What do you do if you are attacked while sitting? 【Shorinji Kempo】

0:00 Look, a man is talking to a woman.

0:03 The woman looks troubled...

0:05 Oh, he suddenly grabbed her hand!

0:11 Are you okay?

0:13 That man did something to you, didn't he?

0:16 He grabbed my hand all of a sudden.

0:18 What a terrible man.

0:19 Yes, I was scared.

0:21 What should you do if you find yourself in danger?

0:24 In that case, "Shorinji Kempo" can help.

0:27 Mio Narumi is a female "kenshi" and actor.

0:32 Yuto Kawashima sensei gives her careful guidance today.

0:36 Today's topic is self-defense while sitting in a chair, right?

0:41 Yes, what you can do while standing up you can also do while sitting down.

0:47 For example, when you're sitting on a train, the person next to you might grab your hand.

0:58 Today, let's try to deal with that.

1:04 It's a technique called "ryaku-jyuji-gote".

1:07 When you are grabbed from the side like this,

1:11 place your elbow on the opponent's elbow.

1:15 Grip the arm from above and put your weight on the elbow.

1:21 This will lock the opponent's wrist.

1:27 Then, strike.

1:28 Mio, is this a technique you have already mastered?

1:33 Yes.

1:34 I see, so you can use this well.

1:39 There is also the case where someone will pull your hand from the front while you are sitting.

1:48 In this case, if your opponent grabs your wrist and pulls you up,

1:52 you can use the method for dealing with when your posture is disrupted.

2:01 That was really painful.

2:03 Mio, that was really good, so try again.

2:18 This looks very practical.

2:21 You move naturally.

2:25 Yes, it's fun.

2:30 She has a black belt in Shorinji Kempo.

2:32 Nowadays, there are security cameras everywhere,

2:36 so you need to be careful not to look like excessive self‐defense when dealing with a dangerous situation.

2:45 It's better to move in close so that it's hard for people around you to see.

2:49 Make it look like “the woman leaned against the man, and he crouched down on the floor”.

2:54 That kind of expression is also part of self-defense.

2:58 Next, hit back with your elbow.

3:05 Then, let go of the hand.

3:07 That looks like a punch.

3:09 Hit with your elbow, then let go of the hand and run away.

3:19 You lean on your opponent, and he falls over and hurts himself.

3:21 It's a scene like that.

3:22 Did her attack hurt?

3:23 If it had been a little deeper, it would have definitely worked.

3:27 It looked like a very natural movement.

3:29 It's important to make it look like you're the victim.

3:35 Mio, you're an actor, so at the end, please act like you're worried about your opponent.

3:42 That way, no one will think you attacked him.

4:00 This man is a bad person, so there's no need to worry.

4:02 How was it?

4:03 Even if you are a woman,

4:06 if you use the momentum of your opponent to throw your full weight at him, he will surely stumble.

4:14 I think it actually works.

4:19 There are other methods that are harder to see from the outside.

4:23 When your opponent comes close,

4:26 stomp on his foot or kick his shin.

4:41 You kick him in the shin.

4:43 Kick and then you do the same as before.

4:51 You use your shoulders to attack him.

4:58 You kick your opponent in the shin so that he can't chase you.

5:02 You aim for both his shin and chest.

5:06 Then you run away.

5:09 Sorry for kicking you so hard!

5:12 It's okay.

5:18 Take your hands off me and run away.

5:22 Do you think this is practical?

5:23 Yes, it seems very useful.

5:25 I have a black belt, so I was wondering how much strength I should use to defend myself.

5:30 It has to look like a legitimate defense.

5:36 This was a very helpful lesson.

5:39 Shorinji Kempo is a martial art for self-defense.

5:41 Therefore, you should only use it when your opponent attacks you first.

5:47 If you use punches or kicks, it may look like you are over-reacting.

5:53 To avoid this misunderstanding, try to get the people around you on your side.

6:05 If your opponent tries to touch you, deflect their hand back like this.

6:12 This makes it easy to see that you are not attacking.

6:20 I've heard of cases where this method was used to deal with an opponent until the police arrived.

6:26 It is said that the person in question was able to control the opponent without fighting.

6:43 As expected, Mio was good!

6:46 Don't miss the next lesson!
