The Wansu Throw
In
the Isshinryu Wansu Kata there is a throw, oft times called the Firemans throw.
This throw is found in other Okinawan systems. An example came from the
writings of Funakishi Ginchin on karate throwing techniques. As you can see
below.
A
good explanation is provided by Richard Pogue Sensei at
Of
course this does not show all of the possibilities. From Sherman Harrill we
find another dimension for these movements. Sherman once against a left punching
attack took the entry into the throw and used the rising right hand as a rising
palm strike into the opponents left lower ribs while the rising left arm became
an rising open hand deflection to the strike, then the body turning movement
allowed the right rising hand to press against their triceps of the striking
arm as your left descending palm pressed against the inside of their striking
arm. This motion became a sizzors effect trapping their arm in a lock and
moving down and up to unbalance them to throw them down.
While
this can be done as in the kata going forward, An option to to step back as
this is performed using the turning of the body to increase the power of the
press.
Again
this does not totally define the possibilities of this movement.
