[10.2.0] Seisan Section-10 Kaishaku: Counter to a Wrist Grab

[Source:] AOKK Isshin-ryu Black-belt

[Rating:] AOKK Preferred Bunkai

Part-1 Attacker: Holding onto Your Wrist (after the back-knuckle)

Part-2 Defender: Low Blocks to Remove the Attacker’s Grip

• The low block will break the attackers grip by putting pressure on his/her thumb as you rotate counterclockwise. If the attacker maintains the grip, he/she will find himself/herself in a wristlock.                               

Theory: Roll the fist over the attacker’s grasp as you low block. It’s this roll that attacks the aggressor’s thumb and forces them to release their grip. Do not try to pull your arm backwards simply roll it in a circle. Don’t get trapped in liner thinking. A block is not always a block.

• The last technique in this series is a vertical punch to the: throat, nose, solar plexus, collarbone, or the nerve cluster at the end of the collarbone located by the shoulder joint. The nerve cluster in the arm will shut down if the arm is struck correctly. This is a disarming technique. That means the attacker can no longer mount a full attack because something is not working like his arm.
