Ahuara (Short Stick) - two handed overhead attack


Your opponent (left) attacks with a two-handed overhead swing.



You defend with your stick held in a cross block above your head.



Let go of your stick with your right hand, circle it down, and to the left, continuing the circle around to catch the outside of your opponents right wrist



Continue the motion, pulling your opponent to your right, twisting his wrist clockwise, pulling him off balance, and out of position to continue his attack.



While still pulling your opponent off balance, load your left hand (still holding the stick) for a strike to the elbow.



Use your stick to strike the outside of his elbow, breaking it.
