"Tres Tew here; I'm an instructor at Yeshua's Ryu Martial Arts and on behalf of Expert Village, I'm going to be showing you how to use your jacket or your hooded sweatshirt in a defense situation. Now in these videos, we have gone over several different ways to use your jacket as well as your hoodie. Again, I just want to touch on these points, using the grappling tool, using the shield, as well as using the shield plus the grappling tool, and also how to use your hoodie when you pull it over your head. All of these are very effective tools, again, only to be used when you really have to; if there's no other weapon at hand, and someone is attacking with a knife. Again, be safe. This is the most important part of your training. If you hurt a friend or your training partner, you'll feel really bad about it. Also, make sure that your hoodie or your jacket is of good quality. And, again, have fun and be safe. "
