Ushiro Ryohijidori Kokyuho (Static)

Jan 27
2012

This is similar to ushiro ryokatadori kokyuho, except Tori‘s arms are effectively halved because of where they are grabbed. This is okay though. With whichever leg is forward, Tori slides forward (ayumiashi) and at the same time raises both hands together as if to pray, but his hands are in front of his forehead. The forward slide is important to expose Uke into Tori‘s view, even if just a little.

Tori then does a kaiten (okuriashi tenkan), but either does two tenkans, or makes one big one. At the same time his arms are raised like described above. Tori threads his outside arm through Uke‘s grabbing arms during the tenkan and ends up in gyakuhanmi where he can complete the kokyuho.

A key point is to raise both elbows to head height.
