Ukemi: Search for a moment when the concentration of torimi slackens and attack with a tobikomuzuki jodan on full speed and strength. Use the whole body for the attack and try to find strength in seikatanden and the legs. This attack is often weakly performed, because only with the strength of the upper body and arm.
The attack is aimed at the chin. But if you don't move your body forward, it might happen that the chin is hardly touched. Therefor aim at a spot that lies a few centimetres within the chin.
Torimi: Move to the left in taisabaki at the moment of the attack. The movement is driven from the hips and the body moves as one. That means that the feet should also move a bit (suriashi). If the feet stay put and only the upper body moves to the left, you'll be off-balance and you won't be able to perform the next action properly. While the movement is evasive, to become taisabaki it should be performed with the feel of an attack. The movement performed is jodan harai uke ending with the right fist pointing upwards from the elbow en re-directs the fist ukemi past the head (nagashi uke)

Ukemi: move the left leg forward in suriashi and prepare for an attack with sokuto.









Ukemi: attack with sokuto chudan. Bring power into the attack with a hiptwist, driven from seikatanden.
Torimi: make a stong twist with the hip to the left en move the whole body a bit to the left in taisabaki. Block with uchi harai uke, but perform the block with a feeling of re-directing the leg of the attacker towards your rear.





Torimi: as soon as ukemi's foot touches the ground you press his knee downwards with your right knee. Attack the spine with a left shuto and punch a right karasuguchi ipponken (crowbeak-fingerfist) under ukemi's shoulder-blade. Your right elbow points upwards and presses against the right elbow of ukemi. To keep your head protected keep it pressed against his other shoulder-blade.
