[12.1.1] Shi Shi-No-Kun Bunkai Series-12: (Step Back and Strip)

(Kata Series 6) (Step-29,30,31)  

Attacker:

• Presses forward and thrusts the Bo towards the defender’s solar-plexus.

Defender:

• Step backwards out of the range-of-combat while batting the thrust away.

Note: Just because you are in retreat, does not mean you cannot mount a counterattack.

• Thrust the Bo to the opponent’s solar-plexus.

Note: This is a loosening technique. Hopefully it stops the attacker’s forward pressure.

Attacker:

• Presses forward and thrusts the Bo towards the defender’s solar-plexus.

Defender:

• Thrust the tip of you weapon forwards.

Note: The point is to set up a strip, but if you make contact the attacker will stop pressing forward.

• Push the end of your Bo between the weapon and the opponent’s wrist.
• Turn sideways and strip the Bo form the attacker’s hand.
