schön, aber nix davon würde funktionieren, wenn der messermann auch mal mit der freien hand zuschlagen würde...

[HertaoNOLA]

@fewag Das ist nicht ganz richtig. Es gibt viele Techniken, die man anwenden kann, wenn der Angreifer (mit dem Messer) seine freie Hand benuetzt, aber diese Techniken sind nicht Teil dieses Videos - was eigentlich offensichtlich sein sollte. Das Video ist nur ein kurzes Beispiel fuer den Basisdrill.

This is not primary tapping...The primary tap comes from the Pakal grip, it is "knife to knife tactics", this is the secondary and tertiary taps, something that is learned later. If you do not know the primary tap, then you have not trained properly. Tim Waid went over this at every seminar I have been too... Don't be an internet martial artist.

[HertaoNOLA]

I demonstrate the use of the primary hand at the beginning of the video, and then explain why I prefer to use the secondary and tertiary first. Either you watched with no sound, or you don't know what you're talking about. Watch Tuhon McGrath's video responses. You're not going to tell him he doesn't know what the primary hand is either, right?

[selfcritical]

In force-on force drilling, i've found that if the attacker uses a very forceful, "Sewing machine" attack, then using the secondary hand results in getting stabbed often on the first motion. If the reverse triangular footwork is used against a committed attack to crash the line, you find yourself zoned away from the rear hand.

[HertaoNOLA]

Completely agree with you selfcritical. If the attacker leads with the same foot as the hand he's stabbing with, the technique in the video above works well, because hitting him in the face (or attempting to) occupies his other hand and gives enough access to the weapon limb. If he uses a "sewing machine" attack leading with the opposite foot, using the free hand to keep you off, it becomes VERY difficult. You need to then zone deeply to either side and change your response.

@HertaoNOLA und ich würde dir mit sicherheit das gegenteil beweisen, etwas fussarbeit und der einsatz der freien hand und nichts davon klappt. Aber is ja auch egal, hauptsache ihr habt spass und seit damit zufrieden...

...because I'm not. This is a nice video and explains some important details, and yes when attacked (with a knife or otherwise) smacking him in the face as hard as you can is usually a good idea. However for me personally if I'm going to punch him then I will pre empt him before he launches his attack (the shifty blighter) if he comes at me first it's dog catcher for me all the way as I've trained it hard full contact and had good results. As it says on the tin I "Died less often".

[Rapist87]

@HertaoNOLA ...Those that did apply the headbutt had considerable success ( even with their limited training) and many of the students who failed to apply the headbutt still managed to successfully "survive" what were fairly aggressive assaults ( for a two day course ). Obviously with continued training they would be expected to perform better than they did on the dvds, but still performed well which suggests its not a bad method - Believe me I've seen MUCH worse. Not that I'm attacking you...

[Rapist87]

@HertaoNOLA That's your opinion and you are entitled to it, but remember that when performed correctly the "dog catcher" is performed with violent triangular footwork and a headbutt, not just triangular footwork with the arms up to intercept the blade hand. On the DLO dvds many of the students pictured in the force on force scenario training drills had never seen the material before and were essentially first timers with only two days of training and therefore many failed to apply the headbutt..

great vid!

[sageofthepaths]

Do not get lost in the technicalities. I am a Filipino and here we keep things as simple as possible. Constant drilling is the key to hone your reflexes, proper movements and engram your brain but keep explanations simple so as not to confuse those uninitiated. Ultimately, when the shit hits the fan, you're reflexes will do all the talking for you. Mabuhay ang pekiti tirsia kali, tangkilikin natin ang sariling atin ^^

@HertaoNOLA You might get cut/stabbed on 1st beat of motion, but it gives a good "defang" by controlling the weapon arm while still allowing the other hand to strike and cover. I work in the armed protection field (and am a kali-silat instructor), and I have used this against and edged weapon. it is functional.

[HYBRIDCOMBATIVES]

@HertaoNOLA an "overhook" wrap with the secondary hand with repeated tertiary strikes to face and vitals (while shielding/covering) works pretty well to... as long as you are applying the "violence of action" aggressively.
