Ping An Yon Dan Tomonage

Postby milmascaras2 » Wed Sep 10, 2014 12:09 am

Hello Dr. Clayton,
I have a question regarding Ping An Yon Dan, using Sugiyama's numbers, steps 12-15, would a tomonage throw be an appropiate historical alternative to the bunkai described in your book? I ask because given your views regarding ground fighting, a sacrifice throw may not have been contemplated by the Shuri masters, yet the moves lend themselves to teach the technique as such. Young men love the throw by the way!
Thank You

If it works for your students, who am I to say no? You have gripped the opponent with both hands and the kick could place the sole of the foot on the samurai's breastplate. That's most of tomonage. Sit down and flip.

I'm picturing a fully-armored samurai flying through the air and landing on his back, accompanied by the sound of a whole closet of pots and pans hitting a sidewalk. You don't have to grab his lapels. Grabbing the top of his cuirasse will do.
