Defense 3:

- Technique 1: haishu nagashi uke - shiko dachi
- Technique 2: urazuki (age)– shiko dachi.
- Tech. 1 and 2 occur simultaneous.
- Objective: practise of taisabaki ending up on the inside, kobo ichi.
- Note: This is also training to quickly change your technique. Relaxation and tension are thus a priority here. Quickly relax and dropp the jodan uke to kamae to prepare for the nagashi uke. Dropp it over seichusen and keep controlling it. Actually you are forcing uke at this instant by covering chudan so he has to attack jodan.
- Note 2: Nagashi uke parries the attack in the original direction, this is the set-up for urazuki. If the attack was deflected, the urazuki would probably miss its target. Therefore, by using this nagashi uke you are positioning the attacker to receive urazuki. If this is not sufficient, one is doing it wrong. In that case, correct your movement at the time by entering to correct distance if that would be the problem. Don't keep correcting each other, look for the problem. However, adjusting is a sign of alive technique.

The nagashizuki also originates from tanden, so, essentially the power from tanden is transferred into the opponent using nagashizuki. The body just follows this technique and therefore the body moves off Seichusen.
- Technique 2: mawashigeri. Take care to correct the distance in one motion.

- Objective: the primairy importance is the nagashizuki
