Defense against a double lapel grab

• Knee kick to the opponent’s groin, as an atemi.
• Press one of the opponent’s elbows down, and twist in that direction. Simultaneously press up on the other elbow for a takedown
  • This is yoko-nage (literally: “side throw”), one of the less-popular aikidō takedowns.
• Perform a stomp kick or other finishing move.
