Forward Rear Throw
From the ready position, your attacker thrusts with his knife. Block the
attacker's forearm with a juji block, your right
arm over your left. You should block with your lower forearms. Your hand
should be open, but fingers and thumbs of each hand should be together. Step
forward with your left foot about half a step at the same time to absorb
the shock of the block. Maintain the block with your left forearm as you
slide your right had down, and grab between the attacker's wrist and hand
to keep his hand and knife from moving. Step back with your right foot as
you raise his right arm up. Pivot back in with your right foot as you finish
bringing his arm up, and pull out, down, and back in a big circe to your
right, thus throwing the attacker. |
