Re: Making Kote Gaeshi Work - With Resistance

Absorb, Adapt, Subtract and Always Utility

I no longer use a slide rule, an cassette deck or a flying spinning hook kick. Though, I always go back to carrying a big stick.

A wrist or elbow lock:

1. Standing vertically (self)
2. Using push hands (two man)
3. Using footwook (to change locations, multiple attack)
4. Using the plate glass window (using objects)
5. Using the wall (to imprison vertically)
6. Using the ground (to imprison to employ gravity horizontally)

No matter the name, the style, the linage, the teacher, on the ground, in the air, while kicking and punching…or in using "It"...it is still a wrist/elbow technique.
