[3.1.0] Section-3 Kaishaku: Counter to a Wrist Grab

[Source:] [Isshin-ryu Black-belt]

Rating: Basic

Part-1 Attacker Grabs Wrist (to control your movements)

Note: This is to prevent you from moving out of his/her striking range. If they’re bigger they can drag you into a car or alley. When an attacker grasps your wrist you must free yourself and attack.

Part-2 Defender: Grasp Removal and Lead Hand Punch

Note: This is a small self-defense, but one everyone needs to know.

• Close your hand into a fist and roll it over the top of the attacker’s wrist in a circular motion.
• Snap your hand down as if executing a low block to break the attacker’s grip.
• Vertical snap punch to the attacker’s solar-plexus.
