[11.2.0] Section-11 Kaishaku: Counter to an Arm Grab

[Source:] Shorin-Ryu Black-belt

Note: Do not overthink this bunkai.

[Rating:] Basic

Part-1 Attacker: Grabs Your Arm

Part-2 Defender: Snake-hand Escapes and Kicks

• Snake-hand escape and grasp their wrist.
• Pull the attacker forward.
• When he/she pulls back, execute a snap kick to the groin. The attacker’s thoughts are on escaping and not on blocking the kick. You can use him for balance

Theory: You need two points of balance to execute this technique. Holding onto the attacker and your rear-foot give you these two points of balance. When your opponent is on one pin, they can be moved or thrown in any direction.

• Maintain control of the attacker’s arm after the escape.
• Pull the attacker forward with chambering hand.
• Punch solar plexus with vertical snap punch.
