Obscure Claws

Green Belt Technique

This technique is designed where an attacker attempts a rear grab to our right shoulder and pulls us back. The angle of least resistance, then, is to borrow that force and go with it by stepping back with our right foot to a left neutral bow as we claw the opponent’s face with both hands. The first claw will cancel the opponent’s height and width and our forearm and shoulder will act as a check as we do the initial step back. After the double claws to the face, if the opponent is still holding on, we can proceed by stepping forward with the right foot to a right forward bow as we execute the elbow break to the opponent’s arm.
