12. DEFENSE AGAINST LEFT-HAND GRIP ON RIGHT WRIST, OR RIGHT-HAND GRIP ON LEFT WRIST (ADVANCED). -- The original hold is the same as in Figure 6-1. This time, however, your defense will be such that you can take your opponent prisoner. Reach across with your left hand and grasp your attacker's left wrist as illustrated in Figure 7-1. [Technical comments: Defender is using two hands against one; Attacker's counter could be a palm slap to Defender's hand, or, if he is more aggressively inclined, simply stepping into Defender, locking his arms and threatening his head.]
The close-up in Figure 7-4 shows you the proper hold on your opponent's hand. [Technical comments: The crossed thumb grip is strong, and works well on an untrained and unsuspecting opponent.]
The pressure, when it is necessary, will be applied toward your opponent's forearm rather than to either side. Your elbows will be kept close to your side. All pressure will emanate from the shita-hara. You can now march your opponent anywhere you see fit. He is your prisoner. [Technical comments: This conclusion is exaggeration, as if Attacker puts his thumb on his little finger and then steps forward using the hip rather than his shoulder, he escapes this grip quite casually.]
As you turn the wrist, the thumb of your left hand is placed in the center
of the knuckles on the back of your opponent's hand. As soon has your opponent has been forced to turn his back partially to you, you will then reinforce the hold with your left hand with an identical one with your right hand. This will bring you to the position illustrated in Figure 7-3. [Technical comments: This is katate tori-"C".] more lessons
