Aikido techniques on grabs from behind, USHIRO, by Stefan Stenudd

Описание: Ushiro waza are aikido techniques on attacks from behind. Mainly, it is practiced against different kinds of grips, usually with both hands. Here are some basic aikido techniques against several ushiro attacks.

Ushiro is usually practiced in two main ways – gotai and jutai. Gotai is from a static position, when the attacker has completed the grip. In jutai you start moving before that. There are some minor differences on how you move, depending on if it’s gotai or jutai.

It is important to practice both. Some holds from behind can be quite tricky to get out of, and that needs to be tested. If you only practice jutai, you can’t be sure to manage if the attacker actually gets to grip you with both hands.

The way to get out of a firm grip from behind is almost the same on whatever grip. You use the same body turns and similar hand movements in every case. Of course, there are different solutions practiced in the aikido world, but the ones I show here are those that I trust the most.

For clarity, I mostly do the techniques rather slowly on the video. In some cases I go faster, but of course that can be done with every technique shown.
