Heian Yondan Entry Into Takedown and Choke

In this impromptu video, the opening movement of Heian Yondan can be used as a simultaneous block and strike. The juji uke ('X' block) is then used to secure a grip for a takedown and choke. This is a fighting application and not suitable for self defense. Intentionally going to the ground in a self defense situation is never advisable. This application is based on the work of Simon O'Brien.

Cheers,

Andy Allen

Andy,

Really enjoyed this one, thanks for putting it up.  The gator roll is a fun way to connect the kata bunkai sequence with your grappling/sparring skill set.  Very smooth!
