Blunt Instrument Attacks
Fig 148
Summary
Never underestimate the seriousness of weapon attacks. Leave the scene if you
can. If forced to fight, assume that your life is in danger and react accordingly.
Use defensive movements to prevent accurate distance gauging by your assailant
and take a glancing blow rather than a full strike. You must be fast and explosive
in your counter-attacks to stand any chance of success.
If you get him in trouble, keep him there. Lastly, never fight a man with a
weapon if you have any chance of avoiding it: pride mends more swiftly than
bones – if you get the chance to heal.
