Mukae Taoshi Counter with Kataha 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 wraps his arm around Tori’s head, applying a Mukae Taoshi (Irimi Nage Variation). As Uke performs the downward cut, Tori leans backward and steps back with his outside leg, absorbing the force of the cut. During this movement, both of Tori’s arms rise upward.
He then executes an Enka pivot, slipping his head out from under Uke’s control and passing beneath Uke’s arm. As he turns, Tori hooks Uke’s arm with his outside arm while placing his inside hand on Uke’s shoulder. He then joins his hands—more precisely, grasping the wrist of the hand controlling Uke’s shoulder—thereby establishing an Ude Garami (Kimura) control.
From there, Tori applies a spiraling downward turn, rotating his body as he directs the lock toward the mat, in order to take Uke to the ground through a descending rotational motion, completing the Kataha Nage.
