Here are some basic techniques used in the Sabaki Method: Sabaki.Method-.Karate.in.the.Inner.Circle.pdf

• The "Sabaki" Drills: The book outlines specific partner drills (Ido-geiko) that teach you to catch a kick or punch and sweep/grab/push the opponent off-balance.
• Throwing and Sweeping: This is a standout feature. Because Ashihara/Enshin styles allow throws in competition, the PDF includes excellent instruction on how to combine strikes with judo-like sweeps (Tai-sabaki). It bridges the gap between striking and grappling better than most Karate texts.
• Defensive Strategy: It argues against "hard blocking" (clashing bone against bone). Instead, it teaches parrying and redirection, which is crucial for smaller practitioners fighting larger opponents.
