Last week, Sensei Anthony Britton showed a basic weapon disarming move from a frontal attack. This week, he introduces “Bargaining Position B,” which occurs from the back when you have been accosted by an attacker. When an aggressor is in the negotiating phase (has not yet made a move to harm you), there are a few precious seconds when you have a window of opportunity to disarm him/her to try and get away. Executing this technique requires training. Attempting to disarm an attacker without proper instruction can exacerbate the problem, so be careful and know your limits.

IMPORTANT: Please use extreme caution when practicing these moves. Remember that with the right amount of force, you can severely hurt somebody. These techniques are to be used for self-defense purposes only. All self-defense moves and tips are to be used at the risk of the user.

Choke holds and how to get out of them. That’s coming next Monday!
