SL4.1 Figure-four Shoulder Lock:

Warning: This technique should only be practiced with a qualified AOKK instructor present

Execution:

Attacker grabs lapel.

• Trap uke’s hand and snap punch to the solar plexus. [Loosening-up technique]
• When uke pulls away, grasp his wrist with the hand that delivered the punch.

Note: Your thumb will be pointing downward when you grasp uke’s wrist.

• As he/she pulls backwards, strike the top of uke’s elbow with the inside of your forearm causing it to naturally bend backwards.
• Press your chest against uke’s elbow as it is elevated.
• The arm that facilitated the bending of uke’s elbow should then tie-off the hand grasping uke’s wrist.
• Throw uke with Tai-otoshi (Body Drop).
