Tres Tew here. I'm an instructor at Yeshua'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 sweatshirt in a defense
situation. Okay, now, holding your hoodie how we just showed you earlier, after you've
pulled it off and created distance, giving yourself plenty of time to pull it off, if
your attacker comes in with a knife thrust, you are simply going to push down like so.
You are attacking right here at the forearm or at the knife, pushing it down. This is
very effective. From here, you are just kind of shoving it out of the way, striking with
the palms right here, and from here, you are just taking this right here (your grappling
tool) and pushing down like so. So, we are going to go over that one more time in slow
motion. Push down, strike and then push down into there. That's how to use your hoodie
held like so to defend against a knife thrust.
