How to Disarm an Opponent with Escrima Sticks

Video Transcript

"My name is Tres Tew. I'm an instructor here at Yeshua's Ryu Martial Arts and on behalf of Expert Village, today I'm going to be talking to you a little bit today about stick fighting or Escrima stick fighting. Now I want to talk to you about using one Escrima stick versus someone who has an Escrima stick. I'm going to show you how to disarm them. A fighting stance. Now they are coming across with a cross strike. What you are going to do is, you are going to catch it right here and then catch it across the wrist, okay. Then you come, strike to the rib maybe, using the butt of your stick and then strike here again, maybe back to the head. Now this, this is where you disarm them. You're striking the forearm right here and at the same time that deadens their grip. So you are pulling it away, striking either here, or here. And you can follow up, but now you have their stick so you definitely have the advantage. We are going to go over that one more time. Here, strike, strike, strike, pull, and then double strike. Okay, and that's how to use one Escrima and disarm another. "
