Thumb Press Technique
[Ube Shioku Waza]
[1/05] |
 |
In
this counter for a hand shake, students will commonly press against the tip of
the thumb & then try to lift the thumb away, thus releasing the attacker's
grip. Unfortunately this approach doesn't work. |
| |
|
 |
Instead,
press the tip of attacker's nail at a 45 degree angle, pushing his thumb down
towards the base of his thumb. Do not try to lift the thumb. [Notice the
positions of my second & third fingers a the base of his hand. They're there
for support.] The pain will force attacker to release his grip & you can
slide your hand out. If you maintain pressure on the thumb tip you can either
execute a simple takedown, go into a variation of hand throw, or a variety of
other techniques. |
