[3.6.0] Seisan Section-3 Bunkai: (Counter to a Wrist Grab)

[Source:] AOKK Isshin-ryu Black-belt

[Rating:] Moderate

Note: Too many times the push pull motion in kata is associated with a punch. It can be a punch , but it can also be a means to break the adversary’s balance. This can be used to set up a choke, lock, or throw. Keep an open mind when dealing with bunkai. When we call everything a punch, we limit our world of self-defense.

Part-1 Attacker: Grasps Your Wrist

• Attacker grabs your right wrist with their left hand. (LH)

Part-2 Defender: Elbow Strike, Choke, Throw

• Grasp the attacker’s right hand with your left hand.
• Pull the opponent’s right hand to your left hip.

Note: This is a distraction. It also breaks the attacker’s balance.

• Punch past the attacker’s left ear with your right hand.
• Strike the attacker with your right elbow.
• Wrap your arm around the attacker’s neck and create a guillotine choke.

Alternate: Finishing technique.

• Drive a knee strike to the attacker.
• Throw the opponent with Tome-nage
