ILLUSTRATED METHODS OF ATTACK

RYOKATATORI ATTACK

The Ryokatatori attack has the attacker grabbing both shoulders or lapels of the nage. Like the Katatetori and Katatori attacks this is not merely a hold. This grab is meant to disable and control the victim. The attacker may follow with a knee to the groin, head-butt, an elbow to the face, slam victim to the ground, etc.
