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. Okay, I'm going to show you how to defend against someone who's thrusting at you again. Okay, now this thrust is not the typical straight out thrust with the twist on the hips, okay. It's more coming straight up as if they are going for an uppercut kind of strike, okay? And all you're going to do, you're going to go with it and kind of hit it up with the crane motion and then come back to the wrist, okay? Now what you're going to do is take him to an outboard wristlock, just make go down. At this point, pull back their head, okay, and that's cutting the jugular right here, okay? And then you pull it right out of their grip. Right in there. Just make sure that you got a good hold and then you're just turning the knife like this, pulling back and stabbing in, okay? That stab can go anywhere you want it, okay, depending on the level of lethality that you want, okay? So one more time, thrust here, wrist lock, cut, pull, thrust, okay? And that's how to defend against someone who's coming with an uppercut type stab.
