The defense against a front knife threat uses a similar technic. With our left hand we strike the hand holding the knife in an inward/upward motion and simultaneously a kick is delivered to the groin of the attacker. This defense can be followed by an immediate escape or by more counter attacks. Playing the role of the attacker can be tough sometime !!! Thursday evening, working on knife control and disarm.
Control the hand holding the knife with one hand while immediately making a powerful counterattack (punch the face), then control with 2 hands and disarm. This is a basic Krav Maga technic and one of the first technic that Krav Maga students must learn. However, it is a difficult technic and it requires a lot of practice to be performed well. This technic is important to master because its principle can be applied against many different attacks.
Scooping defense against a low knife stab. This is quite an advanced technic but still it is easy to practice even for beginners because it comes from natural reaction. It is a very dynamic technic, defender has to react quickly with his hand to deflect the knife attack and meanwhile step to the side to move out of the channel of attack. This is an exciting technic to practice in class.
That day we practiced defense against an attacker choking from the side.
Safety in Training: students must be very careful about the upward elbow when practicing this technic with their partner, so no one get injured. Good job everyone! That was the last class of the month. It was fun, with a lot of punching, elbow strikes and some good determination drills to build a combative spirit.
