AIKIDO TECHNICAL TIPS
ILLUSTRATED METHODS OF ATTACK

USHIRO-TORI EXERCISES AND ATTACKS

Ushiro is a term meaning behind or back. In Aikido, Ushiro exercises help prepare the individual for attacks from behind.

These attacks from the back may come in the various traditional forms that are available for viewing:

Ushiro-tori - bear hug attack

Ushiro Katatetori - grasping the wrists

Ushiro Hiji-tori - grabbling both elbows

Ushiro Tekubitori Kubishime - grasping one wrist and using the other arm to wrap around the victim's neck and choke.

Ushiro Katatori - grabbling both shoulders

In preparation for good movement and timing, Ushiro exercises are excellent for practice.
