"Hi, I'm Jason Jeannette with Elite Martial Arts of Middle Tennessee here on behalf of Expert Village. This is reflexive club defense. This would be a club defense from a neutral stance or just an unready position. We're going to use the same defense I would for just a sucker punch, an outside defense attack technique. Here I'm using the same reaction that my body's going to do anyway. My hands are coming up; I'm just making it mean. So, instead of that, I'm diving in the same way I would do empty hands. Turtle up my head and I'm taking this to the arm, punching through him. My other option there is eye-gouge every bit of him. Here and then I'm wrapping him up. I want the weapon still. I want to control this guy, lay my weight on him, knees to the groin, kicks to the groin, knees to the face. My arm here is going to be a little bit different. I'll slide out and just wave my hand out this way. I'm turning up and pulling out."
