TRES TEW: Hi, I'm Tres Tew. I'm an instructor here at Yeshua's Ryu Martial Arts. I'm going
to be teaching you about how to use open hands to defend yourself against the knife and this'll
be on behalf of Expert Village. Now, I'm going to show you again how to disarm someone who's
thrusting at you. On this one, instead of using an X blocks, you're going to to move
really faster with your feet as soon as they come in with the thrust, you're pushing it
out of the way, striking in at the throat with a ridge hand. Just kind of open hand
strike, maybe strike the sternum of something. From here, you're going to take into an outboard
wristlock. At this point, they're probably letting go with the knife. And what you're
going to do, you're going to take and step back here, set him off balance and then right
through. This can either be a knife strike or you just go ahead, take him to the ground.
At this point, just flip the knife over throw it into him whatever you want to do. Now,
that's how to defend yourself against the knife thrust.
