[2.1.9] Seiunchin Section-2 Kaishaku: Counter to Reach for a Lapel Grab

[Source:] Goju-ryu Black-belt

[Rating:] Moderate

Information:

This is a version from another style. In that style the stance is on an angle and not straight. This angle changes the bunkai slightly.

Part-1 Attacker: Reaches for Lapels

Part-2 Defender: Wedge Blocks

• Drive your arms between the attackers.
• Rotate the hands over and press downward on the attacker’s forearms.

Part-3 Defender: Moves Behind Attacker

• Grasp the attacker’s arm and spin behind them.

Note: This is not a Duck-Under technique. You pull yourself around the attacker on the outside.

• From behind grasp the attacker’s chin.
• Place your free hand against the attacker’s obi (belt).
• Twist the attacker’s chin and push against the opponent’s belt to break their balance.
• Drop the attacker to the tatami (ground).
