6th Kyu Katatori Nikyo Version 1

Lapel grab/ "Second teaching" and pin. The omote version works similarly to Ikkyo, however, it continues by letting Uke rise up and then applying the Nikyo. After the technique is applied, continue moving Uke down to the ground. The Nikyo pin uses both arms to subdue Uke.

Tip: Setting up the pin is easy if you remember that Uke's palm is placed in the OPPOSITE arm fold to his head. Head on the left = right fold; Head on the right = left fold.
