Description of Ura oni kudaki

  1. The defender grabs the opponent's wrist from the inside with the opposite hand (e.g, left hand grabs the opponent's right wrist).
  2. Using his other, non grabbing hand, the defender bends the opponent's elbow to create a 90 degrees angle.
  3. Sometimes it is optional for the defender to enforce the opponent's bent elbow by grabbing his grabbing hand's inside elbow with his other palm.
  4. When the opponent's elbow is bent the defender turns and forces the opponent to fall backward or dislocate shoulder.
