Hiji no bashi (肘延ばし) means to straighten or extend the arm and it is really one of the defining actions of our Jujutsu in Daito Ryu. You will commonly see Teki as if their arms have been locked straight and they look like they are getting an electric shock up their arms (or that is what it feels like) making the arms straight, and the shoulders rise out of their sockets.
