Omote Gyaku

Wrist Lock or Wrist Break?
How do I perform the technique “Omote Gyaku“?
Omote gyaku is a primary technique in ninjutsu. It is part of the ninjutsu kihon happo, or basic eight principles .
Omote gyaku is a wrist lock. It happens when the opponent’s hand is manipulated in such a way that the bones of the wrist lock. This causes pain and can become a wrist break if sufficient force is applied.
The following description is meant as a step by step way to practice this kihon happo technique. The mechanics of omote gyaku is as follows:
CAUTION: This is a potentially destructive technique! Do not move quickly and be extremely sensitive to your partner’s body at all times. The locking action of omote gyuaku happens very quickly!
1) Your partner’s position. Have your partner hold their hand with fingers pointing up and their palm facing them (you are looking at the back of their hand).

2) Place your thumbs on the back of your partner’s hand. The tips of your thumbs should be firmly pressed into the small bones on the back of his/her hand that lead from their wrist to their knuckles.
3) Place your finger tips on the palm of your partner’s hand. You will hold their hand much like you would hold a sandwich.
4) Fold their wrist. You do this by applying pressure to bend their wrist and moving their palm toward their forearm.
5) Twist their wrist. At the same moment you are folding their wrist, twist it “backwards”. You do this by pointing their palm behind them. Imagine you are trying to place their palm on the ground four feet directly behind them and then move to make that happen.
Tips for a more effective omote gyaku
- Use your hips to place their palm on the ground. As you are applying the fold and twist action to their wrist, simply turn your body and step in the direction you want them to go.
- DO NOT BEND AT THE WASTE! Use your knees to lower yourself to place their palm on the ground behind them.
The kihon happo is a collection of drills that deepen your understanding of the underlying principles of ninjutsu. These principles will be present in everything you do when learning ninjutsu.
Be careful, be mindful and keep training!
