🇺🇸 THROAT grab STRAIGHT punch defend/ takedown control🇺🇸

[@GordonBraicks]

You explain all the techniques really well. Often the secret is in the footwork.

[@NickKano11]

I like the focus on going to the side/ towards the back. If for whatever reason the technique doesn't work, you're in a safe position so they can't hit you, and you can follow up with something else.

[@ShihanTomCallahan]

exactly….you always need to be in a position to follow up if needed. Thanks for your comment.

Osu gentlemen! Great to see you both in this video! Takes me back to the Arnold when i met you both in person. Osu! Teaching my student tonight, we'll have to go over this technique. Thank you both for posting, Kyokushin 4 life! Osu!

[@ShihanTomCallahan]

OSU! Great to hear from you

OSU shihan, what i like to do is an upward elbow strike to the triceps after the wrist grab, thank your for the explanation

[@ShihanTomCallahan]

@@medk many options yes

[@BITESIZEJONES]

6:20 we don't necessarily use the thumb for better grab ?

[@ShihanTomCallahan]

depends what kind of grab. this is a variation of the monkey grip as the wrap around thrumb is not only restrictive but easier to break through the gap. I use both. gable and monkey. allows my wrists to move more freely

[@BITESIZEJONES]

Im in Orlando but I'd love to drive out there and pay for a class. Is that possible? Maybe bring my Son too. I'm 53 he's 18
Thanks,
Carmen
