Kihon Kata
Sequence 8:
|
Tori grabs uke on the chest or throat with his left hand and prepares to strike with his right. |
||
|
The first priority is to blindside tori. Uke lifts his right arm up and puts his left hand against toris right hand. |
||
|
Uke moves 90 degrees, using his body twist and gross right arm motion to do the blindsiding. This enables the left hand to grab tori's right and apply a lock; the set up to the grab means there is no struggle fiddling to get a grab and lock. |
||
|
The lock is applied as the left gedan barai sweeps down, taking tori in a direction that unbalances him with minimum resistance. | ||
|
Uke drops his weight down on tori's kidneys, spine, etc. |
