Women's Self-Defense: Defending Against Knife Jabs

Video Transcript

"Hi this is Sifu Tei and I am going to continue my series on Wing Chun, womens' self defense. We are going to show you what to do if someone is jabbing you with the knife. If someone jabs you towards the stomach, you parry with the Gun Sau as a Wing Chun move, you grab the hand over, turning the wrist, twisting it back, coming in with your knee to the elbow and then striking behind the leg. Again slow motion, you parry, when you bring your hand over to grab, twist the hand back. If you notice from here when she twists my hand back her thumbs are pointing together like a V, pointing to my middle knuckle. This is going to lock up my middle wrist and then she is going to twist it backwards so my wrist is going behind my shoulder to get the lock. From here she is holding on to my arm, my shoulder, comes in with the knee and then a strike behind my knee. Slow motion, grab the hand, twist the wrist back, come in with a knee to my elbow and then a strike, kick to behind my leg, behind my knee. Now full speed. Again. Good. That is how you get out of an attack with a knife jab."
