Ude ju(u)ji gatame

Although you will learn Ude juji gatame in early stage, it includes essence of Shorinji Kempo such as how to use Boshikyu. When this technique works well you can throw a big man very easily.

Ude juji gatame is an offensive technique. You seize your opponent's right (left) hand with your right (left) hand and twist his hand counterclockwise to make his palm face you. Then lock his elbow with your left (right) arm and throw him down.

You seize his hand and twist it. Deliver Meuchi to make him unable to counterattack.	Slide your arm along with his arm twisted till it comes to his elbow. Twist his hand to make his palm turn up.	Lock his elbow and push out your right hand.	Put his waist onto your waist and throw him backward.	Apply Tachi gassho gatame to immobilize him after he falls down.

Tips: You must twist his hand using your Boshikyu to make his palm turn up and even make it face to you. This will make him difficult to punch you with his free hand.  Do not lift your hand up to throw him back.
