[Source:] Isshin-ryu/jujitsu Black-belt

[Rating:] Basic to Moderate

Part-1 Attacker: Punches

• Step into a side-stance.
• Trap or intercept the punch and pull the attacker forward breaking their balance.

Part-2 Defender: Sweeps the lead leg (Advancing Foot Sweep)

• Sweep the back of their heel causing them to elongate their stance. Use the momentum of their punch to destabilize their foundation.
• Hammer-fist strike to the face or solar-plexus whichever target is presented.

Part-3 Hammer-fist Blow

• Hammer-fist strike to the face or solar-plexus whichever target is presented.

Part-4 Defender: Neck Crank

• Press one hand into the chin.
• Grasp the back of the attacker’s head by the hair.
• Quickly twist the attacker’s neck.

Part-4 Defender: Alternate Techniques

Note: Not everything goes as planned. The way the attacker falls will determine your final blow.

Note:  If he does not drop low enough spear-finger strike the throat.

• Spear finger to the throat.

Note: Strike is delivered palm upwards, so the fingers are not hyper extended when the opponent drops his/her chin in a reflex effort to protect the throat.

• Palm-heel strike the temple or chin.

Note: If you cannot grasp the hair or chin drive a palm-heel into the side of the attacker’s jaw.
