[2.6.3] Seiunchin Section-2 Bunkai: (Counter to a Double Wrist Grab)

[Source:] AOKK Ishin-ryu Black-Belt

[Rating:] Basic

Note: This wrist escape drill was created by F. Dickson 5^th Dan. It is solid bunkai and teaches tactile response. This is more of a drill than self defense, but if you add a throwing technique to the end of this drill it becomes a solid self defense.

Note: This bunkai also teaches the student the wrist-roll escape.

Part-1 Attacker: Grabs Both Wrists

Part-2 Defender: Wrist Roll Escapes

• Raise both hands with the palms facing you.
• Execute a double wrist-roll or snake hand escape and grasp the attacker’s wrists.
• Pull the attacker’s arms down to your hips.
• Drop your weight by sitting into a horse stance.
• Pull the opponent forward breaking their balance.

Part-3 Attacker: Wrist Roll Escapes

• Raise both hands with the palms facing you.
• Execute a double wrist-roll or snake hand escape and grasp the defender’s wrists.
• Pull the defender’s arms down to your hips.
• Drop your weight by sitting into a horse stance.
• Pull the opponent forward breaking their balance.

Note: This is a drill that teaches the student the wrist-roll escape. It can be practiced by both students.

Important: The Horse-stance is not a fighting stance. It is however, a grappling stance. From this stance you can throw the opponent with uki-waza or tani-otoshi. Modern karate has lost some solid technique when it moved away from throwing and locking technique. It also lost real self-defense.

Note: Dropping into the horse-stance, can also prevent you from being thrown.
