Single Hand Grab Defense in Filipino Martial Arts

Video Transcript

JOHN BROWN JR.: On behalf of Expert Village, my name is John Brown, and we're going to work on some knife defense off those attacks that we've just worked. So Baron is going to thrust low line to the navel, and I'm going to work my one-hand grab. You can thrust again, and I'm working my one-hand grab. If he thrusts to my ribs, I'm working my one-hand grab. So if you're on this side and he's working the thrust to the ribs, I zone inside and I work my one-hand grab. The low line, he thrusts; I work my one-hand grab. And one-hand grab. Another variation of this one-hand grab, when he goes to this high line is I catch it here. But a lot of times, that first one is a feint or a bait, and he will turn to a cut to my ribs so I have to go with it. Being an experienced knife fighter, this is a bait. He will then go for the body and I will pass. So in one motion, he does the bait and I react. That's your single-hand grab basic defense.
