I had Colby, Llyle, and Trevor tonight.
First hour I ran through 2 hands on the throat, near and far, from the side and the rear, finishing with a takedown. I then introduced/reviewed the inner wrist lock takedown in preparation for the Arnis knife defense. I also showed an afterthrow control that I particularly like after Tori performs the takedown. Right leg passes over uke's shoulder and steps behind uke's head, pushing the head forward. Tori kneels on left knee. Tori's right arm passes between tori's chest and uke's arm and grabs uke's hand to get it into a gooseneck, bending uke's elbow. Uke's arm should be in a wrist/shoulder lock over uke's head. Tori puts his left hand over his right and scoops uke's hand over the mat while shifting his weight back onto his left foot.
The Arnis knife defense was interesting. We worked on defense from a low lunge, a cross body slash, and an icepick attack. Initial principles are similar to the can-ryu knife defense: palms towards your face and use the bony part of the forearms to block while stepping forward @ 45 degrees. once blocked, the arms rotate inward to allow tori to grab uke's forarm, pulling it in close to tori's body. From here. tori's right hand is grabbing at uke's wrist. Tori positions the bony part of his forearm on the side of the knife's blade and bends uke's wrist in similar to an inner wristlock takedown. Tori then, with his right forearm, pushes through on the knife blade, causing it to come out between uke's thumb and index finger and drop.
Another variation from the same entrance is instead of turning the knife-wielding hand into an inner wristlock takedown, Tori uses his right hand to pass between his chest and uke's arm, under it up the far side and over the top back to his chest. In this motion, the forearm is maintaining contact along the side of the blade and rotates it out of uke's hand and traps it between tori's arm and chest after the disarm is complete. This disarm also works well for a baton disarm.
These are more in the "could know" or "might know" categories of can-ryu. The meat and potatoes of knife defense was covered on Monday and re-emphasized again in Wednesday's class.
I'm looking forward to playing with some of these techniques for baton disarms. Next month!
