Knife Attack - Forearm Control

​

Combination Analysis: Knife Stabbing, Slashing, Pushing, and Footwork in Top Self-Defense Techniques

In the video above, instructors from the Israeli KALAH Combat System, show stages of self-defense against a bottom cyclic stab, using a technique called "Forearm Control" of the attacking hand. If in the first case a self-defense expert in an applicable method has a chance of up to 20% survival in the second case he strives for zero. I am not talking about an unskilled person in the applicable self-defense methods, because his chance in both cases is 0 for survival. The Israeli KALAH Combat System recommends a number of steps below to get some chance of survival:

• Step 1 - Once the attacker is identified, the distance between him and the victim is life-threatening. That is, it must be reduced, before the victim raises his hands up, close to each other (defending vital body organs). When the timing of the counter-attack start must be as soon as the knife begins the movement and before it receives the maximum power of the swing. That is a short moment after the attacker's exit. Assuming the attacker is holding a knife in the right hand, the victim performs a counterattack with a triangular-step technique using the right leg. That is, to a zero-range reduction.
  
• Step 2 - The victim using both hands will lock the arm (the hand with the knife), where when making the entry the victim's hands are closed to the fists (so as not to injure fingers). Important Note: Do not be in a ninety-degree (perpendicular) position in front of the attacker. In this situation, the attacker can move a knife immediately next to another. That is, in an ideal situation the victim would be parallel to the attacker while locking the arm.
  
• Step 3 - The victim's body is tilted forward with both hands locking the attacking arm. Usually, in these moments there is a struggle between the two and there are cases where a rotary movement to the opposite side of the attacker is essential with the application of force downwards on his shoulder. Step 4 - In moments of struggle, the victim along with the circular motion and "Forearm Control" uses the right hand to hit the victim. Additionally, combined kicks and knees for vital areas of the attacker, like the groin and abdomen area.
  
• Step 5 - The right hand continues to lock the attacking arm and the left-hand wraps around the arm. In such a situation, even more, force is exerted on the attacker from above, through blows to the head and kicks. When, in the end, the attacker is on the ground. Step 6 - On the ground, the left hand continues to lock the attacking arm, and the right-hand strikes until the knife are released from the hand. Important Note: The knife must be out of reach of the attacker (farther). When at the end of the process the victim collects the knife and moves it away from the attacker.
