@forge.krav.maga: Kicking to the head from your back is - generally - the traditional Krav answer to a knife at your throat, and that's a viable approach. Ryan Hoover’s point is about what comes next - how do I deal with a heavy body on top of me when I'm scrambling to get up? One answer: do damage, then transition into a sweep. Secure positional dominance before proceeding with striking, controls, or escape. From guard with a knife at your throat, the attacker is - essentially - attached to you. Trap the weapon bearing limb and pin it to your chest with both arms. Shift to the armbar and snap the elbow. Then comes the important part: sit up with it, turn it into a sweep. Land on the chest in a modified mount, with the weapon arm controlled in a gift wrap. Strike to the head only after you own the body and the weapon bearing limb. #KravMaga #ModernKravMaga #KnifeDefense #SelfDefense@Fit to Fight® Republic
