EDGED WEAPON AGAINST LEFT SIDE

OF NECK (MOVEMENT TO LIVE SIDE)

Edged-Weapon Threats

THREAT: This close-range situation has the weapon likely touching the left
side of your neck.

DANGER: Here, due to the proximity to the carotid artery, only a small
movement by the assailant is required to inflict severe injury or death.

SOLUTION: It becomes necessary to recognize the “open” area. In other
words, you must analyze the orientation of the weapon as it relates to the
direction needed to inflict harm and redirect the weapon in the opposite
direction.
