Military/Scenario:
Similar to the previous tactic except you are working inside of the Atacker’s arm and not against the
elbow joint. Defending inside the arm must is more complicated as the Attacker has the ability to bend the
elbow which must be taken into consideration and prevented.
Breakdown:
Changing the field of fire in picture 2, must be accompanied with attacking the bad-guy (picture 3)
without hesitation. In picture 3, I am over-hooking the Attackers R arm with my L arm and striking the
side of his neck (Brachial Plexus, Vagus Nerve bundle) with my inner R forearm using the Ulnar bone
(pinky side).Picture 4, is a combination utilizing a leg sweep in conjunction with the strikes and overhook. With practice, all three of these movements can be done at once and are all gross movement based.
The final frame (picture 6) shows the weapon arm secured in an arm-bar with a wide stance to maintain
the triangle of balance. I have drawn the surface area of the triangle so that it can be understood as
opposed to a narrow stance which could cause you to be unstable.
Details:
Striking the neck area or slightly above around the ear (hypoglossal nerve, Styloid process) is not only a
distraction tactic but will disorientate the opponent affecting his balance (ear canal) and cognitive ability
(decision making) for a brief period. The neck is a much better target than the head and will not damage
or break your hands like the hard bones found in the skull.
Safety:
Do not strike the neck during practice, Use as much force as your partner is comfortable with to avoid
injuring the upper spine. When over-hooking the arm into the take-down leave some room above the
elbow to mitigate the risk of breaking your partner’s arm. The weight of his body (training partner) and
the vector of force leaves the over-hooked arm at high risk to injury upon impacting the ground.
