The attacker grabbed your right wrist from the outside with his left hand (Figure 1).
Slightly bending the captured hand at the elbow joint, make an arcuate movement with it: towards you-left-up, and then right-up, towards the nail phalanx of the attacker's thumb - so that he starts to let go of your hand (Fig. 2).

Continuing the movement, rest the thumb of your left hand on the back of the base of the attacker's little finger. Having completely freed your right hand, rest it with your thumb on the back of the base of the ring finger. Both of your thumbs should be close (fig. 3).

Holding the attacker's shoulder and forearm at a 90-degree angle, twist the grasped hand outward to the right, pointing its palm toward the ground. In case of danger of an attack by the hooligan's accomplices, continue to rotate and direct the captured brush to the ground and to the right - this movement can bring the attacker to the ground.

WRIST LOCK RELEASE AND ELBOW BENDING

The attacker grabbed your right wrist from the outside so that his little finger was lower than the other fingers (Fig. 4).

Make an arcing movement with your right forearm to the left-down and then to the right-up so that your wrist is constantly pressing on the attacker's thumb (Fig. 5).

At the moment when the attacker begins to release the grip, take his left wrist from below with your left hand, quickly move to the right and, freeing your right hand, grab the attacker's left hand under the arm (Fig. 6).

Firmly holding the captured hand under the armpit, move its brush forward and upward so that the attacker's elbow is bent over your right palm.

THROAT RELEASE

The attacker grabbed your throat from the front with two hands (Fig. 7).

With the left hand, grab the wrist of the attacker’s right hand from below, and with the right hand, grab his right hand from above so that the end of the thumb can rest against the metacarpal bone of the thumb, and with four - grab the edge of the palm (Fig. 8).

Turn the captured hand to the right around the axis and grab it under the left armpit. Pressing the attacker's hand along the natural bend, bend his elbow joint through your left palm (Fig. 9).

SIDE PUNCH PROTECTION

The attacker strikes with his right fist (in the fist can be in brass knuckles) a blow from the side in the face. Take a step forward-left with your left foot and substitute your left forearm towards the striking hand (Fig. 10).

Turning your left palm outward, grasp the attacker's forearm with your fingers. With a strong arcuate movement of the left hand to the left and down, then to the right, lower the attacker's hand down and grab it with the right hand by the inside of the wrist (Fig. 11).

Make a jerk with both hands for the captured hand with the expectation that the attacker puts his right leg forward, and continue to pull the wrist with his right hand so that he transfers the weight of the body to this exposed leg (Fig. 12).

With your left hand, grab the shoulder part of the attacker's right arm from above and press your palm to your chest. Place your left foot next to the right foot of the attacker and, turning his right hand with the palm up towards you, bend it at the elbow joint through your left forearm (Fig. 13).

KNIFE PROTECTION

Depending on how the attacker holds the knife, several options for dangerous blows may follow. If the blade of the knife, taken by the handle, moves away from the thumb (Fig. 14), then there will be knife blows from the side and from below.

PROTECTION WITH THE FOREARM AGAINST A KNIFE BELOW

The attacker strikes with a knife from below in the stomach. Take a step forward and left with your left foot, simultaneously turning your torso and left toe to the right. By hitting the forearm of the left hand from top to bottom on the forearm of the attacker, stop the advance of the knife (Fig. 15).

Grasp the hand holding the knife with both hands and twist it outward, pointing the palm towards the ground. When twisting the wrist, the shoulder and forearm of the attacker's right hand should be at an angle of 90 degrees (Fig. 16 and 16a).

PROTECTION WITH THE FOREARM AGAINST A KNIFE SIDE

The right-handed attacker stabs the side of the neck with a knife. Lunge forward and to the left with your left foot and stop the forearm approaching you with your left forearm (Fig. 17). With the right hand, grab the right wrist (with part of the hand) from above (Fig. 18), forearm - left hand from below. Turn the captured hand inward, grab it under the shoulder (as described in Throat Grab Defense). Bending the elbow and pressing the hand, force the attacker to release the knife (Fig. 19).

Unlike the conglomerate of attack and defense techniques - juu-jutsu, which was practiced by a relatively small number of people, judo, developed by Jigaro Kano, was designed to cover a large number of people, as a system of physical education of the younger generation, development and maintenance of the physical capabilities of an adult organism in a paramilitary aspect. Judo has firmly taken the first place among the means of professionally applied physical training of law enforcement officers.

Naturally, at the same time, it had to be feasible for almost everyone and take up a significant part of the time in terms of the educational component, thereby ensuring the duration of classes for everyone and for everyone. The composition of formalized exercises (kat), thanks to the demonstration of which students receive qualification categories, allows almost any person capable of diligent mastery of this subject to claim high qualification. It is thanks to the feasibility of qualifying exercises and the observance of numerous pedagogical attributes of the behavior of a judoist that the judo system has embraced millions of people in Japan.

The judo system consists of three blocks of activity.

1. Mastering the techniques of self-defense without weapons (special section), carried out in a conditionally contact mode.

2. Mastering wrestling techniques that allow mastering judo techniques in situational conditions of a duel without risk to life and health, engaged in the “randori” mode (free duel).

3. Mastering wrestling techniques in order to achieve high sports results to meet their own social and public needs.

This block of activity was formed after judo entered the world sports arena, due to which many socio-pedagogical principles of judo gradually lose their effect, and the far from always rational principle of achieving a goal by any means comes to replace it. Without the dominance in this system of the direction towards physical education, judo is threatened with degeneration, which will be accompanied by a reduction in the number of people involved, as happens with types of gymnastics, and a decrease in entertainment, unlike gymnastics.

The content and methodology of traditional judo is largely similar to that of aikido, especially in terms of the special section. The illustrations of traditional self-defense techniques in the judo system and the methods of mastering it cause some rejection among modern Western martial arts specialists due to changes in ideas about self-defense techniques that have occurred over the century. However, it is necessary to know the essence of the traditional judo system associated with mastering the section of self-defense. So, it includes blocks of formalized exercises of direct self-defense (Kime-no-kata), Koshiki-no-kata (ancient) and Judo-no-kata (flexibility kata). In specialized katas, self-defense techniques are presented in a manner that is not characteristic of European martial arts (more gravitating toward an accelerated transition to martial arts modes). For example, mastering defense techniques begins with a kneeling position.

If we take into account the fact of excessively early specialization in physical education, then the presence of such a section of training is quite justified, since it provides greater stability of the mutual posture.

Traditional judo uses the "ancient kata" Koshiki-no-kata, the techniques of which satisfy the conditions of combat in heavy armor. All throws belong to the Sutemi-waza group (throws with a fall, dragging the opponent along with them). Close to self-defense is the kata of flexibility (Judo-no-kata), the content of which is close to the manner of aikido, which indicates the relationship of these systems.

Practice shows that the fewer techniques against the same type of attack a fighter has, the faster and more accurately he reacts to the attack. It is even better if the fighter reacts with the same type of movement in response to a generalized attacking landmark. Therefore, this paper will present a unified defense and unified technical and tactical actions in the case of typical enemy resistance in response to the first defensive actions. A more voluminous combination technique of self-defense, as an independent course, will be presented in a special study guide.

Due to the fact that the most common, most dangerous and unexpected threat is an attack with a knife, it is advisable to violate the pedagogical principle “from simple to complex” and start studying self-defense against a knife attack, so that in the future, by repeating the material covered while mastering others so this section was worked out to automatism.

It is necessary to first clarify the terms of technical actions in the phases of the reception, which will later be often used in the section of self-defense without weapons (for example, bending the arm behind the back against a knife strike from below).

Parry attacks: - stopping the attacking hand or object with a rigid block (in this case, with a different forearm (Fig. a)

Fixation: grabbing the threatening limb (in this case, the elbow from above) with the free hand in order to prevent pulling it back for a second attack (Fig. b)

Neutralization enemy: - an action that allows you to exercise complete control over the enemy) (Fig. c)

For complete control, an additional capture of the enemy by the far shoulder from behind or by the throat (hair, eyes) is required.

In this section, there is no such parry as a "fork" with a brush, a "fork" with brushes (S. A. Seliverstov, 1997), since they lead to injuries of the defending hand. Crossing the forearms leads to the inability to carry out the reception due to the change of the attacking hand. Repulsing with a subsequent blow instead of fixing the attacking hand (V.N. Lavrov, 1995) leads the defender to repeatedly solve the problem of defense again.

a - parry when defending from a knife strike from below

b - fixing the elbow of the attacking hand with the same hand from above

c - neutralization by bending the arm behind the back

5. Technical and tactical actions in response to the attacker's resistance to "bending the arm behind the back" (Fig. 3.6)

Parry with the opposite forearm down from the inside. Fixing the elbow of the attacking hand from above with the same hand. From a distracting kick - an attempt to bend the arm behind the back.

With resistance - interception of the hand of the same name from below, pressure with the thumbs on the cavities of the bases between the index and middle, little and ring fingers. With the little fingers of your fingers, press the wrist down - towards you, and with your thumbs on the brush - away from you.

7. Technical and tactical actions in response to the attacker's resistance to the "elbow lever with the chest from above"

When the opponent resists the lever of the elbow with the chest from above, carry out a distracting kick with the foot. Stretch the captured arm up and then repeat the attempt to lever the elbow with the chest down (Fig. 3.8).

Rice. 3.8. Combination with the resistance of the opponent to the arm of the elbow with the chest from above by deception on the pressure of the brush with a kick in the leg

8. Technical and tactical action against a knife strike from below with the attacking hand slipping upwards

When parrying an attacking hand that strikes from below with a knife, the opponent's hand can slide up the blocking forearm.

In this case, the blocking hand turns palm up, thumb outward so as to capture the forearm from the inside. With your free hand, grab the opponent’s arm from top to bottom so that later you put it on the forearm of your hand, holding the opponent’s hand at the wrist.

At the same time, hold the side trip so that the opponent is stretched along the support (Fig. 3.9).

Rice. 3.9. Elbow lever through the forearm when sliding the arm up in the process of bending the arm behind the back

9. Technical and tactical action against a knife strike from above with the attacking hand slipping down

When parrying an attacking arm that strikes with a knife from above, the opponent's arm can slide down the blocking forearm.

In this case, with the blocking hand, with the thumb turned down, grab the attacking forearm. With your free hand, grab the opponent's arm from below at the elbow. At the same time, step back in the direction of the opponent’s free hand and perform a turn with an exit, putting the elbow of his hand on your shoulder or in the crook of the elbow (Figure 3.10).

Rice. 3.10. Elbow lever over the shoulder by turning when the attacking arm slides down in the process of repulsing the arm when stabbed from above

In case of resistance of the opponent to the lever over the shoulder, turn around in the opposite direction and hold the elbow lever through the bend of the elbow with the side step (Fig. 3.11.).

Rice. 3.11. Elbow lever through the bend of the elbow while resisting the elbow lever over the shoulder

10. The problem of increasing the reliability of protection against knife blows

In the process of in-depth study of this problem, it was possible to note interesting facts of mass delusion in assessing the degree of effectiveness of protection against knife blows.

During the competitions in the self-defense section, it was revealed that the slightest resistance of a partner imitating an attack confuses the examinee. Typical resistance of the attacker during his detention is the rigidity of the muscles of the shoulder and forearm. But even with such a dosed resistance, only those examinees who have previously been engaged in sambo, judo, freestyle or Greco-Roman wrestling successfully cope.

Another, more confusing factor is the withdrawal of the attacking hand when the defender tries to grab it (especially when hitting from below). In these cases, an attempt to retaliate to the solar plexus or chin (according to the description of the technique on the ticket) allows the opponent to re-attack with a knife.

There are cases when the defender, not recognizing in time where the blow will come from, uses a differentiated parry (beating the outside with the elbow up or knocking the outside with the elbow down), as suggested by V. N. Lavrov (1995), as a result of which the defense breaks down and defending, by and large, stabbed to death.

In connection with the foregoing, the reader is offered a unified defense that significantly increases the reliability of the defender's actions.

11. Unified parry of blows with a knife from below, direct to the chest, neck or blows from above (Fig. 3.12)

Recently, much attention has been paid to knife fencing in martial arts literature (Liang Yi Xuan, 1994 and others). Therefore, not only straightforward attacks with a knife are possible, but also unexpected attacks with a knife from any hand, from below or from above. The most dangerous is a direct stab in the chest (neck) with a direct diagonal grip (A. E. Taras, 1999). To this end, it is necessary to master a unified defense with the expectation that the most unexpected and short blow is delivered with a blade from the thumb (from below or straight).

Rice. 3.12. Unified protection against knife blows from below and direct blows to the chest, neck

With an attacking movement of any arm of the opponent from below, in a circular motion, turn your hands with your palms up to the sides and raise them to the level of your neck. Turning your palms down, lower them until they meet with the attacking hand. The palms should overlap each other in order to prevent an attack from an unexpected direction.

In the case when the enemy's attacking hand from below attacks from above (with a blade from the little finger), the hands that were preparing to defend against a blow from below turn their palms up and block the attack from above (Fig. 32).

Rice. 3.13. Unified protection against any knife blows

In this figure (look closely) a difficult case is shown when the attacker first imitates a direct blow to the throat with a knife. In any case, the defender organizes a defense against just such a blow (since it is the shortest and therefore most dangerous).

When the attacking hand goes from below to the level of the chest, it is difficult to recognize the method of impact according to the recommendation of V.P. Volkov (1940), since it is not always possible to visually catch the method of gripping the knife. In addition, on an upward trajectory, the attacker (as is now fashionable) can throw the knife with the blade to the little finger and will be ready to strike from above. The hands of the defender, once below the opponent's hand, can quickly reorient themselves to defend against an overhead strike. If you wait for the moment when you can recognize the direction of the blow (from above or below), the knife blow will be missed.

We will not consider protection against knife attacks using a police baton (Yu. E. Maryashin, 1990) or, even better, a machine gun out of respect for the logic of the section “Self-defense without a weapon." Recommendations for using a bag strap to protect against a knife also fall into this category.

In this section, after mastering the elementary coordination of movements when parrying blows with a knife and fixing the attacking limb, it is no coincidence that at first it is proposed to study the methods of responding to typical methods of resistance of the enemy when the defender tries to arrest.

The fact is that actions associated with proprioceptive-motor coordination at the level of thoracic motor skills are easier to master (N. A. Bernshtein, 1991).

Only after mastering the technical and tactical actions at the dynamic level, one should study and practice more complex technical and tactical actions at the visual-motor level - parry variations in changing situations.

Biomechanical (spatial, power and temporal) characteristics of attacking and defensive actions largely depend on the initial position of both opponents.

One of these biomechanically fundamental positions is the mutual stance in projection onto a horizontal plane (Yu. A. Shulika, 1982). If the attacker and his opponent are in a right-handed or left-handed stance, such a mutual stance is called the stance of the same name. If the attacker is in the right stance and his opponent is in the left stance, the mutual stance is called opposite. Depending on the mutual stance, the tactics of using attacking and defensive equipment are also formed.

1. Protection from direct blows with the near hand in the stance of the same name (Fig. 3.14)

Deviate from the blow back, beat off the forearm of his near attacking hand with the hand farthest from the enemy, step forward with the front foot to the front foot of the enemy. Grasp his neck with the near hand and, after stepping with the far leg, perform a “tilt with a support grip” (O-soto-gari).

Rice. 3.14. "Tilt with a support grip" against a direct blow with the near hand in the stance of the same name.

2. Protection from direct blows with the far hand in the stance of the same name (Fig. 3.15)

Deviate from the blow back, beat off the forearm of the attacking hand with the hand closest to the enemy, step forward with the front foot to the front foot of the enemy. Grasp his neck with the near hand, and the shoulder from the inside with the far hand and, pressing on the captured hand, hold the “tilt with the same hook from the outside” (O-soto-otoshi).

Rice. 3.15. "Tilt with the same hold from the outside" against a direct blow with the far hand with the same stance

3. Protection from direct blows with the near (far) hand in the stance of the same name (Fig. 3.16)

When attacking an opponent with a far or near hand, with a stance of the same name, make a wide substep from the inside to the opponent’s near leg (body weight is on the front leg) with a deviation back and grab his near leg by the thigh and knee bend with a reverse grip. Shifting body weight from the near leg to the far leg, pull the opponent's legs along the support.

Rice. 3.16. Lunge with a "slope", throwing back with a reverse grab of the leg with both hands with the stance of the same name

4. Protection from direct blows with the near hand with a different stance (Fig. 3.17)

Deviate outward and turn to the enemy with a step. At the same time, beat off the attacking hand inward with the near hand, intercept the forearm from the inside with the far hand and press it to the chest. From a distracting kick to the leg, step back from the opponent and, with the other leg put forward, beat off the opponent’s near leg by straightening the knee joint. Stretch the opponent past you and, pressing with the forearm from above, hold the elbow lever.

Rice. 3.17. Beating inward with a call, knocking down with a bandwagon

5. Protection from direct blows with the far hand with a different stance (Fig. 3.18).

Deviate from the blow back, beat off the forearm of the attacking hand with the hand farthest from the enemy, insure with the near hand a possible blow from the near one, step with the front foot to the front foot of the enemy. Grasp his neck with the near hand, and his shoulder with the far hand and hold the “twist with the bandwagon” (possibly with repetition).

Rice. 3.18. "Cranking with the footboard" against a direct blow with the far hand with an opposite stance

6. Protection against direct blows with a far (near) hand with a different stance (Fig. 38)

When attacking the enemy with the far hand from the opposite stance, make a wide step towards the enemy outside his front leg (body weight is on the front leg) with a deviation back and grab his near leg by the thigh and knee bend with a reverse grip. Shifting body weight from the near leg to the far leg, pull the opponent's legs along the support.

This technique can be successfully carried out against direct blows with any hand from any stance, but at the same time it is necessary to cover your head with the palm of the hand farthest from the enemy during the lunge forward and not raise it until the end of the opponent’s legs stretching past you.

In the initial stance of the same name after a dive, the opponent may try to grab your neck under your shoulder. In this case, you can not lift the enemy. It is necessary to pull out his legs along the support and past him.

Rice. 3.19. “Backward pullback” against direct blows with the near (far) hand with an opposite stance

7. Unified protection against direct blows with the near hand with the stance of the same name (Fig. 3.20)

11. Protection from side blows from the near hand of the defender in any mutual stance (Fig. 3.24)

Rice. 3.24. Inside double block - neck and shoulder girth - tilt with footrest or twist with footrest (depending on mutual stance)

12. Protection from side blows from the far arm of the defender in any mutual stance (Fig. 3.25)

Most manuals on self-defense and hand-to-hand combat against punches at close range suggest the use of painful techniques in a standing position.

However, if they are used in conditions close to competitive ones, injuries increase sharply.

On the other hand, when meeting opponents of equal skill, such techniques are not successful. Therefore, the optimal solution to the problem is to return throws immediately after blocking the blow with the girth of the shoulder of the attacking arm, as shown in Fig. 3.25 and 3.26.

Initial distances are of great importance in organizing attack and defense in hand-to-hand combat and in self-defense without weapons (N. N. Oznobishin, 1930).

Extra long distance - the distance at which it is impossible to use blows with the limbs of a fighter. In this case, a long melee weapon or an attacker's maneuver is used:

- rectilinearly (jump on the far supporting leg);

– circular movement (reverse circular approach);

- a blow with the far supporting leg from preliminary turning on the front leg.

long distance - the distance from which a front leg kick is possible without an additional approaching maneuver.

Average distance- the distance from which direct punches are possible.

close range - the distance from which blows are possible with the brush (fist, edge of the palm, etc.), elbow and knees.

Types of parry (beats, blocks)

Upper bounce (block) against blows to the upper sector (top blows):

the brush is at the top - the elbow is at the bottom.

Low bounce (block) against blows to the lower sector (low blows): the hand is at the bottom - the elbow is at the top.

Beating (block) inside: the protecting hand is directed past its body (towards itself).

Beating (block) out: the protecting arm is directed outside its body (away from itself).

1. Protection from direct (side) kicks from below from any stance (Fig. 3.29)

Rice. 3.29. Forearm down-out parry with ankle bend

It should be borne in mind that when trying to twist the foot, the opponent can turn along his longitudinal axis and strike with his free leg with a strong swing. To neutralize this maneuver, it is necessary to sharply pull the captured leg down towards you with the pressure of the captured lower leg and foot in the direction opposite to the possible rotation.

However, kicks from below are a gift for a professional, and therefore it is advisable to work out a unified defense against more dangerous blows to the head, to the knee joint, after which more specific fixation and neutralization will follow.

In the future, kicks of the opponent will be assumed to be united for direct kicks, side kicks, back kicks, side kicks, since they are similar in terms of the danger of the direction of their trajectory, despite the differences in amplitude.

When differentiating protection against blows in conditions of different mutual stances, one should keep in mind the commonality of blows from the left and right in terms of spatial parameters. Their difference lies in the fact that the strikes delivered by the near foot are more unexpected, but weaker, and the strikes delivered by the far leg are more powerful, but less unexpected.

The difference may be in the actions carried out after parrying blows.

2. Protection from direct (side) "upper" strikes with the near leg in the stance of the same name (Fig. 3.30)

Rice. 3.30. Upper repulsion of the near inside (brush at the top, elbow at the bottom). Twist with two legs

Rice. 3.37. Parry with near forearm down outward with subsidence. Bending of the ankle and knee joints

11. Protection from blows to the lower sector (in the area of ​​the knee joint) from the side of the far shoulder defending in any mutual stance (Fig. 3.38)

Rice. 3.38. Parry with the far forearm down outward with a drop

In this section, it is necessary to take into account the peculiarity of simultaneously leaving the line of attack and entering the starting position in conditions of mutual similar and opposite stances.

The fact is that when using a long piercing weapon, holding it with two hands determines the peculiarity of the attack and the peculiarity of countering the defense.

The exit of the opponent defending towards the far leg with the same stance will be conventionally called "exit inside".

The exit of the opponent defending towards the near leg with the stance of the same name - "going outside".

"exit inside".

The exit of the opponent defending towards the far leg with an opposite stance - "exit outside".

"Outdoors" dangerous, because the defender goes in the direction of the preferred fine-tuning (direction adjustment) of the weapon.

However, when meeting with an opposite opponent, it is not advisable to change the usual way of entering the start of the main technique, since an undeveloped way of exiting in the opposite direction can bring more trouble than the ability of the attacker to fine-tune the weapon.

A long stick (pole) or a two-handed sword can be used as a weapon. When defending against chopping blows with a stick (pole), a sliding parry of the blow with the forearm is possible with maximum rapprochement with the enemy.

When defending against slashes with bladed weapons, no blocks are possible. Unfortunately, there are "enchanting" ignorant publications on martial arts, which propose to stop the blow of the sword (and even the Japanese one, designed not for piercing, but for cutting) by pressing it with the palms of your hands, followed by rotation around the longitudinal axis.

What's this? Unexperienced dreams or foolish advertising? There are recommendations for protection against chopping blows with a saber by diving in the direction of the blow and holding the defense with the opposite hand tangentially towards the blow (Fig. 3.42). We do not recommend doing this stupidity. You can parry a blow with a saber only with an improvised object with sufficient durability.

In a number of works on self-defense and hand-to-hand combat, a method of parrying blows with a small sapper shovel is illustrated, blocking the attacker's wrist with the forearm or "fork" of the hand (Fig. 3.49).

In our opinion, this is not entirely correct, since the metal part of a shovel (especially an ax) is heavier than a wooden handle, and when the attacking hand stops, the speed of the upper part of the shovel and its weight will create such a living force of the “projectile” that the hand will not be able to hold the handle and the shovel ( ax) will hit the defender on the head. In this regard, it is proposed to parry the blow with one hand in the area of ​​​​the middle of the handle (handle), and with the other - in the zone of the wrist of the attacking hand.

When attacking with a chain weapon (nunchaku, chain, etc.), parrying is possible only with the use of soft improvised objects in the form of your jacket, bag on your belt, waist belt.

In extreme cases, you can use stands with solid objects, but with a very hard grip (preferably with two hands).

9. Protection against girths (captures) by opponents from two sides The extensive martial arts literature offers many options for defending against grabs from both sides, but most of them are like circus tricks such as forward or backward rolls and are not suitable for use by the "average" person. The best way to prepare yourself for this occasion is by practicing not only self-defense, but also the sports section of sambo or judo (that is, wrestling). In addition, the arsenal of such actions can be purely individual, and average recommendations are useless in this case.

Many manuals on special self-defense techniques give many ways to detain and escort without the use of handcuffs. Experience shows that only one method of detention and subsequent escort is optimal - this is the lever of the elbow through the forearm with a knot (subject to pain on the elbow joint during movement).

The literature on a special section of self-defense describes such

detention techniques such as:

- elbow lever over the shoulders;

- bending the arm behind the back with a jerk;

- bending the arm behind the back from the dive under the arm;

- pressing the wrist down with fixing the elbow by grabbing the arm under the shoulder.

However, these methods, despite their external effectiveness, are fraught not just with escape, but with the death of the detainer and escort.

Knife protection

Knife protection

When improving self-defense techniques against an attack by an enemy armed with a knife, several important points should be remembered. First, the position of the armed hand must be controlled throughout its movement until disarming, in order to prevent cuts or pricks. Secondly, when performing a technique, one should always strive to move away from the line of attack. Thirdly, the techniques must be carried out in such a way that the hand with the knife rushes in the direction opposite to your departure from the line of attack.

Fourth, try not to get close to the enemy at an extremely short distance. The closer he is to you, the harder it is to avoid defeat. Fifthly, improve all techniques against a knife with training weapons (wooden, plastic).

PROTECTION AGAINST PUNCH Although the term "boxer" will be used below, it does not mean at all that the attacker is an athlete who practices boxing intensively. He is expected not to use his skills and abilities to commit illegal acts. But,
