In this impromptu video, the opening movement of Heian Yondan can be used as a simultaneous block and strike. The juji uke ('X' block) is then used to secure a grip for a takedown and choke. This is a fighting application and not suitable for self defense. Intentionally going to the ground in a self defense situation is never advisable. This application is based on the work of Simon O'Brien.

Andy,
Really enjoyed this one, thanks for putting it up. The gator roll is a fun way to connect the kata bunkai sequence with your grappling/sparring skill set. Very smooth!
Glad you liked it. Thanks.
