the left elbow with
the right hand, and blinds attacker with a left backhand to the
eyes. Defender grabs the left wrist and twists it away to raise
the elbow as the right hand applies pressure on the elbow.
Attacker is taken down by application of pressure to the elbow.
Attacker steps forward with the left foot, takes out a dagger
with his right hand then steps forward with his right foot and
attempts a lunge with the knife. Defender steps forward with the
left foot turning to the right and grabs the attacking arm at
the elbow with the left hand. At the same time defender strikes
above the nose with a punch. Defender grabs the right wrist from
below with the right hand, turns and applies an armlock (waki
gatame) to the arm with the knife forcing submission or a broken
elbow.
Attacker steps forward with his left foot, takes out a dagger
with his right hand and attempts a downward stab to the chest as
he steps forward with the right foot. Defender steps back with
his right foot, turns to the right, parries by grabbing the
right wrist from the top with the left hand. Using both hands on
the wrist, defender controls the wrist and arm up into a throw
or takedown (kote gaeshi). He then locks the arm (ude garame)
and takes the knife away and holds it against attacker's throat.
Variations of this technique, force attacker to cut his own
throat while being thrown.
Armed Attack - Stick
Furiage - upswing against a stick
Attacker steps back with his right foot, raises the stick
with the right hand preparing to deliver a blow. As attacker
brings the stick back to strike, defender steps in, blocking the
attacking arm with the left hand, delivering a palm strike to
the chin and throwing attacker backward with right osotogari.
Furioroshi - downswing against a stick
Attacker steps forward with his right foot, raises the stick
with the right hand and attempts to strike the left side of
defender's head. Stick is avoided by a turning action and
stepping back with the right foot. Defender immediately steps in
with a left backfist strike to the bridge of the nose. He then
controls the stick, steps in again with the left foot behind the
attakcer and strikes again below the nose with the knife edge of
his hand forcing the attacker down.
Attacker thrusts stick to abdomen stepping forward with the
left foot. Defender steps forward with the right foot, turns to
the left and parries with the right hand. He then grabs the
stick from the top with the left hand and pulls attacker forward
and steps in to grab the stick between the attacker's hands with
the right hand. The right arm is placed against the back of the
attacker's left elbow applying pressure forwards. Attacker not
wanting to let go of the stick, pulls back and defender steps
forward throwing attacker with his own stick.
Armed Attack - Gun
Shomen zuke - pistol held to abdomen
Attacker steps forward with his right foot and holds gun
against abdomen, says te o age (or hands up), and searches for
wallet with other hand. Defender raises hands slowly, watching
attacker's eyes, and at the key moment, turns to the right
stepping forward with the left foot. Defender grabs the gun with
his left hand, thumb on top, and his wrist with the right hand
from the top, forcing it to the side and up into attacker's
armpit and a release of the weapon. Defender then strikes
attacker with weapon.
Attacker approaches with his left foot. Pistol is held away
from defender towards the side aimed at the stomach and the
defender raises his hands after the command of te o age (or
hands up). As attacker reaches for wallet, defender turns, grabs
the gun from the top with the right hand, forces it to point
away, and with the aid of the other hand, forces gun up and
pulls it away to the right. Attacker's finger is locked into the
trigger guard and is broken off. Defender ends the attack with
an upward strike to the chin of the attacker with the gun.
See the video.
