Combat Kick Boxing

Switching Hands Thrust:
Medium to Long Range
Situation Five: Your assailant suddenly
switches hands and lunges at you.*
1) Sidestep to the right and block his
attack with both hands. Seize and
lock out the weapon-bearing hand.
(Fig. 166)
2) Slam a rear roundhouse kick into
his thigh. (Fig. 167)
3) Quickly follow up with a
roundhouse knee into the same
thigh. (Fig. 168) Fig 166
4) Snap down his wrist and at the
same time drive upward under his
elbow with a bent arm and break
his elbow joint. (Fig. 169)

*Switching hands is only one of the
various tactics that your assailant may
employ to fool you. The initiative lies
with him because of the instinctive fear
that a knife attack arouses. You must act
rapidly and decisively if you are to stand
any chance of defending yourself.
