Shihō Nage Ura Counter with Tenbin Nage – 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
Uke lifts Tori’s hand, and once it reaches over Uke’s head, he executes an Enka pivot, unbalancing Tori as in the opening of a Shihō Nage Ura. However, before the Shihō Nage cut is completed, Tori rests his head on his own elbow, effectively unifying his arm with his body.
Tori then moves his lead leg to return side by side with Uke and pivots under Uke’s arm, escaping the Shihō Nage. Immediately after the pivot, Tori places both hands over Uke’s forearm while Uke’s elbow rests on Tori’s biceps, extending Uke’s arm and locking the elbow, and unbalancing Uke upward onto his tiptoes. In this position, Tori establishes a Tenbin Nage setup (variation of an Ude Kime Nage), and could complete the throw by lowering Uke’s hand while raising the elbow, using the arm as a lever to project him.
