Knife defense – Diagonal Tapping – Download – EN

Description

This is the fourth of 4 videos about my seminars in France 2025 and the second of 2 from Montevrain near Paris.

In this video I teach empty hand knife defense. Contrary to the seminar in Brest, this time I use the concept of diagonal tapping, and teach the possible follow ups, distractions, disarmings, takedowns and different techniques, how to turn the opponent on the stomach, when he is on the  ground.

A lot of information was covered and you find the details of the content in the list below.

The video has chapter markers.
If you watch the video with the VLC player, go to playback and then chapter and you can choose the chapters like a menu of a DVD.
