[20.2.0] Sunsu Section-20 Kaishaku: Counter to a Lapel Grab

[Source:] [Isshin-Ryu Black-Belt]

[Rating:] AOKK Preferred Bunkai

Information:

Normally the focus is on removing the attacker’s grasp, but truthfully if his/her hands are on your lapels they’re tied up. Striking the opponent will happen unimpeded. A quick strike can prevent the attacker from turning and landing the throw. The key is to strike quickly.

Part-1 Attacker: Attacker grabs lapel

Part-2 Defender: Groin Strike, Palm-heel, Knee, Punch

• Groin strike the attacker.
• Palm-heel strike the attacker’s chin.
• While the attacker is distracted, grasp his/her obi (belt)
• Snap backwards on the obi.

Warning: This can cause a lower back injury, so be careful during training.

• Knee strike the attacker’s groin.
• Vertical Snap Punch to the Solar Plexus
