Ude Guruma Yubi Waza[Armlock with Finger Brace]
This armlock is ideal to use on a larger person or if you have small hands. It's an excellent
alternative to the wrist press armlock & is now used by a number of major law-enforcement
agencies. Once set you have a great deal of control over the person & it can be quite painful - so
use caution!
This technique is shown as a reaction to a right hit. It could be used for a variety of other
techniques as well. Your initial response might have to be different, depending upon the attack
or situation. It can be used from a desensitizing "come with me" hold [law-enforcement: low level
of force] all the way to an overhead knife or club attack or high knife slash.
Thanks to Marc Kolodziejczyk, for being my uke and Sensei Marc Tucker for the photography.
Ready Position
Block his hit to your right with a circular
crossblock as you sidestep to your left &
towards his right side
Grab his wrist with your right hand & pull him
forward slightly to off-balance him. Your left
hand comes up under his elbow, with his
elbow resting in the palm of your hand. Your
thumb is next to your fingers [don't grab his
elbow] & your fingers are pointing up.
Ude Gurama Yubi Waza http://www.budoshin.com/tech1.htm

Lift & rotate his elbow forward in a clockwise
direction as you bring his wrist down & back
in the same clockwise movement.
Start to change the grip on the attacker's
wrist as you bring his elbow forward & start
to bring his arm up behind his back.

Bring his arm up behind his back. Start to
bring his elbow into the crook of your arm
[between your upper arm and your body].
Slide your right hand up the back of his hand,
pressing it toward his elbow, to force his
hand open.
Slide your hand up so you're setting a wrist
press. Note that his hand is at a right angle to
his forearm and that your your right
hand/fingers are at a right angle to his hand.
You can stop at this point and you have a
"proper hold." The pressure you apply to the
attacker's wrist will control him as long as his
elbow is in the crook of your arm.
Slide your hand up & grab 2-3 of the
attacker's fingers.

For additional security you can grab his left
shoulder with your left hand and pull back
slightly.

Initial Responses for Knife at ThroatAttacker Behind You
A knife at your throat from behind is a serious threat to your life [understatement]. If the person
wants your possessions [money, jewelry, car, etc ...] give it to the assailant. They can all be
replaced. YOU CAN'T! However, here are some initial responses that can be used to get the knife
away from your throat if you have to defend yourself. You must immediately continue on with a
follow-through technique to remove yourself from imminent danger.
Four responses are shown below. There are others. The responses are graded from "OK" to
"BEST". In reality, however, what works best for you is dependent upon your knowledge, skill,
experience and yes, strength.
Thanks to Roy Gutierrez for being my uke and Marc Kolodziejczyk for the photography.
#1: Pull-down: Grab his knife hand and wrist.
Pull it down from your neck & against your
chest. Do NOT pull it away from you. [OK]
Weakness: If the attacker is significantly
stronger than you this won't work.
#2 Push: Hit or push his arm [at elbow] in
direction of the knife.
Knife at Throat http://www.budoshin.com/tech2.htm
1 of 4 11/06/2009 10:19
Be sure to turn your head away from the knife
& hold his arm in place as you continue.
[Better] Weakness: You're not effectively
controlling the weapon at this point.
#3: Push-Pull: Grab his right wrist with your
left hand & push his right elbow as in #2
above.
Turn your head away from the knife as you
pull down with your left hand. Hold his arm
and knife hand tight against your body to
restrict movement. [Much better than #2]
Weakness: Not much except as you execute
any type of technique you still have to be very
much aware of the knife. Good follow
throughs include drop throws [otoshi].
Knife at Throat http://www.budoshin.com/tech2.htm
2 of 4 11/06/2009 10:19
#4 Push-Slide: Bring your right hand up to
strike his right upper arm at the elbow.
As you push his arm across, turning your
head away from the knife, your left hand
starts to slide up under his forearm, palm
facing you.
Continue upward slide of your left hand as
you finish pushing his arm. Keep your hand
against your face as you do this counter.
[BEST] Weakness: The back of your left hand
or forearm could be cut if he can slide back,
but your face & neck are relatively
well-protected. It's easy to go into a
shoulderlock rear takedown [ude guruma
ushiro] from this point.

Te Nage [Hand Throw]or
Mae Heji Maki [Forward Elbow Roll Takedown]
For a rear forearm choke attack and a knife coming up at your throat. Who thought of this
attack? Charles Choi wanted my input on what to do for such an attack.
Just a bit of theory: Even though the knife poses the greatest threat, the rear forearm choke will
prevent you from effectively defending yourself against the knife. Therefore you have ot get out
of the choke. To make it a bit more realistic have your "attacker" arch you back a bit -- it
changes your balance. I showed this combination attack from a standing position. [No, my feet
weren't in any particular position & I wasn't concerned about his foot position either.]
Thanks to Roy Gutierrez for being my uke and Robert Farmer for taking the pictures.
Attacker sets right forearm choke. Your right arm
automatically comes up & rests on his elbow.
Attacker brings knife up to you with his left hand.
Your left hand immediately comes up to block. You
don't know if it's to stab you or threaten you.
However, it's life-threatening & must be dealt with.
Block his knife hand at the base of his arm with your
left forearm, with your hand open.
Te Nage or Mae Heji Nage http://www.budoshin.com/tech3.htm
1 of 7 11/06/2009 10:20
Trap his knife hand with your left hand & keep the
knife away from you. You must keep hold of his arm,
at the wrist & keep it bent, so he can't straighten it
out & develop more power for secondary thrusts.
Keep hold of his wrist at ALL costs [to avoid being
stabbed].
Push his knife hand away as you pivot your right foot
back so you can move your body to his right side.
Raise his right elbow up as you turn your head to
your left to get out of the headlock. Even though the
knife poses a more serious threat, the headlock is
preventing you from effectively defending against the
knife. You could use a foot stomp or other distracting
technique prior to this move.
Notice how head slips out of rear forearm choke.
Normally a person cannot concentrate on two things
at once. Getting out of the rear forearm choke is
possible because the attacker is concentrating on his
left hand.
Step your left foot back as you get out of the rear
forearm choke. Keep hold of his left wrist, bringing
his knife hand across his body.
Te Nage or Mae Heji Nage http://www.budoshin.com/tech3.htm
2 of 7 11/06/2009 10:20
Your right hand grabs hold of his wrist, with your left
thumb on the back of his hand, to set him up for a Te
Nage [Hand Throw]. Keep hold of his wrist with your
left hand at this point.
Switch your left hand to apply additional pressure to
the back of attacker's left hand, so that you can bend
his wrist, locking his wrist for a hand throw.
This picture shows the above grip from another
angle. Note thumb placement.
From this point you will execute a standard Te Nage
[Hand Throw] by pivoting your right foot to your right
and back in a circle as you continue to apply pressure
to the back of his hand with both of your thumbs. Do
not turn his hand. Hold your arms in the same
position relative to your body as you turn your body
to your right to execute the throw.
Te Nage or Mae Heji Nage http://www.budoshin.com/tech3.htm
3 of 7 11/06/2009 10:20
Execution of throw as attacker is about to flip over.
Note that his left arm is tight across the front of his
body. Be careful in executing the Te Nage. If done
properly it may break the attacker's wrist if not
executed slowly enough so that you can roll out of it
in practice.
Once the attacker is down you may want to execute a
heel strike to his face as a distraction. If his wrist is
broken at this point no further steps are necessary.
I'm moving on because ju-jitsu people never "assume"
anything will work.
Once the attacker is down drop down & execute a
wrist press at this point to force the attacker to
release the knife. If the wrist press is executed
quickly the wrist will break. If his wrist is already
broken from the Te Nage you won't be able to do this.
There are also several other submissions that could
be done from this point.
Te Nage or Mae Heji Nage http://www.budoshin.com/tech3.htm
4 of 7 11/06/2009 10:20
My original plan was to follow the above defense to
the point shown in this picture and then deal
exclusively with the attacker's right elbow, using a
Mae Heji Maki [Forward Elbow-roll Takedown], as
shown below. However, the technique shown above,
using the Te Nage, was my initial response when
actually confronted with the attack & I still feel it's a
better response because the knife hand is under
greater control. On the other hand, the technique that
follows could also be one of many other effective
techniques, especially if a distraction strike, nerve
attack, etc., is used somewhere in the initial moves
following blocking the knife, so that you can move
quickly into the rear forearm choke release.
Once you are behind the attacker your left hand
grabs his right wrist. Continue to apply pressure to
the underside of his elbow so he can't turn towards
you & attack with his knife hand.
Close up showing grip on his right wrist and
placement of your right hand on his elbow. It's in a
Sara [cupped position] so it can rotate and apply
continuous pressure to the attacker's elbow from the
underside or back of the elbow. Keep the sara on the
underside of his elbow for most effective leverage.
Te Nage or Mae Heji Nage http://www.budoshin.com/tech3.htm
5 of 7 11/06/2009 10:20
Roll his elbow forward, keeping his arm slightly bent,
to bring the attacker forward . . .
. . to the ground.
Once the attacker is down, squat down & set your left
knee on his back, moving his right arm into an
armlock position against your left hip, resting on
your left thigh. Command attacker to turn his head
away from you. You may shid=ft your wieght onto his
right shoulder to encourage this action at this point. It
will actually be more comfortable for the attacker/uke
if he turns his head away as his right shoulder will be
flat on the ground. On the other hand, if he attempts
to resist from this position, it will be far more painful
as you have significantly more leverage.
Remove the knife from the attacker's left hand if he
still has it. Once his right arm is locked in this
position, you don't need to hold onto it. It's very
important that you stay on your right foot & not go
Te Nage or Mae Heji Nage http://www.budoshin.com/tech3.htm
6 of 7 11/06/2009 10:20
down onto your right knee. If you do, most of your
weight will be on your right knee and not on the
attacker. By staying on your right foot you can shift
as much of your weight as necessary to secure
compliance by the attacker. If you execute this
submission quickly you can easily cause quite severe
injury to the uke's/attacker's shoulder, so be careful.

Ude Guruma MakikomiFigure-4 Armbar Winding Throw Setup
Setting up an attacker for a Figure-4 armbar can be achieved 100% of the time if you follow these
simple setup steps - even against a taller attacker. It took me about a year in Prof. Seki's class
to figure out how to set up a figure-4 armbar properly with a 100% success rate. Seki usually let
us figure out the "fine points" of the art ourselves. If I figured something out Seki would say,
"Ah, Joji [Japanese for George]. You finally figured it out. Good!" He did that to all of his
students. Yes, he always called me "Joji."
Thanks to Frank Blaney for being my uke and Marc Kolodziejczyk for the photography.
Block the attacker's arm to your left as you
step in.
Wrap your left arm over his arm, connecting
your forearm to the outer [up] side of his
elbow. This is the first key part in
successfully setting up the armbar.
This is the same move as above, shown from
the rear view. His elbow can be at a right
angle to the ground, or slightly higher and
you can still successfully set up the figure-4
armbar if you make your connection with your
forearm to the outer side of his elbow.
Ude Guruma Makikomi http://www.budoshin.com/tech4.htm
1 of 4 11/06/2009 10:20
Once you have connected with the outer edge
of his elbow bring his arm tight against your
side as you rotate his elbow with your left
forearm [your forearm moves to your right
and becomes horizontal to the ground as you
rotate his arm] so that his elbow is eventually
is pointing to the ground. Rotating his elbow
is the second key element is setting up the
figure-4 armbar.
Rest your right hand on the attacker's
shoulder as you complete the rotation of his
arm. Notice that his arm is now resting closer
to my elbow. Do not let your arm slip as you
rotate his elbow. Also notice that all of my
fingers and thumb are resting on his
shoulder.
Setting up the figure-4 armbar is completed
by resting your left hand, including your
thumb, on your right upper forearm. Your
rotation of his elbow will also have
off-balanced the attacker and set him up for
the throw, which should be a snap. Pardon
the pun.] To execute the throw simply apply a
little upward pressure with you left forearm &
downward pressure with your right hand. As
the attacker goes up onto his toes just pivot
your right foot back counterclockwise to
complete the throw.
CAUTION: Setting a figure-4 armbar as
instructed in this sequence will result in an
extremely tight armbar at his elbow. Be sure
to let up on the pressure on your uke's elbow
as you execute the throw. Otherwise a
dislocated elbow may be unavoidable.
Ude Guruma Makikomi http://www.budoshin.com/tech4.htm
2 of 4 11/06/2009 10:20
Having trouble with a taller attacker. Just
deliver a quick snap kick with the ball of your
foot to the outside front of his right thigh.
That should cause him to drop down
momentarily so you can set up the armbar.
Then, if he stands back up [unless you've
already thrown him] he'll set his own figure-4
armbar & will really cooperating with you.

Ude Guruma OtoshiShoulder-lock Drop Throw
03/03
This is a defense for a knife in your back, with your back arched. Practice this defense slowly to
achieve smoothness. It is an extremely fast technique once proficiency is achieved because your
constantly working in a circle. Be careful though. You can't complete this technique without
posing the risk of serious injury to your workout partner. Be sure to check my footwork as you
learn this technique. Footwork is always critical.
Thanks to Sean Gallimore for being my uke and Marc Kolodziejczyk for the photography.
Attacker has you in a secure rear forearm choke, with a knife
in your back at kidneys & your back arched.
This is a very difficult attack to defend against. Please be
aware that there is a reasonable chance that you might get
cut in the process of defending yourself from this attack.
Swing your left arm back, deflecting his knife arm to his left
as you turn in [to your right] tightly to him. You cannot turn
away from the forearm choke as the attacker will be able to
maintain it and keep you from turning either way.
Raise your right arm straight out & up against the inside
bottom of his upper arm just above his elbow. Note that my
right foot has stepped back to in between his feet.
Ude Guruma Otoshi http://www.budoshin.com/tech5.htm
1 of 4 11/06/2009 10:20
As your bringing your right arm up push his right forearm
down against your chest with an open hand. This will help
take the pressure off the choke.
Continue to hold his arm against your chest as you raise his
left arm. Once you get your arm up [notice straight line
between my left shoulder to right elbow which is keeping in
line with the attacker's right shoulder -- I've actually lowered
my center of gravity slightly] bend it towards the attacker to
trap his arm & keep it from sliding away or off.
Bring your right forearm down [see next pix for front view] as
you turn your body to your left. Make sure you keep your
body straight & head up so you can trap his forearm.
Front view. Notice how my right arm and head have trapped
his knife arm.

Detail of trap from another angle.
Clamp onto your right hand with your left hand.
Execute an ude guruma otoshi [shoulderlock drop throw] by
kicking your right leg up & drop down onto your rear. Keep
your body straight to maintain lock. CAUTION: Do not
complete this technique in practice. It puts an incredible
strain on the shoulder of your training partner & could cause
a fracture, dislocation &/or separation of the shoulder on
impact -- even on a mat!

Tekubi MakiWristlock Takedown & Press
[3/03]
This is a defense for a knife in your back & a forearm choke with your back straight. This is a
more difficult situation than having your back arched as you don't have any "wiggle room." Be
sure to check my footwork as you learn this technique. Footwork is always critical.
Thanks to Sean Gallimore for being my uke and Marc Kolodziejczyk for the photography.
Attacker has a knife in my back & has a secure rear
forearm choke.
This is a very difficult attack to defend against. Please
be aware that there is a reasonable chance that you
might get cut in the process of defending yourself
from this attack.
Slightly swing your hips to your right & immediately
strike back against his left forearm at the same time.
Both actions will cause the knife to flatten between
your back & his front. This will only save you
temporarily.
Tekubi Maki http://www.budoshin.com/tech6.htm

Attacker's natural reaction is to probably pull his knife
hand [& knife] out & away from you so he can stab
you. Don't forget to look at where my feet are going.
As he brings his knife attack in to you, block it with
your left. forearm.
Grab his wrist from behind with your right hand as
shown to stabilize location of his knife hand.
Tekubi Maki http://www.budoshin.com/tech6.htm
2 of 6 11/06/2009 10:21
Deflect his arm upward as you drop down slightly,
stepping out with your left foot. Grab his wrist from
behind with your right hand as shown.
Pivot under the attacker's arm as you shift more to
your left. Turn his hand/wrist slightly clockwise [so
his palm is up] to create sufficient pain/distraction to
slip out of the headlock & bring attacker up onto his
toes.
Once you've pivoted under his arm you will have a
wristlock. Pull it out & down slightly to set and bring
attacker further off balance.
Tekubi Maki http://www.budoshin.com/tech6.htm
3 of 6 11/06/2009 10:21
Apply forward & downward pressure against the back
of his wrist to get him to bend forward. Notice that's
I've stepped back with my right foot.
Note closeup of grip on his left hand from the other
side. It is important to have your index finger straight,
pointing downward, to direct your "ki" properly.
Continue to apply pressure to the back his his hand
as you drop down onto your right knee, bringing your
attacker down.
Your left hand grabs attacker's left shoulder.
Tekubi Maki http://www.budoshin.com/tech6.htm

Pull his shoulder around to your left as you start to
bring his right arm up into a simple armlock.
Close-up view from the top. Note that I keep his wrist
bent & that I'm maintaining my original grip on his
wrist/hand.
Once attacker's shoulder is on the ground you can
execute a wrist-press submission to get attacker to
release the knife if he's still holding it. Be aware that if
you press down quickly on his wrist, in this position,
you bill probably fracture it.

Carotid Artery Press Fix[Figure-4 Neck Nerve Press]
The Carotid Artery Press can be an extremely effective means
of putting your opponent out -- quickly. Unfortunately it also
poses a high risk of serious injury or death if not applied
properly throughout execution of the hold.
The problem occurs in a street situation where the assailant
may be trying to get away from you or you're not properly
balanced as you bring him down while he's still resisting OR
already unconscious. Note the space between the opponent's
back and the defender's front. This space creates injury
potential to the assailant's neck or upper back vertebre
[below neck] as they are not being properly supported.
To properly execute the brace you must maintain close body
contact with as much of his back as possible. This can easily
be accomplished by taking a step towards the attacker as the
hold is set. With one leg [thigh] against the back of one of his
legs or against his buttocks, you can remain balanced & in
control while at the same time protecting your assailant from
serious injury. This will reduce the chance of serious injury or
death. This is very difficult to do in a street situation. As a
result many law enforcement agencies limit the use of this
"choke" to "life & death" situations. Be sure to release
pressure on your opponent if he is cooperative, becomes
unconscious, or any other medical trauma [e.g., convulsions]

Cross-Cheek Press Takedown[3/07]
=
This technique may be used as a safer alternative to the figure-4 carotid restraint hold. However,
you must still use caution with this technique.
This is the figure-4 carotid restraint hold. While it is an
extremely effective submission hold, there are numerous
risks of injury to the restrained person due to the nature of
the technique. These risks must be weighed in deciding
whether or not to use this restraint.
The Cross-Cheek Press Takedown is an effective means of
removing, subduing or controlling an attacker from behind.
Step up behind the attacker, bringing your right forearm up
across his right cheekbone and starting to turn his head to
your left and against you.
At the same time your left palm pushes down on the top of
his left rear "cheek", placing him off balance. [See balance
points in my book Jujitsu Nerve Techniques]. Sometimes
this type of action is called the "concept of opposites".
Change your open hand to a closed fist as your turn his head

1 of 4 11/06/2009 10:21
against your chest.
Your left hand grabs onto your right fist, pulling it towards
you. This should place pressure on the infraorbital nerve
[facial buccal branch] , meridan point ST-2, which can be
very painful.
Bring the attacker down to the ground, holding his head
against your chest. You should go down onto your right knee
so you can provide proper support against the attacker's
back.
Your left hand reaches down and grabs his left forearm
[your palm down] to bring attacker's left arm into an armlock
as you . . .
. . . turn the attacker to your left bringing him down onto the
ground.

This pinning portion/movement of the technique is very
difficult to do slowly & may seem very awkward if done so.
However, for safety reasons go as slowly as possible. As the
attacker goes down to the ground your will be able to use his
downward momentum to assist in maintaining the hold as
you move your right leg over his body to his right side.
Moving your right leg over his body allows you to remain on
top of him as he goes down onto his stomach. At this point
you can release the Cross-Cheek Press and retain control
with the armlock. Releasing the Cross-Cheek Press will also
allow you to establish a much safer and more comfortable
position for yourself and the opponent.

Nose-Bridge Takedown[3/07]
This takedown is another safe alternative to the figure-4 carotid neck restraint. In addition to
pressing down on the bridge of the nose, it also eliminates the person's vision until they are
down; a fairly disorienting asset.
This is the figure-4 carotid restraint hold. While it is an
extremely effective submission hold, there are numerous
risks of injury to the restrained person due to the nature of
the technique. These risks must be weighed in deciding
whether or not to use this restraint.
Come up behind opponent, crossing your right forearm over
left [or left over right] sliding down over his eyes.
Continue to bring your hands/forearms down so that wrist
that's underneath is resting on the bridge of his nose.
Bring your hands/forearms down a bit more as you pull
opponent's head towards your chest.

Nidan Kata
The kata presented below are the additional forms a shodan candidate needs to learn for the
kata portion of the nidan test in Budoshin Ju-Jitsu. The pictures, taken by Jared Wynn, are
meant to provide assistance in understanding the form, not specific step-by-step photos of how
to do each kata. To the right of the pictures is the name of the technique, its "number" in the
Big Book, and my notes on how to execute the technique. Thanks to Jeff Wynn for putting all of
this together. They were originally presented at the Budoshin Ju-Jitsu 2007 Summer Camp in
Santa Clarita, CA.

thrust. This is a life-threatening attack and must be
dealt with aggressively. You first pivot out of the way of
the knife thrust by rotating your right foot back. Grab
his knife hand with your right hand at his wrist from on
top. Use a knife-edge [karate] strike to his left shoulder
with your left hand, knocking him down. Your left knee
goes down on his arm above his elbow. Your right foot
goes under his forearm. Lean against his back. Take the
rope, which is already looped & the loop is loosely
around your wrist. Grab the fingers of his left hand thus
pulling his arm back. The rope will slip down onto his
wrist. Pull the loop tight. Bring the rope around the front
of his neck & then around his right wrist, twice
clockwise. Take your foot away & your left knee moves

wrist comes up against his right outer wrist from
underneath [opposite side of thumb]. Your left hand
[including your thumb] hooks around his wrist in a
counterclockwise arc to throw. For submission your left
hand keeps hold of his right wrist. Your right leg comes
in under his armpit. Turn and push his arm to your left,

hand to his left lapel and your left hand to his right
lapel. Place your right kneecap on his sternum. Pull up
on his lapels with a quick jerk as you put all of your
weight onto your kneecap, thus cracking his sternum.
[Caution!!! It is very easy to lose your balance and
accidentally injure your partner during practice as you
will be off balance in setting the submit up in order to
protect your partner. If he moves or resists you, you
would lose your balance and injure him.]

Nozo no Ushiro NageThroat Attack
Before showing the correct way to push against the larynx with this technique there are four things that need to be
stressed whenever you practice ju-jitsu:
Ju-Jitsu techniques, when properly executed at full speed are designed to cause the assailant serious injuries
at the very least.
1.
Students need to learn self-control in executing techniques, only using as much force/ki as necessary to
effective control their attacker to prevent additional attacks.
2.
Any strike, kick or blow to the larynx, regardless of how “lightly” struck can cause serious injury or death.3.
Students who resist techniques in practice are usually the ones who sustain injuries.4.
I do NOT allow my students to strike the larynx in any form or
manner. PERIOD. The demonstration of the Nozo no Ushiro Nage in
the video was choreographed to demonstrate how the technique
would work in a life/death situation. The video also shows simulated
strikes along side the neck so the student can practice the
technique without actually striking his opponent. Make sure you
step forward with the same foot on the same side of your body as
your extended arm, thus maximizing your ki flow/momentum
/balance and destroying the balance of the opponent without
exerting any more effort.
When students are initially taught this technique they are taught to
PLACE their middle finger on the jugular notch. The other fingers
support the middle finger. If the defender wants the person to go
backwards, the tip [not print side] of the finger gently pushes back
towards the back of the opponent’s head.
Nozo No Ushiro Nage http://www.budoshin.com/tech14.htm
1 of 2 11/06/2009 10:22
If you want the person to go straight down, reach behind the jugular
notch and push down gently until the person goes down.
On the street this “push” can be done quite quickly and effectively,
but it should never be used as a strike unless you “fear for your
life”. A simple push can be very effective and produces a good
“gag” reflex at the same time.

Uki-OtoshiQuick-Learn Sequence
The standard Uki Otoshi [in Budoshin Ju-Jitsu] is a really beautiful throw once you learn it.
However, getting there can be a very frustrating process. I learned the throw after many hours of
frustration and trying to believe that I could do the throw - get both of my feet off the ground
straight out to the right side of my uke, snap turn to my left, and execute the throw. Much easier
said than done.
In the mid 1970's three of my junior high brown belt students showed me an easier way to learn
the technique. We tried it with a few other students and discovered that the brown belts
creativity had made a major breakthrough in helping student easily learn a "difficult" throw.
Learning the throw requires three people -- tori, uke, and tori holder.
Please keep in mind that this uki-otoshi has a physical limitation. It works best when used
against people who are bigger [taller & heavier] than you are unless you can execute this throw
exceptionally well [which some people can]. Conversely if you try to do this on a person smaller
[lighter or shorter] than you are you are liable to force them backwards onto the ground with you
on top of them.
Thanks to Glenda Perl for being the tori, Byron Davis for being the uke, and Michael Langewisch
for the photography.
This uki otoshi can be found on page 72 of Jujitsu: Basic Techniques of the Gentle Art, or
Technique #8 on DVD #3 of the Budoshin Ju-Jitsu Black Belt Home Study Course.
Glenda [tori] grabs hold of Byron's [uke] sleeves. [It
would have been better if Glenda had grabbed around
Byron's neck from his left side or over & around his
right shoulder/arm[ as for a karada makikomi - body
winding throw]. It would have put her back against
Byron's chest when she jumped up. However, that is
not of critical importance in this series of pix.
Uki Otoshi http://www.budoshin.com/tech15.htm
1 of 4 11/06/2009 10:23
George [tori holder] has reached in & grabbed tori's
belt in her right front.
Glenda then kicks her right leg up [which George
grabs & holds] as she comes in closer to Byron to set
up the uki otoshi. George is also still holding her belt.
Glenda kicks her left leg up as George holds both legs
with his right arm and her body by holding onto her
obi/belt. George is holding her in this position off of
the ground.
Uki Otoshi http://www.budoshin.com/tech15.htm
2 of 4 11/06/2009 10:23
As Glenda pulls Byron's sleeve and turns to her left
George slowly lowers her to the ground, holding onto
her obi until she gets close to the ground.
Once Glenda gets the throw going, George lets go
completely and Byron takes the fall.
This process is repeated at least 2-3 more times as the
student gains confidence. Once the tori holder [or
sensei] decides that the student is jumping up &
executing the throw properly he will hold onto the belt
& legs for less and less time. Usually around the
3rd-5th time the tori holder can just reach for & hold
the belt very lightly & as the tori comes in to execute
the throw, let go completely. Do NOT tell the uke you
are not going to hold onto the belt until after the throw
during which you did not hold onto the belt. Let tori
know ONLY after the tori has executed the throw
completely on their own.
Wow! Tori is now doing uki otoshi completely on
his/her own.
Note: If this throw just boggles your mind, you physically cannot do it, or you can't find a bigger
uke to practice on, there are some optional uki otoshi you can do. In other words, you're not
just limited to this particular uki otoshi for testing purposes.
Other uki otoshi listed below are also acceptable:
Uke Otoshi - Floating Drop Throw - reverse for hip throw or drop throw
Jujitsu: Intermediate Techniques of the Gentle Art, p. 176
Senaka Hiki Nage - Shoulder Pull Throw - reverse for hip throw
Jujitsu: Intermediate Techniques of the Gentle Art, p. 178
There may be other floating throws that are not listed here which are also acceptable.
