"ANTHONY LUCAS: On behalf of Expert Village, my name is Anthony Lucas of the Bujinkan Koteki Dojo of New York City. Today, I'm going to show advanced techniques of Ninjutsu. The next technique from Kukishinden Ryu shoulder level is called Kata-Ho. Again I'm in the actual kamae, and she is [INDISCERNIBLE] the ichimonji. [PH] Mary will come up with a right punch, I'm going to step off the line and block, she comes with the next one, I'm going to block her next punch. And as she comes with the third one, I'm going to step off and block, but this time, as I block, I'm going to roll my arm over her arm and as I do that, I'm going to step in and put my leg behind her right leg. Okay again. So now come full punching. She comes in with one, she comes two, and she comes three, I come to block. As I block I step over her right leg and she falls. So more or less, so real time she comes with the punch, I would do one, she comes with the next one, two, she comes again, I'll block and step, and she falls."
