The technique shown below is
illustrated in my book Modern Self Defense for
the 21st WARNING Techniques against weapons, especially firearms should only be attempted by experienced martial artists who have practiced these techniques for many years, or when you are certain that your life is in imminent mortal danger. The following is only a sample of one Jujitsu weapon defense technique. I encourage you to further study under a qualified instructor.Note: All techniques should be learned under the guidance of a qualified Jujitsu instructor. Care must be taken to ensure that Tori does not strike Uke. Kicks, and strikes must stop 6 inches short of the target. Additionally, only throw Uke onto a surface specifically designed to absorb such impact and only after proper break falls have been learned.
Sharp Objects Self-defense against sharp objects such as knives, picks, broken bottles, and other sharp items pose a different danger in that they may severely injure the victim if used successfully. Again, the legs in the form of kicks as opposed to hands are the better choice. If possible, wrap a jacket, shirt or towel or other piece of clothing around the blocking forearm. Double blocks as well as cross blocks may be used to defend yourself. Once inside the perimeter of the weapon, you may use modern Jujitsu techniques to disarm your opponent.
Uke strikes downward with the knife in the right hand. Tori steps forward with the right foot and blocks with Juji-Uke (cross block) (left hand over right). Stepping forward with the left foot, Tori secures the wrist with Ude-Gaeshi while throwing with O-Soto-Gari. Tori finishes with a Gedan-Tsuki (low punch) to the head.
Remember, without safety, there can be no Jujitsu. |
