Minimize Getting Killed part1
The Title Should read, “Minimize getting killed, Know the 12 possible angles of attack with a knife”
By READING the following you AGREE the Francis Lau AND HAPKIDO VANCOUVER and it’s Intructors and Students are not responsible for how you deal with this information.
First off, let’s get the terminology down. L means left, R means Right. U means up, D means down. K = knife. Duh. Now that that’s over with, here are the 12 possible angles of attack with a knife, if you know of any more please feel free to comment and talk about it. The Next couple posts will probably be about how to stop each of the angles.
1. Knife coming from U to D, R to L (diagonal)
2. Knife coming from U to D, L to R (diagonal)
3. K coming horizontal R to L
4. K coming horizontal L to R
5. Knife going Straight in
6. This one is hard to explain, but you are drawing a ‘)’ motion (start from the bottom of the bracket) with the knife going into the neck
7. Opposite of 6, in a ‘(‘ (starting from the bottom) motion knife going to the neck
8. K going from U to D coming from the outside
9. K going from U to D coming from the inside (for 8,9 think inside outside crescent kick but with your arms)
10. K diagonally D to U , R to L
11. K diagonally D to U, L to R
12. Knife straight in and up.
Enjoy.
