I was doing some reading on Karate takedowns and I found the Yahara Crab Claws, which is basically a scissor takedown. So I dug deeper, and this is what I found:
"Mikio Yahara is a Japanese Shotokan karateka and Chief Instructor of the Karatenomichi World Federation. After graduating from Kokushikan University, he became Kenshusei in the Japanese Karate Association and had a competitive career from 1974-84. In April 2000 he established the Karatenomichi World Federation (KWF). The KWF is a Shotokan karate association that is dedicated to developing technical excellence. Yahara believes that the purpose of Karate is to be able to destroy an opponent with one killing blow." - Source: Wikipedia

I'm loving his reaction speed and raw aggression Zeke
