There are many different ways in which an aggressor might attack using a blunt or edged weapon.  We begin our weapon disarm training by focusing on three basic angles of attack: overhead, from the side, and thrusting straight in.  

     The first three techniques that all our students learn for each of these three angles of attack all contain the same elements: blocking the attack, controlling the weapon hand, striking the attacker and taking the weapon.  Understanding, applying and mastering these principals leads to effective defense from all manners of attack.

OVERHEAD ATTACKS
