Technique Introduction

The kote gaeshi is a wrist lock throw from Japanese jujutsu that functions as both a throwing and joint-locking technique. The instructor demonstrates this as a response to a double wrist grip attack.

Double Wrist Grip Setup

The technique begins from a double wrist grip position, where the opponent controls both of the defender's wrists. This grip serves as the foundation for the attacking sequence.

Pressure and Mechanical Response

When the opponent applies downward pressure and torque to the wrists, the defender must respond by moving rather than resisting statically. Remaining in place would result in wrist injury as the opponent continues to apply cranking pressure.

Technical Nuances

While the technique appears as a simple forward throw, there are subtle mechanics that make it effective for grapplers who specialize in wrist lock applications. The throw's success depends on understanding these layered technical elements.

Hand Position and Grip Mechanics

The attacker's hand moves to grip the meat of the opponent's palm from underneath, establishing control over the palm and fingers. This grip modification is crucial for transitioning into the throwing mechanism.

Rotation and Arm Engagement

The attacker rotates their body and brings their hand downward in a circular motion, using their entire arm to generate the throwing force. This full-body engagement converts the wrist lock into a throwing action that takes the opponent forward and down.
