Tres Tew here, I'm an instructor at Yshua's Ryu Martial Arts and 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. OK, now I'd like to talk to you about using either your jacket or your hoodie,
whichever one you are able to get off first, as a tangle net. What I mean by that, if Nick
were to throw a strike at me, I'm going to tangle his knife up and I can either wrap
it again or I can just trap it down. Also I can tangle his entire body up by just throwing
it. He's unaware of what's going on. I've blocked his vision, I've tangled up his knife
hand, he feels like he's restricted in some way, it's not an actual restriction, really
it is more of a psychological thing. When I throw this on his knife hand he feels like
he's trapped the knife up again himself. From here I can come and strike him in the face
or strike him in the body, the leg and gain control of the knife hand. Also, I can do
a disarm, just kind of grab the knife. As you can see I have the knife here but I've
tangled it up and I've used it in that manner so I can kind of keep him from attacking me
again with the knife. And that's how to use your jacket as a tangling weapon.
