Performed by Nariyama Shihan, 8th Dan
Against Morikawa Sensei, 7th Dan
Oshi Taoshi "The
Pushing Topple." In this technique, Nariyama Sensei slides back and to the left,
avoiding the blow. As he does so, he pulls back on the attacker's arm. As the
attacker pulls back to regain his balance, Nariyama Sensei sides forward,
keeping the attacker's elbow in his own center and pushing towards the
attacker's ear. This forces all of the attacker's weight onto his back, left
foot. At that point, it is an easy matter to push a little more and knock the
attacker over. A gentle elbow lock is used as a hold down for this
demonstration.
Ude Gaeshi "The
Arm Folding Technique." In this technique, Nariyama Sensei slides to the left to
avoid the stab. As he does so, he grabs the attacker's arm and gives it a little
tug. This causes the attacker to be slightly unbalanced. As the attacker pulls
back with his arm in an attempt to regain his balance, Nariyama Sense slides
forward, bends the attacker's arm at the elbow, and pulls the attacker backward
by folding the arm over, behind the shoulder. The attacker is thrown onto his
back.
Hiki Taoshi "The
Pulling Topple." In this technique, Nariyama Sensei slides back and to his left
to avoid the strike. As he does so, he blocks at the attacker's wrist with his
right hand, and grabs the attacker's wrist underneath with his left. In doing
so, his left hand is palm side upward. He then pulls back with that left hand
while simultaneously turning the hand over, so that it is now palm-side
downward. Doing so locks the attacker's elbow. The unbalanced attacker is now
brought down by pulling and applying gentle pressure at the elbow with the right
hand.
Ude Hineri "The
Arm Twist." This technique is a counter to the previous one. One first attempts
Hiki Taoshi: one grabs the wrist the same and tries to break the attacker's
balance. If however, the attacker's balance is not fully broken, and he is
pulling back, you go with it. As you can see Nariyama Sensei demonstrate, one
steps to the outside, locks the attacker's arm under one's own, and then throws
the attacker forward by twisting one's upper torso. Be sure not to lift upwards
on the attacker's arm, as doing so will rip the shoulder out. Simply twisting
while keeping the attacker's arm level will throw the attacker quite well.
Waki Gatame "The
Side Pin." The Japanese name for the technique refers to an arm bar applied
while the defender is standing to the attacker's side. Nariyama Sensei first
avoids the stab by sliding to the side. He simultaneously raises the attacker's
arm using a hand blade. He grabs the attacker's arm and initially pulls him
upward, breaking his balance. The attacker's arm is then brought down and snugly
placed in the crook of the right elbow for the pin. Key to the technique is
grabbing and rotating the attacker's forearm so as to lock out the elbow joint.
Watch Nariyama's left hand accomplish this trick.
