Grabs & Counters

“When one body part is in a hold, the rest of the body should stay relaxed, mobile and ready to fight.“

Learn to escape but not lock yourself, remain ready to move and control the next attack.

Realize how much more powerful escapes are if they are done without emotions.

See the combative stretching of the arms and legs.

Practice the drills of sensing the attack.

“Never resist a hold but control it by walking or moving away from the pressure.”

Redirect the energy of the limb rotation to gain power or relax another joint to escape.

Use relaxation to release and escape.

From grabs to stabs. Apply the same hold escape principles to knife disarming.

Learn the difference between a punch that “belongs” to you, and the one that “belongs” to the recipient.

Watch the fascinating work inside a crowd – where two or more body parts are to escape simultaneously.
