Performed by Nariyama Shihan, 8th Dan
Against Morikawa Sensei, 7th Dan
Kote Hineri "The
Wrist Twist." This technique is very similar to Oshi Taoshi. Nariyama Sensei
first slides back and to the left to avoid the stab. As he does so, he uses his
right hand to grab the attacker's stabbing hand. He twists the hand up and
counter clockwise (if in Nariyama's place and looking down at the wrist.) Doing
so locks out the wrist joint and forces the attacker's arm to twist. With a
little more pressure, and help from his left hand, Nariyama causes this twist to
carry on to the attacker's torso. The attacker is easily pushed down, with the
wrist lock being maintained all the way down to the ground.
Kote Gaeshi
"The Wrist Fold." As demonstrated here, this is a counter to the
previous technique, Kote Hineri. Nariyama Sensei slides back and to the left to
avoid the stab. He grabs the attacker's wrist and tries to twist it up and
counter clockwise, as above. However, the attacker successfully resists this
attempt by twisting his own wrist (viewed from his own position) clockwise.
Doing so, however, leaves him open to Kote Gaeshi. Nariyama Sensei moves to his
right, pulling the attacker off balance, and then continues that clockwise (from
the attacker's point of view!) turning of the wrist. This thoroughly breaks the
attacker's balance and throws him into a forward flyer fall. Notice that as done
here, Kote Gaeshi is not a pain submission wrist hold. It is a balance breaking
technique as execute here in this version of the technique.
Tenkai Kote
Hineri "The Rotating Wrist Twist." In the name of this technique, the Tenkai
or rotating part refers to the defender's having to turn 180 degrees while
executing the technique. The hineri or twist part describes what is done to the
attacker's kote or wrist. Nariyama Sensei avoids the stab by sliding forward and
to his left. As he does so, he grabs the stabbing arm with both hands, slips in
next to the attacker's torso, and then, keeping the attacker's arm on his own
center line, rotates 180 degrees to his left. Doing so twists the wrist and
locks up the wrist and elbow joints. Nariyama then lifts the attacker's arm
upward to get him on his toes. Nariyama then slides back and to his right as he
yanks the attacker's locked arm downward. The attacker is simultaneously pulled
down and to the right, and is thrown to the ground.
Tenkai Kote
Gaeshi "The Rotating Wrist Fold." Again, the tenkai or rotating part of this
technique's name refers to the fact that the defender has to turn around while
executing the technique. The gaeshi or folding part of the name describes what
is done to the attacker's wrist. This technique is also commonly referred to as
Shiho Nage, which means "The Four Direction Throw," a name also meant to
describe the fact that the defender has to turn around (through 4 directions).
Nariyama Sensei slides forward and to the right to avoid the stab. He grabs the
attacker's arm, and twists it to break the attacker's balance. Then, keeping the
arm in his own center, he turns around. As he does so, his right hand folds the
attacker's wrist back towards the attacker's forearm. Pressure is applied
forward and down for the throw.
