How to Do Wrist Bends in Ninjutsu
Ninjutsu is a traditional Japanese style of martial arts originally meant for military use. It is taught and learned by many people in today's society who are looking to train and use their bodies with quick movements. Learning how to perform a Ninjutsu wrist bend will be a helpful skill.
To perform a wrist bend in Ninjutsu, follow these steps:
- Place the hand on the closer side the attacker is grabbing over the attacker's hand and wrist. For example, if the attacker grabs the right side of someone, they should use their right hand to top the attacker's wrist, and vice versa for the left side.
- Step backwards when the attacker moves to attack with their opposite hand. As the defender is steps backwards, they must strike with their free arm not placed on the attacker's wrist.
- Move the attacker's first arm, the one that is being held by the wrist, across the bodies of the attacker and defender. This will put the attacker's free arm furthest away from the defender, preventing another attack.
- Turn the attacker's wrist upward, and then continue to twist it. The attacker will follow the movements of their wrist to try and prevent it from breaking. When the attacker tries to follow the movements of his or her arm they will fall to the ground, as their arm is being pushed down with such force. This will allow the defender to step back and prepare for their next move or run for help if being attacked outside of a Ninjutsu training center.
