JOHN BROWN JR.: On behalf of Expert Village, my name is John Brown. And now, I'm going to show you some basic disarms to go along with the techniques that we've been working on. So let's start with Retirada. He feeds me. I step back and cut, cut. I just butted up his arm pretty good. So I'm hoping that will help to disarm him. I'm going to use my forearm on the flat of his blade, and I'm going to control his thumb and his hand and cut. And that will disarm him and hopefully finish him. Again. When I get to this trapping motion, this trapping position, my flat, the flat of the blade and my forearm, I push and pull. I use a push-pull movement, pulling his hand off, pushing my forearm for this cut and finish. So the disarm, whether I'm armed or not is the same. I peel the fingers back, and I press with my forearm onto the flat of the blade. It is very dangerous. You can get cut. Another thing you want to worry about is when I strip it, depending on which way it goes, I may have to move my foot 'cause it will stab me right in the foot. So I step back, and disarm, and finish since he tried to kill me. And that's how to work your disarms.
