Re: Nodo Tsuki - Throat Push
Sounds like a finger spear strike to jugular notch...or maybe an adaptation of an arc hand strike to trachea .
Applied with control these could create a push effect but to me this seems illogical.
Usually the finger spear is used to distract an opponent - perhaps when gripping both shoulders and pulling one in for a headbutt - then followed up with a chosen combination or takedown.
Arc hand is an out an out strike.
I'd see a push as simply an action to create distance, or to shock an overly aggressive verbal attacked who is closing the distance prior to escalating a confrontation.
If you can reach the throat to push I guess it would make a bigger impression that a shove to the chest.
Putting a weapons head on...maybe this is simply the name for the jo tsuki targetted at the throat?
