This Waza Wednesday looks at the sequence of tetsui-uke (hammerfist receiver), mae-geri (front kick), and three sasae-gedan-barai (supported low sweeps) near the end of Passai Sho and Bassai Dai. We demonstrate against a punch, but any time you make cross-body arm contact, you can apply this technique. Ideally, the initial limb destruction will end the fight. If it doesn't, the following shoulder lock can be employed.
As a follow-up to the previous video, we also recorded a strangling application for that sequence. That video went live, today:
I love bunkai like that! Efficient, pragmatic, a perfect fit for the form, and VERY obvious … once it’s been shown! :-)
Very good!
Thanks for sharing them here.
All the best,

Those are great. Thanks for sharing.
The second also perfectly fits a sequence in Nijushiho, by the way.
