The Gyaku is performed combining 3 points of pressure.
- The horizontal twisting of the wrist commonly associated with a wrist reversal
- A Take Ori type feeling, collapsing the palm towards the inner arm
- A crushing feeling applied to the hand trying to fold it in half so the pinky touches the thumb.
With these 3 points of pressure, direct the energy towards the attacker’s feet. Do not grab the hand and get caught up fighting over it. Hold and “Roll” the attacking hand like Dough. Keep moving. Moving towards the attacker provides assistance in bending the elbow and making them go straight down. When the elbow is bent aim for the rear triangle.
