Naihanchi Nidan Tuidi ナイハンチ二段取手

Exploring a sequence of 5 movements from Naihanchi Nidan. This portion of the kata illustrates how to address resistance encountered while tying to apply tuidi (joint techniques). Instead of trying to muscle the techniques, the kata shows how to reverse direction and co-opt the attacker’s force while smoothly transitioning into a new technique. In other words it shows how to “go with the flow“.
