Aikido Protective Moves


Aikido has many protective moves and here are some of the moves. You can use these to disarm your opponent.

1) Kotogaeshi (the wrist return). You have to place a wristlock and throw that will stretch up to the extensor digitorum. 2) Iriminage (the entering-body throw). You have to move into the space where the uke or the opponent is. This classic move resembles the clothesline technique. 3) Kokyunage (the breath throw). The various types of “timing throws.” 4) Koshinage (the hip throw). You have to drop your hips a little lower than the opponent or the uke. You then flip the opponent with a resultant fulcrum. 5) Tenchinage (the heaven and earth throw). The levels that the hands will reach. You have to grab both wrists and then moves forwardm grabbing the hand low and the other high. This unbalances the uke, which will cause him or her to topple over.

6). Shihonage (the four-direction throw). The hand is folded back past the shoulders and then afterwards locking the joints in the shoulder. 7). Kaitennage (the rotation throw) you have to move the arm backwards until the shoulder joints are locked. You then use this position to add pressure. 8) Jujinage (the throw). It is characterized by a throw that locks the arms together. This is called shape like a 10 throw because of its cross-shape, which looks like 10 in kanji.

That’s all some of the aikido protective moves.
