Aikido Weapons: Tantodori Knife Disarming Bent Wrist Throw

Video Transcript

"So this is very similar to the beginning, we're just talking about it over here. Very similar to the beginning of hegishegai. Actually you can do- If kotegaeshi doesn't work, you can go into hegishegai. So we'll just go over the entry real quickly, and then we'll go into, actually with this one a good pin. So for hegishegai, we essentially came from here, slid down, and rolled this up. Kotegaeshi, that's what we're doing now, all we're going to do is slide all the way down, until we automatically come to this stump, this is going to stop our movement. From here step out, get him a little off balance by drawing this down, step back, you create a hole, step into the hole. From there we're going to grab the elbow, put the wrist right over the top of his forehead, when we get this down as low as we can, then we're going to push it into his ear. Then we come all the way around, almost like we're going to kick him here; we're not going to go quite that far, because we want to go over the top of this shoulder. Once I have this grip, I'm just going to gently lean in. From here, I would take the back of the blade out this way, step head-ward place it down, and then start all over. So from here, nice and easy, boom, down, open, step in."
