[Source:] [Isshin-Ryu Black Belt]

[Rating:] Difficult

Part-1 Attacker: The Attacker has Grabbed with a Double Lapel Grab

Part-2 Defender: Double Elbow Lock with Head Butt and Throw

• Your arms go between the attacker’s arms and your elbows go over the attacker’s arms and wrap your forearms around his/her elbows. [Grapevine]
• Tie off between the attacker’s arms on his/her clothing trapping his/her arms under your armpits and locking the elbows.
• Head butt the bridge of the attacker’s nose. [Kakushite] [Hidden Technique]
• Break the attacker’s balance & knee strike to his/her groin or bladder, or execute a crossover heel kick to the inside of the attacker’s knee [Kakushite] [Hidden Technique]
• Throw the attacker with Tai-otoshi.

Rule: If an attacker grabs you, it is to throw you or control your movement. Controlling your movement means, they’re keeping you in their range of personal combat.
