Tanto Dori/Knife Disarming/ Aikido Hereford #3

Basic technique for knife disarming as practised in the Dojo. As in part one, I am simply showing some techniques and not suggesting the wisdom or otherwise of employing them in a real situation. Once one has learned them it might be hard not to. I know that a knife attack, especially from a trained person, may not be as blatant or simple, but this is the means by which we learn the most basic method upon which we can build. The movement is exaggerated or stylized to enable us to train safely. Strikes would almost certainly be a part of any knife defence as would full spite and power, but we can't train that way.. The circumstances of an attack may vary and obviously the best thing to do is to avoid the situation if possible. One thing is for sure; you are unlikely to make something up on the spur of the moment.
