Defending a Hook Attack: Outside Forearm Disarm

Video Transcript

"A hooking attack from an edged weapon, we're going to deal with this now. We're going to go to the outside. And let's look at a disarm. I'm going to parry that away once again, using both arms; a control hand, and then an angling tool right here. I want to work on a disarm, so I'm going to attack that forearm, by causing a physical trauma that causes the hand to flinch open. I'm here. As I'm here, I've actually got a little tension on there, I haven't quite let it go because I want to know where it's at. I'm teeing it up, it makes it easier to get a grip on it. I'm going to strike down and into that forearm, and as I do that it causes a flinch in the hands. So I'm here, flinch in the hands. You hold that up, get a natural trap, using my entire body to make this happen. Don't just piston your arm out, there's not enough power. Strike down into that forearm. Get a good flinch on the wrist. I'm here, blam. Let's do that one time. Here we go, boom. That is a good arm control and disarm from an outside parry."
