Defence against a concealed weapon 1

This is a pre-emptive defensive technique designed to prevent an opponent bringing a concealed weapon into play by suppressing the potential attacking arm, breaking the overall balance by pushing the head (or striking) back at 45 degrees and taking the opponent down to the ground on their back. Ideally the opponent will end up pinning their own arm (with the weapon) underneath their body making retaliatory action even more difficult. As the technique leaves the attacker in a standing upright position they then have options to aggressively pursue the defence using body and head stomps, kicks or punches should they feel this is justified. The movement in the technique employs much of the same balance breaking mechanics found in the major outer reap (osotogari) throwing technique and should be executed as a single flowing powerful movement. The aim is to totally dominate the opponent leaving no time or space for them to resist or retaliate.
