Knife To The Throut: Defense and Disarm
by on May.31, 2009, under Defense Against Weapons
This post follows on from The Basics on Knife Defense, and you should read that one first or you probably won’t follow this one.
From the knife defense ready stance if someone goes for you with a stabbing attack to the head or neck area here is what you should do. Firstly, as with the previous midsection attack I explained, you should block with both forearms by pushing them upwards. Assuming that they have attacked with their right arm you then turn your right hand and grab their wrist whilst uncrossing your arms. You should therefore be holding them so that the back of their hand is facing your palm. Step towards them and simply bring their attacking arm up behind their back whilst using your left arm to grab hold of their neck or shoulder so that they can’t easily step forwards or turn out of the arm lock.
