Also, with the pendulum parry, your wrist is facing up rather than down leaving much less meat on your arm available to be sliced, if you are not successful with avoiding getting cut while parrying. It seems awkward at first, but it's really designed to afford your opponent as few of viable targets as possible when parrying this way. I'm not a teacher or anything, but that's what I remember about this.
@SayocNorCal fair enough, I know very little about silat/kali style martial arts and techniques like this one, the tactile sensitivity concept is a new one to me, just personal training experience and research lead me to be wary of intercepting a knife arm at the wrist, well above my personal skill level for sure, you could'nt suggest link to a live fire video by any chance? That is on where the attacker comes at random with speed, can find many done in this style, Thanks for replying
@TheZappmann Anytime :) You don't have to intercept at the wrist. We teach new students to do this because it is easier to track the blade this way at first. The person with the blade is forced to change their their attack by moving their own arm to get around the parry. If you parry the knife arm anywhere else, the person with the blade doesn't have to move their arm as much to change the line of attack. This type of parry is done often, but is more advanced.
@TheZappmann The parry shown here can, of course, be defeated/countered - just like any parry can. We do show some freeflow in another video where I am feeding attacks at ramdom. We are not going full speed, but you can see the cross-body parry at work with random attacks and you can also see how those can be defeated. Like anything else, you have to start at a certain point and evolve :) Youtube doesn't allow links in comments so just view "Sayoc NorCal Freeflow - Receiver Concepts"
@SayocNorCal Just viewed that suggestion, skillful, skillful stuff, not quite the same as anything i've seen before, I like how you hold speed with the attacking partner and dont get into the old game of 50% attack to 100% defence. Wasnt really appreciating the fluidity of movement used in your first demo when I viewed it before and how that redirecting motion works. Just had this nasty image of that blade and your forearm. Thanks for taking the time to explain further, all the best :)
@SayocNorCal sorry, I meant to say that "I am *receiving* attacks at random" in the video mentioned in that last comment ("Sayoc NorCal Freeflow - Receiver Concepts")
I think I got ahead of myself,I was thinking of the 1st.move when it reaches center, his elbow was ready for control.but thats not your aim for this video .
I would rethink that entry .You are giving him the inside of your arm.
He's not even near your targets .I'd use footwork if he's that far away before i'd tap or use a projectile. Not trying to down you ,just want another viewpoint .I hope questions are not offensive .
Thanks for your comment. We use the cross-body parry as a way to more easily track the blade as we enter.
If one only uses footwork, you cannot enter to attack. We want to be able to, as quickly as possible, become the person who is determining the course of events (The Feeder) and you MUST to be able to track that blade as you enter. If you only try to evade, you will eventually be overrun...
There is another video we have that discusses why we teach the cross-body parry first. (it doesn't let me link to it in these comments) called cross-body vs. same side.
Regarding exposing your arm - there really is no way to not expose the inside of your arm to a blade. It doesn't matter what position your arm is in, the person with the blade can reach the inside of the arm with the blade, especially with a forward grip.

Wont u just get ur wrists sliced with that pendulum trap?
TheZappmann 1 year ago
@TheZappmann Thanks for commenting!
Sliced with the pendulum tap as opposed to what? There is always the chance of getting cut when dealing with a blade.
This is a starting point for learning how to track (via tactile sensitivity) the blade hand. :)
