REAR HUG PIN -- DOUBLE WINDMILL

Description

Another good rape defense. This technique begins with tori held from behind with arms pinned. Tori must first free his arms. Start with a loosening technique. From the rear-hug position, the instep-stomp is probably best, or backward head-butt if tori is of similar height to uke. After the loosening technique, tori drops his hips by bending at the knees into a deep knee-bend with feet spread wide apart, while simultaneously spreading his arms over his head. This lowers the shoulders and arms, allowing them freedom of movement. Tori now lifts uke's right arm with his own right arm, rotating them counter-clockwise. The left arm should follow by sweeping first downward, and then, as tori steps back and left to rotate his body to a position perpendicular to uke, the left arm should take over rotating tori's right arm, while tori's right arm draws back to deliver the sakotsu. This is a dynamic, pretty move that really works, but it takes a lot of practice. The drop is critical, and the left arm must not lag too far behind the right, and tori must not step too far back with his left when escaping from the hold.
