Irimi-nage

(enter body throw) 7th form attack

Your partner punches your stomach with his right hand. Use your right hand to deflect the blow. At the same time, step with your left leg into his right side.

Now catch your partner by the shoulders and push him down so as you move past his back, bending your knees as you do so.



Ikkyo (first principle) 3rd form attack

Your partner catches your left shoulder from one side. Step back to your own right corner, bringing your right hand up to attack his face with either a punch or a blow with the side of the hand. Follow through brushing the back of your hand down his arm. Catch his wrist with your right hand and place your left hand just above his face. Bring your body back and push his arm into the mat to immobilise.
