🔖 Technique Notes
As Uke reaches to grab Tori’s shoulder in Kata Dōri, before the grip is established, Tori steps forward on the centerline, raising both hands: his rear hand stops the attacking arm, while his lead hand places the palm under Uke’s chin, extending the head backward and unbalancing him to the rear. From this position, Tori wraps his rear arm around Uke’s attacking arm, passing under the elbow to lock it and control the arm under his armpit. He then places his lead hand, which was under Uke’s chin, onto Uke’s lead shoulder. Tori completes the control by gripping his own arm at the elbow, and can overextend Uke’s elbow by lifting it as he extends the arm which controls Uke's shoulder.
