2:45-4:00 – Steve Chamness: Edged Weapons – Dealing with the straight line
Perhaps the most dangerous attack one can face is that of dealing with an edged weapon. The fastest and most deadly of the angles from which these attack can come is the straight line, or thrust. The penetration of the thrust can cause dangerous life threatening trauma and is incredibly difficult to detect and defend. We will examine predictors of human behavior and develop methods of interception while dealing with this threat. Part of this presentation will include: the human decision making process, how to overwhelm your attacker, striking, joint locking, take downs, and disarms (is it realistic?).
