Tres Tew here, I'm an instructor at Yshua's Ryu Martial Arts on behalf of Expert Village
I'm going to be showing you how to use your jacket or your hooded sweat shirt in a defense
situation. I'd like to talk to you a little bit about using your jacket or hoodie as a
defensive weapon. You would want to use this in a situation where an attacker pulled a
knife on you. The reason being, in medieval situations, excuse me, in medieval times,
in the dark ages a lot of their armor was padded, just simply padded cloth. And that
similar concept can be applied here. If he is coming in with a knife thrust that is going
to be less deadly to me than my open skin. So what I am going to want to do is just kind
of protect myself and there are several different ways I'm going to be showing you how to do
this and they are very effective. But, keeping my body protected through using a padded type
of shield or armor so that when he is coming in the basic principle is I want to use my
jacket as a protective means so that I can get rid of the threat of the knife. Again,
that is when you would want to use either your jacket or your hoodie in a self defense
situation.
