Shuto Mawashi Uke

[senshido]

The block you are reffering to as far as I am concerned is Yoko Shuto mawashi uke (Mae Shuto is done in front & Yoku Shuto pulls back to the side) as per Bloke & Tmd I was taught this as a block & trap (one hand on top of the other) and lift the attackers leg throwing it back over their own shoulder finishing with shuto strike to the collar bone.

Osu! Senshido,

You must have some fairly flexible folk up in Scotland. If you get my leg anywhere near my shoulder, I'm going airborne! No need for that Shuto!

I know what you mean!!... I'd be upside down and that shuto would be coming down on my groin!!

Now THAT sounds like an effective application!

Osu!

HA HA... perhaps we should write a book......
"Practical application for old slow guys with no flexibility"

Osu!

I think that'd be a real bestseller! We could even hook the Tai Chi crowd.

Brutally Ambushed

Osu!

Thanks to you Dent, my work colleagues think I'm nuts.... Just laughed out loud at the Tai Chi comment!

Osu!

I do what I can, Senshido. Why should your colleagues think differently of you than ours do of us?!

Osu!

oops.

In that case, I'm not too crazy about blocking and trapping low kicks with two hands, as it leaves too many exploitable targets open to the attacker. I'm inclined to believe that any movements that involve twisting motions of the hands probably imply joint locks or release techniques.
