Defending a Straight Stab: Inside Forearm Disarm

Video Transcript

"For another edged weapon attack or defense from a straight stab we're going to go to the inside now. And we're going to look at another disarm. We're going to use the same principle. Off line as always. This time I'm going to attack the inside of the forearm. It's where I naturally am. And I'm also going to attack the wrist as well. It'll be simultaneous. Obviously it's pretty physically complicated to a degree. But I want to keep the motions nice, short and sweet and to the point. My goal is to strike this here. Cause stretching of the tissue and then cut down to the wrist and as I do that I'll begin to get a nice bend in the wrist. So as Daniel comes in. Boom. Start to stretch it out. Hold on to it. We'll do it nice and slow. Here, just like this. Now, as he comes in. By striking here I stretch the hand out. He'll still have a little bit of control here and by striking into the wrist I get a natural flexation of the wrist which causes the fingers to stretch out which allows the knife to fly away. So once again as Daniel comes in I'm striking into the forearm, down into the arm, down into the wrist, hand comes up, the knife comes out. And that's a nice inside parrying striking technique for a straight stab."
