Shaved mine to hide bald spot
Frontal hair grab = place both hands on top of their hand pushing the hand hard against the top of your head and fall forward breaking the wrist.
Candan.. that sounds like it would work! Gotta try that!
Dana: Check this out... On the Hagiki uke Hiraken Suki in the opening in Seichin. The first move, the wrist "rolls" under your elbow into a hiraken then "rolls" up again into a Hagiki Uke, then rips back into a chambered Hiraken Suki. now... try this... get a partner with long hair and reach out and grab a handfull of it, near the ends... then, pull it under your elbow, just like in the kata with the wrist cords pointing up (the hair should be on top of the wrist cords), then roll upwards into a hagiki uke. Notice how the hair *wraps* around the forearm. Now... rip it back... (keep the hair wrapped around your forearm, don't let it escape chase it if you have to) use your hip! Once you get that... apply the next move in the kata, the pivot and ko suko geri... so when you rip back, put MORE hip into it with your pivot and kick out the leg with an opposing ko suko geri. Once you get the idea.. practiing abreviating the technique so that you can trap and rip the hair very quickly without having to go through the motions of the kata.
If the person is wearing a pony tail....use the back of your hand to "slap" them on the side of the neck and see where their pony tail lands.....right in your hand!!
