RIGHT, LEFT -- FRONT HADAKE JIMI
Description
This is an extremely dangerous technique and should be practiced with extreme caution. Various Arnold Schwarzenegger films have made this move fairly well known. In begins when uke throws right and left punches at tori. Tori blocks the right blow with his left hand, and then, while blocking the left blow with his right hand, tori simultaneously moves his left hand behind uke's head and pulls it forward and down. While the left blow is still being blocked, tori continues the forward and downward pull on the back of uke's head. Once the head has been brought to the point where tori can easily do so, tori should slide the right forarm (just returning from blocking uke's left blow) under uke's chin and across uke's neck. The left hand comes down to grab the right hand in a palm-to-palm grip, and tori should now thrust his right hip forward and move his foot in a small 'u' to cause his pelvis to face perpendicular to uke, so as to avoid groin strikes. From thes position, uke can be choked out by upward bicep pressure of tori's left arm. This hadake jimi can be made more effective by a slight wrist rotation of the right hand to make the space between throat and wrist smaller.
Steps
- Uke throws right blow.
- Tori blocks with left shuto-uke.
- Uke throws left blow. Tori simultaneously brings left hand behind uke's head and brings it forward and down.
- Tori blocks left blow and continues pull with left hand on uke's head.
- As uke's head becomes about level, tori should slide his forearm under uke's neck, and grab his left hand in a palm to palm grip.
- At the same time, tori moves right foot in a small 'u' to bring his right hip forward and pelvis facing perpendicular to uke.
- Uke's head should be held securely by tori's right forearm underneath uke's throat, tori's right bicep on one side and to the back of uke's head, and tori's hip on the other side of uke's head.
- From here, the choke may be applied by applying pressure to uke's throat. The three forces that accomplish this are: 1) Tori's left bicep prying up on the right forearm. 2) Tori's right wrist rotating upward to make the space smaller. 3) Tori's hips thrusting forward such that the head is pulled down (by tori's right bicep and shoulder) while the neck is pulled up (by uke's right forearm).
Variations
This becomes a simple and effective neckbreak a la Arnie if tori puts his forearm across uke's face instead of across uke's neck. When the forearm is across uke's face, the head is not allowed to face forward, instead it is forced to turn in the direction of uke's right forearm. This puts additional pressure on the neck because it is twisted. Then, tori may thrust forward more with the hips and lean back more with the shoulders - producing the Arnie Effect. Please, don't try this at home.
