[16.1.1] Urashi-no-Kun Bunkai Series-16: (Strip and Thrust)
(Kata Series 13) (Step-43,44)
This is one of the most basic bunkai to a specific attack. In this case, the attack is made high. Normally the attack is made to the opponent’s hands or wrists.
Attacker:
- Thrust the Bo tip forward.
Defender:
- Step sideways.
Note: This removes the centerline targets.
- Circular Block/Strike the Bo sideways and rotate your weapon to deflect the attack away and downward.
- Thrust your Bo over the attacker’s weapon.
- Strip the opponent’s lead hand from the weapon.
Note: This is called a bump attack. Your attack comes immediately after contact occurs with the opponent’s weapon.
Note: The thumb is the weakest point of the grip, so attack the thumb as you create a lever.
Note: to set up the Strip you need a distraction. Drive the point of the Bo into the opponent’s sternum, solar plexus, or head. This will loosen up the opponent’s grip on their weapon.
