Description

So, for those of you wondering how to do a nikyo, lemme explain.

Extend your hand out in front of you, thumb down, palm facing outward. Let your opposite palm grab the top of your outstretched hand. Pull it close to you, bending the arm at an s-curve and trying to make your pinky touch the tip of your nose.

This is called nikyo in aikido, but is referred to as katate hizushi ni in some jujutsu schools. It's a basic pin that really hurts, and causes you to drop to your knees to minimize the pain. Choreography-wise, I was counting on Phill's character to not be very wise in the ways of nige-waza, or techniques to escape joint locks.

This is also my first real use of insane foreshortening to convey energy in a fight scene. It's very difficult to do, and it's something I'd really like to improve on.
