It's called a collar tie and in Hebrew: Half clinch
What happens with the collar tie? It allows me to control the opponent
First of all the opponent grabs me here, in the collar tie.
He wants to pull me closer to him, like this.
I don't want to be closer to him, because I don't have any freedom of movement
Like this, I push, to gain some distance. When I have the distance, I grab the wrist with this hand.
And shrug my shoulder.
Grab the wrist, and get near. When I'm near, I'll be putting this hand here
And leaning on him. Ok? so this is the beginning. It's two on one. Two on one.
Now look at the two on one here, the thumb points toward the ceiling.
Because this way he can not grab my hand. If I'm holding him like this, and we're in a tie...
He'll just take the other hand and pull. (That's it..)
Pull here.. use a Te hodoki (hand release)
I don't want my hand to be here for a tie, I want my hand to be in front only for an elbow break (seoe)
So I put my hand like this
Again, the whole process. One... two... three...
Again: one, two, three
Now I've got this. It's very very close to a lot of kata in Ninjutsu. Renyo kata, for instance.
Now I'm getting near, so I can control...
When I'm pushing him downward like this, He'll want to stand up
This is the reaction I'm looking for. Because when he stands up his balance is back..
And then I just block his legs and do a sag throw (tani otoshi)
Get up, and hold in the take ori
It's not such a good immobilization, but it's ok.
Clinch, push, space... hit the face. And I'm in the "two on one".
From here, I sag backwards.
This throw variation is extremely dangerous. There is almost no way for an opponent, in sparring,
to block this throw. So this is the reason I'm leaving him in the middle of the throw.
Because this is a dojo situation, not a street situation.
Kata guruma or, in wrestling terms, fireman's carry, is a simple throw.
It's actually blocking the hand and leg of the same side.
I've got many way to do the fireman's carry, to block hand and leg of the same side.
I can do the traditional... I can jump into fireman's carry... but this is the thing: I'm blocking hand and foot on the same side
Right now I'm going to do something that looks different, but it's kata guruma. Now let's look at it.
From the beginning. Create distance, keep it up, get into "two on one"
Again
Now from here what I'm going to do is this, I'm going to do "duck under"
And lower my level not by using my knees, I'm going to lower my level by doing this.
At the same time I'm going to slide step on the leg that is far away from my opponent.
One... two... and I'm going to leave my opponent in mid-throw
Because if I'm holding him he'll be breaking his neck or dislocating his shoulder
Let's return to basics and see how a traditional Ninjutsu kata, Renyo no kata, can be applied in this situation.
Push, change hands, grab. ok? In traditional Renyo I can do this, but right now I can not do this.
Because he's too deep. I can not grab his palm, I can only grab his wrist. So I grab his wrist
And here I'm in the "two on one". I get out of the two on one, kick him...
I do omote gyaku. Because I kicked him I've got some time, ok? to do the omote gyaku.
...Break his leg, do an O soto geri
So the opponent does a collar tie. Either like this, or he's grabbing
So I open up distance and then change hands and get near
So now, when I'm near, he just pushes my head. He doesn't want me to do anything..
To square, to do anything. So that limits what I can do, I can single leg
but that limits what I can do. So one solution to this is this: I pop his elbow and duck under
Then I trip him and do a sag throw, and open my hands so I will not fall on my hands
I open up distance, change hands and go to "two on one"
Now here I'm clinched with him in the "two on one"... he grabbs my hand
So this makes it a tie, and not a comfortable one. What I do is this: I take my lower hand and grab his
Now I lean towards him so he will lean back and push, this is what I'm waiting for
When he leans back I grab his neck and do a back-step Kubi nage (neck throw)
