[8.3.2] Section-8 Kaishaku: Counter to Grasp of Snap Punch

[Source:] Jujitsu Black-belt] [Series Variation]

[Rating:] Basic

Comment: This is not my favorite bunkai, but it shows how the same technique can be interpreted differently.

Part-1 Attacker: Grabs Vertical Snap Punch

Part-2 Defender: Forearm Elbow Strike (Hyperextension)

• Drop your center of gravity by stepping into a Kiba dachi (Horse Stance).
• Grasp the back of the attacker’s wrist and straighten his/her arm.
• Roll the arm until the attacker’s elbow is point sideways.
• Drive your forearm into their triceps muscle above the elbow joint to hyper extend the joint.
• Pull the attacker’s arm forwards and down to break his/her balance.
• Turn and throw the attacker with Tai-otoshi.

Note: The elbow strike is a distraction, so you can break the opponent’s balance for the throw.
