Wadoryu's selfdefense system. I'm not sure if the techniques i'm
presenting are official from the curriculum, but it can be classified
as goshin jutsu anyway. I have no idea why, but mostly goshin jutsu
consists of defense from grabs.
The grab of the wrist or lapel should not be considered to be the
ending technique. This is the control before the actual attack. How
can you be hurt is somebody is simply taking hold of your wrist? In
the kata, you can take your time, in reality this is off course not
the case since the attack will smoothly and immediately follow.
Freeing yourself from a grab is called tehodoki. It is questionable
if the tehodoki would be enough for the kata, or that it should be
followed by a technique.
Grappling styles such as aikido, aikibudo and daitoryu aikijujutsu
empasise on the instant of kuzushi, that is, to unbalance. This "aiki"
is a very refined timing that responds when the grab is not fully
finished. Wadoryu, however originates from Yoshin Ryu jujutsu which
is not an aiki style if i'm correct, so we are not familiair with
aiki movement. We are familiar with the kuzushi factor however.
The most important in goshin jutsu or a practical situation is the
automatic fast response. All kansetsu waza or joint lock technique
is secondary to the defense and the first counter.
To execute this first automatic response training in full effort
is required.
