Shirt Grab and Punch Counter
Situation/Description
The attacker grabs your shirt collar, threatens you. It is also likely that he will try to throw a hooked punch with his opposite hand. (Classic Bully Shirt Grab, Threaten, and Swing situation)

Steps:
1. * When the attacker grabs your shirt with one hand, quickly trap his hand to your chest with your triceps on the side that he is grabbing. Keep the hand up expecting the punch that he is likely to follow up with.

*At the same time raise your other hand also to protect yourself from the hook punch, thrown by his opposite arm. You now have his grabbing hand trapped, and two hands up ready for the hooked punch.

2. Block the hooked punch with your free arm; simultaneously, wrap your trapping arm, around his grabbing arm, above his elbow. Continue the circular motion of your arm and push his triceps from the back in a forward and downward motion while turning your body. This will give you control of his shoulder joint.

3. Swiftly bring him downwards, towards the floor. In order to further neutralize him you may knee him in the face or punch his face on the way down. Once he is on the floor, if he is still a threat to you, you may continue the forward motion and dislocate his should joint.

4. Remember this move is for defensive purposes only. Do not try this unless you're properly trained, or have proper supervision.

This move demonstrates the simultaneous attacks and blocks that makes Krav Maga such a deadly self defense combative and martial arts.

Specifically this is a very common move that will serve you well in the face of danger by any bully. Its truly a tool that when used properly will result with a bully beat down (beatdown).

  • Nicely done. I personally teach to cover in this case the right side of head (right arm forearm against temple) thai block and enter with the sharp elbow to the sternum or face. Control, attack and takedown . But your solution is very nice as well. I will look at your other vids. Be well.

  • @FrontlineKravMaga

    That sounds like another very interesting and useful approach.

    If you put out a video demonstrating, be sure to leave it as a video response to this one.

    Thanks for the support. :-)

  • Thanks a lot for the support.

    We put up these videos so that other martial artists can learn real defensive combative moves. We are not looking for tons of views. After being really frustrated with the other Krav Maga videos on YouTube, we decided that we just want to display and teach other people our techniques, in a simple way that anyone can understand.
