[3.3.1] Section-3 Kaishaku: Counter to Lapel Grab

[Source:] Non-AOKK Isshin-ryu Black-belt

[Rating:] Basic

Part-1 Attacker: Single Hand Lapel Grabs

Part-2 Defender: Removes Grasp

• Peel the hand off the lapel by grasping the thumb and pushing backwards.

Part-3 Defender Punches

• Step forward pull the thumb down towards the obi and push the thumb forwards towards the attacker.
• While the attacker is focused on the lock, deliver a vertical snap punch with the other.

Theory: This lock opens up the attacker’s centerline targets.

Note: If someone grasps your lapel, it is to control your movement. Most likely, this is to sucker punch you.
