ATTACK: FORWARD STRAIGHT PUNCH TO FACE

1. shoulder roll - hitch step to outside of uke, stay low, outside arm is on uke shoulder whose arm just punched, roll shoulder as u twist hip down to take off balance

2. prey mantis thing - hitch step to outside of uke as soon as they step, inside arm/hand rolls shoulder, step across/behind uke as other hand is on other shoulder, both hands should be closer to centerline of uke than outside edge of shoulders bring back leg around, hips turn, roll both shoulders as you bring your weight down, uke takes back fall. can lock up by stepping over uke torso, putting back of uke elbow on knee, pulling uke hand/wrist. sensei stephen showed you could repeated hit uke in the head, if that was not enough.

3. sankyu from inside back leg steps into uke's center at same time uke steps + strikes. w/ hands in prayer position, rising up, hand on same side as leg that stepped strikes uke's neck, other hand parries/catches uke striking arm. option of taking lead leg + kicking uke inner thigh + an elbow strike to uke face and gut. after hand strikes, it lifts uke's striking arm @ biceps to create window to pass thru for a sankyu setup. pin uke's striking hand to shoulder with both hands as u step thru. twist body + bring following leg behind + out of way. let whole body create pain in lock, remember to be behind uke when doing this lock. outside hand then grabs uke elbow, brings it down and stuffs it into arm pit, then sneaks under uke's forearm, grabs your other wrist, and bring your shoulders back, creates another lock. then u take down by leading uke wrist down, then placing uke hand on knee. turn knee with uke's hand on knee, and is another lock.

4. elbow take down from inside - back leg steps into uke's center at same time uke steps + strikes. maybe step slightly before + take uke off balance. this time, instead of striking neck, you point elbow to uke's shoulder, fist like listening a phone call, bicep parallel to floor, and you bring body weight down. should not feel forced, as it actually seems very fluid

5a. hitch step in, parry with hands, step across uke underneath striking arm w/ both hands on uke wrist, have uke arm stretched across centerline for an off balance, be sure to be out of ukes way, then bring uke arm down as you put knee to floor. this was very fun. uke takes roll or break fall

6. variation in that you throw arm like a sword, which was very fun. step across uke, but really catch under uke elbow and twist wrist and lift arm up - it creates an off balance, then throw uke.

7. do a strike w/ thumb side of hand to uke's gut as you hitch step, step behind, shoulder to uke bum, both hands on uke ankles, push into bum and pull @ ankles = uke does face fall. then neuter kick + lock with uke foot in crook of other knee and grab uke gi. it seems easier to do face fall when you bend your knees and bring your weight down. it feels scary to do face fall with legs locked and tori is pulling your ankles out from underneath.

* Sensei Steven showed that when uke hits to head 1) hitch step & duck 2) hitting solar plexus with thumb side edge of hand 3) stepping a bit behind uke and grabbing both ankles 4) placing shoulder into the uke's bum 5) leaning into uke and pulling up ankles and causing a face fall 6) neuter uke after fall (groin kick) 7) cross one leg and put foot into crook of other leg and bend that leg over the foot 8) push down on shin/foot and grab gi or hair for lock

8. Lead leg cross behind following leg, while parry from inside, following hops across ukes legs, blocks uke’s ankle as you twist hips down like you’re going to kneel and face faces direction uke is going to roll, but body is perpendicular, blocking leg is stretched out and is perpendicular to uke. Breathe out and you bring arm straight down.
Stay low.

9. Step in and parry with both hands (and following leg step behind and cross, and then twist hips going down to kneel, and leg blocks uke’s leg and they roll perpendicularly to the direction they initially came. I think I’m fuzzy on this one.

10. throw head to ground: taisabaki (?), parry with both hands, arm closest to uke shoulder goes under uke's punching arm + crosses ukes center line and up around ear furthest from tori, other hand does same except goes to uke ear closest to tori, bring head straight to ground w/ weight, lock

11. face punch - ikkyu - inside wrist/hand/arm parries just enough to let punch pass to side of face, other hand goes up center line then onto uke's arm, other hand now brushes/follows uke's striking arm down to wrist, when arriving at uke's striking hand then catch uke's hand w/ little fingers, rotate uke wrist/arm so uke thumb down + bring to opposite hip, inside/lead hand on elbow, apply ikkyu

* sensei said to barbara stand above uke and get them onside by pulling up on arm and standing right behind uke. that way free arm and legs can not hit u

12. face punch - nikkyu, do above, but this time, step a little to side, create bend at elbow, do nikkyu
