Kusanku Kata
The Neck Strike with Parry
Looking at the Usheiba Morhei 1935 Aikido Atemi
strikes
It was very clear to see how they fit the Kusanku
Kata,
Neck Strike with Parry.
These movements make for a good throwing technique.
But there is a different variation that even uses
the kata motion even more.
When you execute the Parry to your head and strike
into their neck,
With a strike into the neck with a counter-clockwise
motion,
As the pressure of that strike turns their head
away,
What you do is press down on the top of their spine,
This forces them downward,
Then as they drop,
You press your knee into their neck,
Forcing a strong pin as you kneel over them.
And of course this does not even begin to describe
All of the options available.
