Katate Dōri Kubishime Counter with Iki Chigai – Yoseikan Budō Hyōri no Kata
⛩️ Source
This extract comes from the BAB Japan instructional DVD series, released in early 2000, with Volume 2 specifically published on January 26, 2000, and both volumes supervised by Minoru Mochizuki Sensei, who oversaw the filming, choreographed demonstrations, and performed many techniques personally. The technique demonstrated here comes from the Hyōri no Kata, a kata created by Minoru Mochizuki that simulates combat in armor. It is performed in slow-motion and consists entirely of Kaeshi Waza (counter techniques). In this DVD, this kata is demonstrated by Minoru Mochizuki Sensei’s students.
🔖 Technique Notes
Tori is caught in a Katate Dōri Kubishime, with Uke positioned behind him, gripping one of his wrists and extending Tori’s arm while applying a lapel choke.
To escape, Tori first brings the held arm back in front of his center so he can lift it along his centerline. He raises the arm overhead and seizes Uke’s choking hand while pivoting away from the choking side in a Tenkan movement, passing underneath Uke’s arm. During this turn, he frees his wrist from Uke’s grip and secures Uke’s hand with both hands.
Tori then draws his lead leg slightly behind the other and extends his arms forward, applying a Sankyō wrist rotation. This raises Uke’s arm and unbalances him upward, bringing him onto his tiptoes.
Finally, Tori cuts with Uke’s arm, attempting to project him in a Iki Chigai (Sankyō Nage-like technique).
