American Isshinryu - Defense against punch w/Take down.


Block attackers punch.



Use your blocking arm to wrap your opponents arm.



Be prepared to block a strike or grab from your opponents free arm, his last defense now that you've got his other arm wrapped.



Step past your opponent between the wrapped arm and his body. Pull the wrapped arm away from him, taking his balance, and use your free arm to "clothesline" him in the neck, bringing him down to the ground.
