Elbow lever: Ude hisigi hizi gatame

Advantage: Relative secure fixation of the aggressor Also applicable in the ground Technique can be rapidly released Disadvantage: The defender is also at the ground Lack of overview of the surrounding area Contact point to the aggressor is only the arm

Here the aggressor will be fixed in the supine position by an elbow stretch lever and pressure on the triceps tendon.
By a wrist turn lever the aggressor is brought to the ground.

Use at diagonal grip to the wrist:

The grip to the wrist is loosed by a inner rotational motion, with the help of the non fixed hand , doing this the fingers press onto the inner wrist. The loosed hand also grips the hand of the aggressors. By a strong pull, the arm of the aggressors is stretched and the hand is rotated outwards (Wirst twist lever), doing this the aggressor is brought into the supine position.

The stretched arm of the aggressor is fixed in the direction of the head on the ground, the tip of the elbow joint points upwards. The defender is located next, at the side, to the stretched arm and he sets his index finger base joint just above the elbow tip onto the triceps tendon of the fixed arm. By pressure downwards and pull of the bended hand of the aggressor upwards, the lever takes effect. It is possible to perform a supporting hand locking lever (Kote mawashi irimi) at the bended wrist.

Important is, to keep the shoulders of the defender stiff and parallel to the fixed arm. Both arms of the defender are stretched.
