"Alright, moving along. Just because they come at you with two arms, doesn't meant you have to do something to both arms, okay. I don't have to do double kogarashi, or do double nikkyo, or anything like that. I can simply assume or treat this as a one armed attack. If he comes at me with just one arm, I can do hiji otoshi here. If he comes at me with two arms, I can do the same thing. I don't have to treat this as two different attacks. I can cut to the inside, hiji otoshi here. Let me demonstrate that again. All I did was turn out of the way. Go slow. As I turn out of the way, catch this elbow, turn him around, take the elbow down away from him to control him. That's one way you can do hiji otoshi from here. You can do hiji otoshi here, from the same side, cut back. Or you can just do irimi here. Just enter with it and cut his legs out from underneath him. One more time. One of the things I like to do is throw an atemi at the face, here, then cut this arm away from him, like this. Okay?"
