Shino-nage

(four direction throw). 1st form

This technique is the four direction projection as used in Japanese fencing. It involves turning on the left and right foot and cutting in four directions. Your opponent grasps your right wrist with his right hand. By making a spiral movement with your right hand, you then catch his wrist. At the same time catch the back of his right hand with your left hand, breaking his balance to his front. Do not lean backwards but keep your body slightly forward. Step through with your left leg, keeping your legs slightly bent. Swivel on the ball of your foot and bend your opponent's arm backwards. Throw your opponent down.
