NO. 17 - HEAD HOLD
Approach
your opponent from the front.
- Keeping the fingers of your right hand straight and thumb extended,
strike him on the left side of his neck with the inside of your
right forearm (Fig. 61). This blow will render your opponent "punch-drunk"
or dazed.
- Immediately after delivering the blow with your right forearm,
slide it around your opponent's neck, simultaneously stepping
across his front with your right leg, bending him forward from
the waist and catching hold of your right wrist with your left
hand (Fig. 62).
- Force your right forearm bone into the right side of his face
(anywhere between the temple and the chin will do) by pulling
on your right wrist with your left hand and forcing downwards
on the left side of his face with your body.
Note. - Observe that the outside of your right forearm is resting
on your right thigh and that the weight of your body is being forced
on to your right leg by pressure from your left foot. Any attempt
of your opponent to seize your testicles should immediately be countered
by a slight increase of pressure. If necessary, apply an edge-of-the-hand
blow as follows: Release your hold with your left hand, straighten
up slightly, and apply the blow on the left side of his neck.
NO. 18 - HIP THROW
You are facing your opponent.
- Seize his equipment, amis, or clothing slightly above the height
of his elbows. Pull down with your right hand and lift up with
your left hand, pulling him off-balance. Simultaneously shoot
your left leg as far as possible behind him, keeping your left
leg rigid and close up to his thigh. Take care that your left
foot is pointing as in Fig. 63.
- Continue the downward pull of your right hand and the upward
lift of your left hand, at the same time bending forward and downwards
from your waist towards your right foot. All the above movements
must be one rapid and continuous motion and will throw your opponent
as in Fig. 64. Follow-up with a kick on his spine with either
boot, somewhere near the small of his back.
Note. - A.n alternative method of applying the Throw when dealing
with an opponent approaching you on your left side is as follows:
1. Seize his equipment or left arm with your right hand and pull
downwards, simultaneously striking him up under the chin with your
left hand (Chin Jab) and kicking his legs from under him with a
backward kick of your rigid left leg, as in Fig. 65. This will throw
your opponent back-wards with smashing force, after which it will
be a simple matter for you to dispose of him in any manner you may
wish.
NO. 19 - WRIST THROW
Because of the unusual manner in which your opponent's hand is
seized at the initial start of this throw, you should first learn
the hold as follows:
- Force your left thumb into the back of your opponent's right
hand, between the small bones of his first and middle fingers,
your fingers passing around to the palm of his hand.
- Force your right thumb into the back of this same hand, between
the small bones of his middle and third fingers, your fingers
passing around to the palm of his hand.
- Bend his hand towards him by pressure of your thumbs on the
back of his hand and backward pressure on the palm and wrist with
your fingers (Fig. 66).
- Retain your hold with your left hand, take your right away,
and permit his right arm to hang naturally at his side. (Remember,
this is only practice.) You will then be in the position shown
in Fig. 67. (Back of your left hand towards your right-hand side,
your fingers around his thumb towards the palm of his hand, your
thumb forced in between the small bones of his first and second
fingers.)
- Bend his arm, by a circular upward motion, towards your left-hand
side, turning the palm of his hand towards him;
then force both your thumbs into the back of his hand (Fig. 66).
- Applying pressure on the back of his hand and on his wrist
(as in 3), force his hand towards the ground on your left-hand
side. This will throw him on to his right-hand side. To finish
your opponent off, jerk up on his right arm, simultaneously smashing
down on his lower ribs with your right boot (Fig. 68).
NO. 20 - BACK BREAK
- Approach your opponent from his left-hand side, bend your legs
slightly, reach down, and seize him by passing your right arm
over .his chest and your left arm under his legs, just behind
the knee, as in Fig. 69.
- Lift him up, mainly by straightening your legs, as in weight
lifting, to approximately the height of your chest, as in Fig.
70.
- Take a short pace forward with your right foot, bending your
right leg so that the upper part (thigh) is approximately parallel
to the ground. With all the strength of your arms, assisted by
the forward movement of the upper part of your body, smash him
down on your right knee and break his spine (Fig. 71).
Note. - If you carry out these directions correctly, you will be
surprised how easily you can lift a man much heavier than yourself.
You are partially aided by the fact that your opponent will instinctively
try to save himself by clutching hold of you with one or both hands.
Provided that you use the weight of your body in your downward smash,
he cannot prevent you from breaking his spine.
