Outside single leg takedown -

switch to a double then quickly go for a side mount-

Here's how it works-

Circle with your opponent. When he steps, shoot for the opposite leg, head on the inside and swing your body to the outside. Switch off to a double leg takedown and quickly get your hips out and around so that you're in the side mount position. Here, you can search for kimuras, scissor compression locks, side strangles, side arm bar or whatever presents itself!  The keys are circularity, level changing, fast hips and recognizing the limb, etc. that presents itself and the lock, choke or bar that could be used!

Good Luck in your training-

Sensei,

Modern weapon, traditional (Yoshin Ryu Jujitsu) defense.

This pistol disarm is very fast and when practiced and mastered, it is over
in a fraction of a second, however it is NOT advisable to risk your life for
a few small bank notes, Credit cards that can be cancelled and/ or your cell phone.
In today's world innocent people are being robbed and killed even though they comply with an attackers demands and if this is the case should this attack happen to you, you have two choices try to survive or leave your fate in the hands of the mugger with a gun.
When confronted, place your hands at shoulder height and slightly wider than your shoulder width apart (this posture is known as Hira no kamae or the flat posture) this is a natural action and will probably not be suspicious.

From this position move 45 degrees forward and to the out side turning your body out of the line of fire, take hold of the attackers wrist (just below the thumb) with your lead hand, While pivoting on the lead foot and turning your rear leg a quarter circle. Your free hand now takes hold of the barrel from under the weapon (catching the weapon in the v between the index finger and the thumb. Push the barrel of the weapon up and over the attackers thumb towards his opposite shoulder and simultaneously deliver a rear leg front snap kick (destroy the foundation) to the attackers lead leg.



Continue to push the barrel of the weapon forward until the weapon strips from your attackers hand . Take hold of the pistol grip (so the weapon continues to point at the
attacker) Then slide back out of reach (ensuring the hip moves before the leg and Keeping the knees slightly bent maintains stability). Remove yourself from danger and contact the police.



This technique encompasses the principles of Yoshin Ryu Jujitsu Incorporating superior body movement and flow, Using angle, direction and pivoting motion. Using hands and feet as separate tools to over come and defeat an attacker. Destroying the foundation to unbalance and incapacitate an attacker. This defense also uses the traditional combat principles

1) Distance
2) Timing
3) Balance
4) Speed
5) Space

Knee Scoop from back into a Gi Choke

Sensei David Hertzog is seen here teaching the takedowns/ submissions with one of his students, Joseph Bender II. Hertzog’s Combat Grappling Concepts, Kulpmont, PA 17834 (570) 373-1421 email: hertzog655@msn.com

1.      While lying on your back in a defensive position, measure your opponent’s distance.

2.      Top foot goes above his knee (inside); bottom foot goes near his ankle (outside).

3.      Scissor sweep him backwards.

4.      Quickly scramble into side control.

5.      Lock up a tight side control hold down; knees into his side, one arm beneath his head, and the other with an underhook to prevent him from bucking or shrimping away.

6.      The underhook arm reaches down as you work his Gi out of his belt.

7.      Pull the Gi under his same side arm.

8.      Take your other hand from beneath his head and pass the Gi to your other hand.

9.      Pull it tightly across his throat, while you push your weight angularly across his chest.

Gi Lapel Hook Takedown with Keylock submission

1.      Your opponent reaches across and grabs a hold of your lapel on your Gi from randori.

2.      Reach inside with your opposite hand and tightly secure his sleeve.

3.      Throw a hook punch over his holding arm, which will allow you to reach inside (obviously in randori there is no striking; however, in a self-defense situation the hook could be utilized).

4.      Swing your hand from the hook punch downward inside his hold.

5.      Take this arm and grab his belt behind him and perform a single leg scoop.

6.      Immediately go to knee-on-belly position (from here you have numerous submissions like Armbars and Leg Locks).

7.      Fold him down facing him away from you, while keeping a grip on his pants and his sleeve.

8.      Place your knees in his back to secure him in place and force his sleeve hand down into the ground (very important). Begin to take your opposite arm underneath his sleeve arm.

9.      Lock up his sleeve arm with a basic figure-four Armlock/ Keylock.

10.  Finish the move by picking him up in the air by his sleeve arm. The pain compliance comes from the knife-edge on your forearm bones.

Ushiro Ryoude Kime - Soto Makikomi (Full Nelson - outside winding throw)
Attacker stands behind the defender and attempts to apply a full nelson hold. Raise your hands above your head Bring your elbows down sharply to your sides and lock the attacker's arms with your arms. Grab the attacker's right arm with your left hand. Turn slightly to your right, and drive your right shoulder up and over the attacker's right arm. Lock the attacker's right arm with your right arm. Shift your right leg backward and drop to your right knee. As you drop to your knee, twist your body leftward to throw the
attacker.
Key Point: The attacker's upper body must be held close to your body as you throw him.
Sensei Robert Puckett

Here is one of my favorite striking combinations and choking techniques for the street.
SIDE NECK STRANGLE
From a on-guard position facing your opponent. Execute a left finger jab to the eyes followed immediately by 3 rapid fire vertical punches (JKD straight blast or modified Wing Chun Kung Fu technique) you then execute a double claw strike, raking his eyes with your thumbs. Step to his left side and/or back place your arm under his right arm and armpit with your right forearm wrapped around the left side of his neck, grip your right hand with your left and "squeeze" executing the Side Neck Strangle, which is a hybrid Rear Naked Choke/Half Nelson the tremendous amount of pressure on the Carotid Artery can induce unconsciousness.

This technique uses a "Hooking Block", upward elbow strike, a pressure point attack and a modified O Soto Gari. If you do not know Osoto Gari you can pick it up on any basic Judo video. If you are a Karate practitioner you can substitute Ushiro Geri (Back Kick) for Osoto Gari - they are essentially the same thing.

Attacker begins with a left jab towards the defenders face. Defender parries this punch (you can substitute what ever block your style prefers. I use Kake Uke - hooking block. Attacker follow with a right hook to the head. Defender steps slightly forward with a rising elbow strike in to the soft tissue of the under side of attackers right bicep.

Now the defender needs to break the attackers balance and put him down.

There is a "pressure point", which I believe is actually a gland, located just beneath the jaw line towards the back. You can find this before you begin practice by running your fingers up along both sides of the windpipe. Then move your fingers towards the back of the jaw. Squeezing in and up towards the ears, your partner will let you know when you find it.

Using this technique as you are stepping forward will bring the attacker up on his toes and slightly backward.

For the modified Osoto Gari version, continue your drive forward keeping up pressure and pulling the attackers right arm back at about a 45% angle. Then step forward with your right foot and execute the sweep. You can also perform a "back kick" shooting your right foot between the attackers legs. Make sure your hip makes contact with the attackers hip. The force of the kick will push his feet forward as he falls backwards.

"SHOOT" DEFENSE SPRAWL TO REAR NAKED CHOKE

This is another favorite of mine against one of the most common Brazilian Jiujitsu tactics the "Shoot" and a common technique used on the Street, Double leg takedown or "Football tackle". I have used this technique numerous times. As your opponent "Shoots" for your legs, you SPRAWL which using his momentum throw your legs back at the same time you bring his head down and then execute a Front Headlock into a GUILLOTINE CHOKE. (Pressure applied using Forearm upward while keeping opponents head down with his head under your right armpit, your forearm is under his throat on the windpipe your left hand clinched to your right wrist while still on ground, not upright)....(note: in a Streetfight or some Vale Tudo matches you may end the fight with multiple knee strikes at this time.) You then spin clockwise to your opponents back, hooking your heels over his legs at the same time executing a REAR NAKED CHOKE.

With your opponent in your guard control his wrist, his right with your left or other side. With your other arm reach for the back of his upper triceps and drag his arm across your chest letting go of his wrist. Pin his arm on floor between your elbow and side.

Open your guard putting your foot on the floor and hip out to get space, next reach across his back grabbing his lat muscle and start to climb to his back, hips first. As you go around put your inside hook (grapevine) in. then as you fully come around put in your outside hook . The hand that was controlling his back now goes to his wrist. You now have his back and can finish with a choke or strike.

If you have trouble getting your outside hook in as you hip out kick his knee out sideways, not back , this will give you some space as you are coming around.

Hora gaeshi -- Cave counter (from Okuden no kata)

Uchidachi approaches from 45' angle and grabs both lapels.

Shidachi : right body turn and drop hips, shift to enter (irimi) with the left foot, strike uchidachi in the face with the right hand palm heel. Your left hand should drift up between his arms same time you strike with the right. Grab uchidachi's head (I usually grab hair) in both hands and jerk straight down, as if jerking his head between his own arms. Drive his head in a straight line down to his feet, as if to place his head squarely between his feet.

This is "helping him duck to enter the cave." As his body collapses, his arms will sprawl, step around him on your left side and apply hiza-ude-gatame by straightening out his (right) arm and kneeling on it at the elbow joint.

This kata is very damaging on the lower spine and hips when done properly. It suddenly contorts his body in a violent fashion, so caution in practice must be exercised.

floating drop throw/shoulder lock pin
1-assume a ready position facing your attacker.
2-block his right punch with your  forearm, then step in with your left foot and grab
his sleeve with your left hand.
3-Put your right arm around the attacker's head and kick your right leg to the outside of his right leg as high as it will go. Have your left leg follow your right leg so that you
have both feet up in the air, your back tight against the attacker's  chest and (for safety sake) his head  tight against you.
4- turn quickly to  your left as you reach   your maximum height to bring  your
opponent  over you and down. Make sure your partner give a kia on this throw.
To set a shoulder lock pin bring your right leg over the lower part of the attacker's
right arm, bending his arm back  (memo) his elbow can be broken  at this point if
he can't bend his elbow  by hooking your right foot under your left knee joint
and  straightening your  left leg. Maintain the head lock.
5-Once his arm is bent, with his palm up, bring your attacker's head and bringing your
left leg up.
6-Continue this motion, bringing your shin back to your body as you lean
forward against his elbow.

Wild Punch Defense-
Dead stop - you are face to face with your opponent he throws a wild face punch to you-you duck under the punch using a circular motion then using your left or right hand depending on what side your facing to them - close your hand in a fist position then breathe outwards and snap your hand into a tiger palm at the same time -contact to zyfoid process area this is a electrical shock type technique dangerous for opponent. Be cautious when using it. use pillow for safety.

The o inch power punch - is used to defend oneself in a life threatening situation only- it is a close combat technique usually within a range of 1 foot away from opponent. in a practice session using ten people you stand in a kibadatchi (horse stance with both hands downward at your sides then when opponent is in a one foot range-raise your hands and snap them into a closed fist on impact at chest level turn your hands to the left of your body at the same time. This technique will drop as many as ten people in a dominos line about five feet backward. Point: to do this properly you must breathe out deeply and slowly at the same time you come in contact on impact. taigung jitsu sensei practice this with pillows.
Soke ed Baranowski

Advanced defense against downward strike

As the attackers arm comes down, intercept its downward motion with an oblique upward deflection, striking the arm on the inside forearm on PC6 (pericardium point number 6). With your other hand, execute a downward strike with your palm heel to a point about 1 inch above the attackers eyebrow, centered on GB14 (Gallbladder point number 14) this second strike needs to only be a light strike, as too hard will cause a KO, and not allow you to complete the technique. Using the hand you struck GB14, reach around and grab the hand that did the downward strike, and apply either an armbar on their elbow by rolling their arm up and under your arm, or shoot under their arm and apply a hip toss.

After striking PC6 and GB14, the attacker will either be ko'd or be temporarily stunned allowing you to use most any technique from your repertoire.

Caution must be observed in striking these points, especially GB14, you should not strike GB14 in practice without knowing how to correctly heal the point, as it is very dangerous, death can occur if you strike too hard, or in the wrong direction.

Air Triangle Choke From Standing Position

The Defender uses a sidearm grab to control the opponents from arm which should be on the back or wrapped around the waist.

The Defender then triangle locks the arms to force the opponent down to one arm.

While the opponent is off balance the Defender then sweeps there front leg (facing opponents face) around the back of the neck while still controlling the arm triangle locks the opponents neck.

Then with the free arm the Defender pushes opponents head and neck towards there front leg and that concludes the Air Triangle.

You can twist and turn this technique to have the opponents arm across your chest or utilize a guillotine choke if the arm is out of reach of just cant reach around to grab it

top/ superior position on your opponent, quickly place both soles of your
feet on the mat on the sides of your opponent. pull him/her toward you
until he/she has posted their hands flat on the ground. Quickly reach to a
guillotine type choke, but instead of choking him/her, snake the same arm
under his armpit. with the aid of your other hand, crank his/her neck and
turn your opponent over applying maximum pressure on his/her neck with
your tricep/chest-inducing a cervical choke!

KAJUKENBO TECHNIQUES

Defensive Techniques

Punch Counter - 7
As the attacker punches, the defender turns into a cat stance and catches the attacker’s hand. He then rotates the attackers arm into an arm bar, and then executes a front snap kick to the groin. The arm bar is then followed with a downward forearm strike to the attacker’s triceps area. Once the attacker is down, he can either be controlled, or have his elbow dislocated.

Grab Art - 10
This is one of the techniques that are used against a boxer or street fighters type grab and hook punch attack. The attacker grabs the defenders right shoulder and attempts to step in and throw a hook punch to the defender’s head. The defender then steps to his right while executing long outward blocks with both arms; the left arm blocks the hook punch. And the right arm breaks the attackers grip. The defender then steps in and executes an upper cut punch to the attackers jaw. He then turns away and executes a rear elbow strike to the attackers solar plexus. He then brings his right heel straight up with a back snap kick to the attacker’s groin. Stepping forward with the right foot, he then does a left back thrust kick to the attacker’s stomach. He then strikes the attacker in the groin with a downward hammer fist. He then steps back and grabs the attacker arm and executes a shoulder throw.

Club Counter - 2
As the attacker steps in to deliver a downward strike to the defenders head, the defender executes an upward X-block and a front snap kick to the attackers groin simultaneously. He then grabs the attacker’s wrist. He then turns and forcibly strikes upward to dislocate the attackers elbow. The defender then hooks the attackers jaw and starts to push his head back in preparation for a takedown. The defender turns and completes the takedown. At this point the attacker is easily controlled. If he continues to fight his elbow can be dislocated, or pressure can be applied to his windpipe until he passes out.

Knife Counter - 3
The defender jumps back as the attacker lunges forward and slashes. As the attacker reverses direction and stabs, the defender blocks the attacker’s wrist. The defender then grabs the attacker’s wrist and punches his hand until he drops the knife. He then executes a sidekick to the knee and knife hand strike to the throat. If the attacker continues to fight he can be choked unconscious, and his elbow can be dislocated.
