So the core of the most common drills is the opponent throwing attacks and we parry/step in and some combination of grab the arm/gi collar/hooking neck and do a takedown. So say you throw a front kick at me, I do a gedan barai/parry to turn you, as I do that I am stepping in to grab your arm/hook your neck and from there can do a takedown. In terms of drilling, what we often do at my Enshin dojo is the following:Ĭountering the attack. Using angles to counter opponents blind side/momentum essentially. Your summary of what Sabaki is in pretty much correct. Particularly Ashihara and Enshin practicioners. What are some drills you used to coach sabaki? Parrying kicks and circling into the flank postion.Parrying a punch and lunging then circling into the flank position.Parrying committed, typically chest level, punches and attempting to redirect the opponent as much as possible.Doing the same thing to a pad holder who is only placing his pads on targets vulnerable from the deadside/flank position.circling in an anticlockwise direction a partner who is moving freely with increasing intent and speed.Circling a stationary object anticlockwise.Some common drills we used when coaching sabaki:

The central idea of sabaki, as I understand it (enshin/ashihara guys feel free to contradict), is to use footwork and parries to stay in an advantageous deadside/flanking position thus allowing you to strike and unbalance the opponent maximising your advantage while minimising the damage you take.
