Passai kata applications

(Tomari no passai, part 2.)
 

Sokuto geri (stamp-in):

This is side-thrust kick used against the opponent's knee or shin to break his balance. In grappling with an opponent, step in with great force as if to cut attacker's leg, with outside edge of the foot. 

It is very important to understand how to use your hands when executing this technique. You should jerk your opponent in that manner so that he is off the balance and to amplify your kick. 

 

Tetsui (hammer fist):

This sequence from Passai form can be interpreted as defense against roundhouse punch, shock and subdue your opponent.

First position double upper block (moroto age uke) is simultaneous defense and leap in (irikumi) into opponent, while other hand is prepared for counter-attack. Hammer fist is aimed generally to opponent's head. Most devastating results of hammer fist are achieved if you strike ear and base of the jaw area.

Second part of the sequence (moroto uke - turn and gedan uke) represents torite or controlling techniques. Point of this movement is to subdue opponent with half-nelson hold. Few tips:

1. his arm should be in lock all the time; you can even put a wrist lock if you can at the end.

2. Hold him in subdued position by holding his neck (or hair).

3. Put your knee against his face, so that he don’t have an opportunity to grab your groin.
