Hi my name is Dan Schmidt from the Chinese Martial Arts Center in Seminole and in this clip we are going to be showing you proper self defense against an inward knife slash. So if someone is coming at you with a knife and they slice inward, first you have to block, grab, place the hand on the outside of their elbow, twist the wrist in as you step behind and straight down this way. The most important thing is when they are coming in you can't get scared. Don't hesitate and half go in and half stay out. You have to meet them with just as much force in the middle. Grab, press the elbow, step behind and go straight down. Now you always have to keep in mind that they do have a knife so when they slice inward, they don't just grab anywhere because if I don't grab where they have the most amount of force you can just cut straight in or if I grab very loosely but I'm too tight here he can just escape and bend his wrists. So you want to limit his mobility by grabbing straight on the wrists this way so here he can't really move around. So once again he slashes inward, meet at the wrist, slap around the elbow and straight behind, press straight down. If you notice when you press the knife points straight downward this way. Don't bring it in because even if his arm does break you don't want to stab yourself, you want to go straight downward. So once again he slashes in, grab, press, straight down. That is proper self defense against an inward knife slash.
