Sayunage from Ryotedori

Video Transcript

"Okay, doing the same attack on the previous one, we kind of stepped a little bit coming into the iriminage, now we change the line and go right into sayunage. You actually invite the person to attack. You accept the attack here, and as they move past you, you cut them down. Being careful, the uki needs to be careful in this one because they can get smashed in the face with this. That's why I always tell my ukis to put your head back out of the way so you don't go...oops, sorry...so you don't do this. Just take your head out of the occasion. So again, using ukenagashi to cut the arm out of the way. I've changed the line of attack. The line of attack is here, and I change it to here with my ukenagashi arm deflection, here. Cut through just like this. We'll do it on this side so you can see, one, two. Again on this side, one, two. Moving the distance up a little bit and picking the pace up, and then one real fast. Obviously there are great options here for atemi. Slow this one down. Here, I like to hit the chin, come up underneath the chin to throw the head back, and if you want, you can cut down...remember the point that I showed you from the choke, you can actually hit up here and then cut down into it, like this, or come up here like this and cut down on the other side. You have to be careful of that side because you can actually hit the esophagus and damage it. You don't want to hit the esophagus to the side. That's why I try to stay on the same side, here, right there."
