Defense against a pursuit punch

  • Twist inside with a simultaneous (Kūsankū) same-side grasping block to the wrist, and a backfist strike the opponent’s nose.
  • Wrap your same-side hand over the opponent’s arm, grabbing the inside of their elbow. Trap the outside of the opponent’s elbow with the back of your opposite-side hand.
  • Reap the opponent, and immediately apply a shovel pin.
