Ready Position |
|
Block his hit to your right with a circular crossblock as you sidestep to your left & towards his right side |
|
Grab his wrist with your right hand & pull him forward slightly to off-balance him. Your left hand comes up under his elbow, with his elbow resting in the palm of your hand. Your thumb is next to your fingers [don’t grab his elbow] & your fingers are pointing up. |
|
Lift & rotate his elbow forward in a clockwise direction as you bring his wrist down & back in the same clockwise movement. |
|
Start to change the grip on the attacker’s wrist as you bring his elbow forward & start to bring his arm up behind his back. |

|
Bring his arm up behind his back. Start to bring his elbow into the crook of your arm [between your upper arm and your body]. |
|
Slide your right hand up the back of his hand, pressing it toward his elbow, to force his hand open. |
|
Slide your hand up so you’re setting a wrist press. Note that his hand is at a right angle to his forearm and that your your right hand/fingers are at a right angle to his hand. You can stop at this point and you have a “proper hold.” The pressure you apply to the attacker’s wrist will control him as long as his elbow is in the crook of your arm. |
|
Slide your hand up & grab 2-3 of the attacker’s fingers. If you look at the pix you will notice that the attacker’s hand has rotated slightly outward. This is a natural movement of his hand as you slide your hand up to grab his fingers. |
|
Pull the fingers back towards you to secure compliance. Once you have grabbed his fingers in this “semi-rotated” position, and you pull his fingers back, his hand will continue to rotate until his palm is facing down. |
