[Source:] [Isshin-ryu Black Belt][Tuite]

[Rating:] AOKK Preferred Bunkai

Part-1 Attacker: Grasps Wrist

Part-2 Defender: Wristlock, Back Fist, Shin Kick, and Horizontal Elbow Strike

Information: In a “What-if Scenario” the series of techniques can be broken down into smaller pieces. In all bunkai you use as much as possible and seldom will you  use all the techniques in a self-defense situation.

Part-1 Attacker: Grasps Wrist

Part-2 Defender: Wristlock, Back -knuckle, Shin Kick, and Horizontal Elbow Strike

• Step into a cat stance to create distance.
• Pull your opponent’s arm towards your hip and downward.

Note: Try to place the attacker in a wristlock or finger lock. If you cannot get a lock, maintain control of the attacker’s wrist. The lock is only a distraction. The trapped limb keeps the opponent in your range of personal combat.

• Step forward still holding the attacker’s right hand down.
• Back Knuckle strike to the side of the attacker’s chin or temple. (LH)
• Shin-kick to the groin.
• Hook your (LH) arm around the attacker’s neck
• Release the attacker’s wrist (RH)
• Drive a Horizontal elbow into their chin.

Note: The goal is to hit the opponent as many times as you can. You may only get one or two pieces of this series, and that is okay.
