"TRES TEW: Hi, my name is Tres Tew. I'm an instructor here at Yeshua's Ryu Martial Arts. Today we are going to be talking about the katana on behalf of Expert Village. Okay, now we are going to show you exactly how to defend against the spear technique. Alright, okay, The first one we came down this time we are just pushing it like this, okay. And I want to take this hand and hook it across pulling it away from the bow and then we are slashing across and up, okay. This slash right here usually if enough pressure is applied will go all the way through, okay. If it doesn't there's a main artery running right there so that is one less spearman to worry about, okay. Go, two cuts. One more time, hook, slash, slash, okay. You can follow through. Do not let him get up, thrust to the leg okay. Now it is another way to defend yourself against the spear thrust. "
