Jujitsu Striking

[kwaichang]

Kotegiash, as I was taught, is a wrist technique, so I'm a bit confused by your explanation.:idunno:

. Backfist or hammerfist to the temple is a common atemi with Kotegiash,

I totally understand this part and can see how it would be applied.

.
and many times the Kotegiash was the set up for the knock out blow.

It's the use of the term "setup" that confused me, as when following through with the technique the uke usually would wind up on the floor without any further strikes.

You take it to right before he loses balance and has to go down, so he's susspended in the side bent position for a brief moment as you hit him and put him out. It's also good when the guy bases out and pulls his arm in to stop you from doing the waza, so then you hit him.
It's flexable=)

Ah, yes, ok, I understand your senario now. Thanks.

We use a lot of striking and it is very very similar to what is being taught in Wado Ryu Karate. Not really suprising, concidering the roots of Wado of course. Karate places much more importance on perfecting the stances however and far less on throws.
