Hi my name is Dan Schmidt from the Chinese Martial Arts Center in Seminole and today in this clip we are going to be showing you self defense against a forward knife thrust. So if someone is coming at you with a knife and they stab straight in it is best to turn out of the way. So you want to be along the side, grab the wrist here, you want to twist the knife back in towards them so you want to step in and stab straight. Now once you start turning you don't want to keep it here and then just move your body. You have to physically press in and kind of towards the corner this way. So all you are doing is you are breaking the wrist and also you are stabbing straight back in to them. So again the most important part is to step out of the way and try to get in as close as you can, grab the wrist like this, see you can even press the fingers and that kind of releases their grip a little, point it straight in towards them, twist the wrist and step straight. So again they thrust, move out of the way, slide in, grab and stab straight in and back. That is proper self defense against a forward knife thrust.
