Defense against a double wrist grab

  • Drop into a cat stance, pulling the opponent slightly forward to compromise their balance.
  • Attack the the opponent’s groin with a front kick, as an atemi.
  • Clap your hands together. This prompts the opponent to pull your hands apart to reassert control. Do not resist; immediately reverse direction, pushing as they pull, and clap your hands again overhead.
    • Ideally, this bangs the opponent’s wrists together.
  • Front kick the opponent’s abdomen or solar plexus.
