Karate Counter Attacks: Part 4
These Karate counter attacks include the "waist squeeze", "Arms Pinned", "Front Hair", and "Rear Hair" techniques.
Waist Squeeze Counter Attack
In this situation, your opponent grabs you around the waist and tries to force you down onto the floor.
Before your opponent makes you lose balance, you defend yourself by smashing your head back into opponent's mouth & nose. (Ouch!)
For good measure, kick back with your foot to your assailant's shin.
Once free from the hold, hand slash at his side and also twist your body to force your elbow under his jaw.
Then apply other attacks if necessary.
Arms Pinned Karate Counter Attack
What can you do if your opponent comes up from behind and pins your arms and body?
One counter attack technique you could use consists of quickly snapping your head back, smashing your opponent's nose and mouth.
Then you bring your hands together and push elbows up digging them into his body.
Contender elimitated!
Front Hair Counter Attack
For this exercise, your assailant grabs a lock of your hair (if you have hair, that is...) and starts pulling.
You counter by squeezing his wrist, thereby stopping the hair pulling.
Then you knuckle jab his ribs and kick his shins.
Rear Hair Counter Attack
Your opponent tip-toes behind you and grabs your hair (again, that is, if you have hair!).
To stop the hair pulling throw both your hands above your head and grab his hand.
Follow thru with repeated smashes of the foot to opponent's shin or down hard on his/her instep.
Hopefully, that will be the last time this ingrate will get into your hair!
