Find the right distance.










ukemi: attack with left tobikomizuki jodan.
torimi: perform taisabaki and re-direct the attack backwards with uchi uke jodan.








ukemi: left suriashi forward.
torimi: observe carefully.









ukemi: attack with left sokutei chudan.
torimi: taisabaki to the left and re-direct the attack backwards with a right gedan barai.








ukemi: attack with right gyakuzuki no tsukomi jodan.
torimi: turn around clock-wise180 degrees in taisabaki. Take care not to move your centre of gravity; block in one continuous movement the attack with a right haishi uke and attack simultaneously with a left urazuki.
Take care: haishu uke makes a half circle and re-directs the atack backwards; the actual contact is only at the last moment, then press the fist down and absorb ukemi's power. If performed well, this action will go very smooth. Kiai.
