Small Circle Inside Grab in Koden Kan Martial Arts
Hi! I’m Madison Warner and I’ve been instructing for over 10 years in Michael M. Foley system of Koden Kan Karate, if you’d like to go to our website please do its h2hctc.com or my website is mellei.com. Today we’re going to learn small circle inside grab and what you’re going to do on this one your attacker comes in again, they have their hands either choking you or what if some guy comes up and grabs you like this…this would also work. What you’re going to do is step to the side this time, you’re going to grab their hands I’ll show you how in just a second, step to the side you’re going to peel the hand off, then you’re going to apply pressure down to the floor with a flat hand okay and you also want to make sure that you pivot into a stance so that you’re always steady and grounded like we talked about, so you’re going to grab, step to the side, peel the hand off keeping it close to the body, this is the small circle part of the name so what you’re going to do is peel it keep it close to your body, take your hand and apply pressure straight down to the floor okay right here and notice my stance again, you’re going to just pivot into a kiba dachi with a pivot turning your feet at a 45 degree angle okay. With a person you’re going to step to the side, grab and we did this grab earlier, you’re going to put your thumb on the pinky knuckle, your fingers inside of the hand so you’re grabbing this whole thumb joint, again not the thumb part just the joint down here so grab a hold of that with your fingers and what you’re doing is you’re rotating again, you’re going to push with your thumb and pull with your fingers and keeping it close to your body, then you’re going to apply pressure straight down to the floor, okay and that is the small circle inside grab.
