POSITION 7: Starting with your elbow bent 90°, lower your forearm below and
slightly in front of your chest to defend against a rising attack to the center of
your body. Be sure to bend at your waist, not at your knees.
TIPS
Defend using the blade of your arm. Put weight behind the defense.
Defend from wrist to wrist.
Your partner should attack with very straight arms. While this would be unlikely
in a street attack, it makes an excellent training method both for the defense and
to develop vision.
Look at the center of your partner’s chest and use peripheral vision to see all
attacks—if you turn your head to focus on one attack, you will not see an attack
coming from the other side.
Attackers should begin slowly, one attack at a time, and increase speed as
defending improves.
