Bujinkan Waza 捻り返し Hineri Gaeshi Preview

From https://www.rojodojo.com A preview of my Bujinkan video exploring the waza 捻り返し hineri gaeshi. First we warmed up with 前方流れ zenpo nagare, 後流れ ushiro nagare, 横流れ yoko nagare, 立流れ tachi nagare, 逆流れ gyaku nagare, and 順流れ jun nagare.

The feeling of nagare continued with unarmed taijutsu. We deliver a whirling strike with koppo ken to kasumi. It is both an attack and evasion in the same twist, or 捻り hineri.

Then drop the attacker's punch. We take the flow of the attack and direct it to where the balance is weak. This wraps up the opponent’s spirit along with the entire kukan.

Next, we float across to pick up the guarding hand with an 表逆 omote gyaku. Not everybody punches with the guarding hand in the same position. So if the opponent has dropped his guard, or it is inaccessible, lock out the elbow against your own body.

Of Note: I think he's gone hollywood!
