Springfield Class - 5/16/2006

Traffic was not an issue this time so I arrived early enough to warm up. In attendance was Jong, Chris, and Brian. We started with the usual ukemi then we did the following:


  1. Uke: Lapel grab, punch to face.
    Tori: Don't worry about the lapel grab. When the punch comes reach over the arm that is holding you to either receive the punch or disrupt it by attacking the face. This traps the hand. Use your elbow to bend the uke's arm. The balance should be taken easily from here.


  2. Uke: Lapel grab, gun pointed at you.
    Tori: Rotate away from the attack and use your forward arm to bend the uke's arm at the elbow. Use your elbow to bend it. This bending of the elbow should take the uke off balance and bring him closer to you. The gun should be close enough to take control of it. Grab the uke's hand with your forward hand and use your other hand to leverage the gun as you rotate into the uke. This will peel the gun out of the uke's hold and give you control. The uke's trigger finger is highly likely to get trapped and broken whether it's in the trigger guard or not.


  3. Same as previous except bring the gun up to the throat and force the uke down with it. Control them as they fall and while they're on the ground.


  4. Seated version of the first technique.


The following were all actual kata. I believe it was the jutaijutsu portion of Shinden fudo ryu. I didn't get the names but I will later.


  1. Uke: Straight punch to face.
    Tori: Shizen no kamae. Receive to the inside in a jumonji or hira like kamae, not ichimonji. Your rear hand should be with the attacking hand and your forward hand on their should. Kick to the groin with the forward leg then apply o-gyaku and drop straight back. Go down to the knee as needed. You may also drive the uke into your rear knee or leap back with o-gyaku. Add strikes wherever appropriate. :-)


  2. Uke, Tori: Kumiuchi
    Tori: Shift to the left in ichimonji pulling uke off balance. At the same time use your right hand to pull their lapel across the neck. When the uke resists step in for a standard hip throw. When you move in don't grab the arm until you're in place. Grab the shoulder.


  3. Uke, Tori: Kumiuchi
    Tori: Similiar to the previous one except instead of moving back shift in. Twist the uke's torso with your hands. As they resist move your arms in a windmill motion as you rotate to the right. This movement is going with the uke's motion. Your left arm should be underneath the uke's arm and your right arm to the outside of the uke's arm or on the shoulder. Drop to one knee as you throw as needed.


  4. Uke, Tori: Kumiuchi
    Tori: During the struggle switch hand positions. With the hand on the lapel strike into the chest to off balance the uke. As they regain their balance use the momentum to rotate and throw. Again, control one of the shoulders.


  5. Uke: Straight punch to face.
    Tori: Receive to the inside and kick to the groin just like the other one. Immediately move into the kick-throw. Control the outside shoulder and pull the upper arm with your other hand (the one that received). I don't remember the name for this throw.


  6. Uke, Tori: Kumiuchi.
    Tori: Switch hand positions. With the outside hand attack the kyusho point on the inside of the bicep raising that arm. Draw your other hand across the throat/face to the opposite shoulder. Begin the armbar as you kick the leg closest to you out. At this point the armbar is there and you can drop to a knee.


In most of these holding onto the shoulder with one of your hands is preferred. Also, add additional strikes where applicable.
