Okinowan Isshinryu - Open handed block
Attacker comes at you with wide grab/strike, you block at the wrist with your same-side hand.

He attacks with his other hand, use your same blocking hand to block and take control of his arm.

Reach over his arm with your free hand, pushing down if necessary at his crease, to bend his arm.

Continue reaching through, and take control of the attackers shirt at the neck.

Push his arm against your arm holding at the neck, levering him over backwards.

Continue pushing, throwing him on his back.
