[17.1.1] Urashi-no-Kun Bunkai Series-17: (Skull Cracker)

(Kata Series 14) (Step-46,47)                  

At the end of most kata the Bo is rolled under the arm prior to the bow. This too is a portion of a self-defense response.

Attacker:

• The Bo is in the middle guarding position.

Defender:

• Step sideways.

Note: This removes the centerline targets.

• Thrust the Bo inside the opponent’s weapon between the attacker’s arm and the weapon.
• Twist the Bo in a circular motion to strip the weapon from the opponent’s hands.
• Step forward and drive the butt of the Bo over and to the top of the attacker’s head
