Defense against a double wrist grab

• Drop into a cat stance, to pull the opponent forward slightly, compromising their balance.
• Execute a front kick to the groin, as an atemi.
• Execute inside or outside wrist releases.
  • Be sure to practice both versions.
• Step in, and wrap your hands around the opponent’s neck, pulling them down into a knee kick to the chin.
  • Intermediate students and advanced students can include bonus double tate-shutō strikes, quickly striking both sides of the neck as you reach in for the grab.
