This edged weapon defense is another one from straight stab. This is going to be an outside
wrist control. This time I'm off line. Once again this is our primary point. To be off
the line. I'm going to come down and control this now. I want to minimize my motion because
this is a very aggressive moment. I don't want to sit here and turn this into a wrestling
match. It's very unlikely he's going to leave this blade out. He's going to begin to pull
it back so he can use it again. We can't count on him just lunging out there and leaving
it and allowing it some infinite time to do defense. He's going to stab and he's going
to pull it back and he's going to stab me again. So I want to be off the line, grab
this, and as he pulls it back in I turn this in to him. This wrist control right here is
using his inertia as it goes back to drive him back into the ground. I'm here. Back in.
It's an ever shrinking circle back down into him. Had I done this firmly it'll break the
wrist. More than likely before that happens he'll collapse to the ground. As he does I
can take the knife away. Continue a defensive technique, throw the knife, but I encourage
you to keep it. Keep it because that way nobody in the surrounding area, maybe a friend gets
his hand on it. One last time. Off the line, follow the technique. Take it away. And that's
a nice wrist control from a straight stab.
