[15.2.0] Sunsu Section-15 Kaishaku: Counter to a Punch
[Source:] [AOKK Isshin-Ryu Black Belt]
[Rating:] Basic
Part-1 Attacker: Attacker Punches
Part-2 Defender: Elbow Strikes
- Parry block and the punch to the outside your body centerline
- Grasp the assailant’s obi, and pull the assailant’s hips forward
- Drive the point of the elbow into the solar plexus or throat
- Horizontal elbow strike right
- Horizontal elbow strike left
Information: Grabbing the obi (belt) was a common self-defense practice in the past. It makes breaking someone’s balance easy. It can also damage the lower back, but mostly it controls the opponent’s movement.
Part-3 Defender: Obi-otoshi [Suffix Technique]
- Grasp the assailant’s obi and pull the assailant’s hips forward.
- Step between his/her legs and sweep one leg while pushing the attacker backwards and to the ground.
Note: After both elbows the attacker will be more compliant and easier to throw.
