Dagger – Low Bind from a Reverse Strike

Fiore dagger work. Attacker coming from reverse strike. Defender goes for a hyper-extension, attacker bends the arm to break the counter, defender then forces the “Low Bind” or “Strong Key” to disable the attacker from break free.

Previous PostThis is about the recent asks about martial artists fighting off groups. There is a VAST WORLD of difference between sparring and fighting for your life/the life of others. For one, when you’re sparring, you don’t have the intention to murder your opponent, and your opponent doesn’t have killing intent either. Going up against someone with killing intent is EXTREMELY intimidating, and odds are, if you’ve never fought someone like that before, you WILL freeze. (cont.)Next PostRegarding your recent answer to the anon question about fighting a group of bullies, I have a related question. Sort of? If the person being the “hero” wasn’t afraid of drastically escalating the violence/didn’t care about the consequences, would their chances be better? In a desperate situation where one person with some street fighting experience has to fight off three or four unarmed thugs with, say, the only weapon at hand being a plank of scrap wood, how do you think they would fare?
