Picture 8. Elbow locking technique (variation), shown in Bubishi, "48 techniques" (#26).

Picture 9. Head manipulation technique ("48 techniques", #4) is an efficient way to bring your opponent down. This movement can be found at the beginning of kata Patsai.

Picture 10. One of basic throws in karate. The popular name is osoto gari, also Funakoshi uses Okinawan name byobudaoshi (Karate do Kyohan) and there are several different variants of this technique. Bubishi, "48 techniques", #17, also can be observed in kata Kushanku, Naihanchi and Wanshu.

Picture 11. The throw that I prefer to call sukui nage is variation of throw presented in Bubishi (#11 or #22). It can be done by grabbing opponent's testicals, also. Similar throw is in kata Wanshu (Empi), (kosa dachi - gedan tsuki, and then gedan barai).
