i can definitely see the possibilities of using shajo as a leglock set-up from those clips. it’s always been a natural set-up for any kind of nengi (and it’s the exact combination that kaneko scored with three times in last year’s all-japan), and using to get deeper inside and engage with the hands is nice indeed. as you’ve probably noticed, we have an extreme shortage of nentai hand techniques.

also, i’ve always cautioned students with shajo that they need to have a lot of power, because if their opponent is able to absorb the force of their kick, they are simply offering him their leg, to do with as he pleases. i’ve demonstrated this countless times in jissen here by trapping weak kicks and twisting the knee, but such techniques do not score, even though they could easily spell the end of a fight. being able to use shajo to set up a a close-range grapple abates the risk of using shajo at close distance.

cool.
