Basic Defense Principles
Redirect: Move the line of fire off of your body or the edge away from your
body.
Control: Get control of the weapon or weapon hand.
Attack: Send aggressive counterattacks to the assailant.
Takeaway: Disarm the assailant.
Generally, the defender’s hands are down by the sides. Bringing the hands up
and then making a defense is a “bigger” movement that is much more obvious to
the assailant. If the assailant orders the defender’s hands up, this is an ideal time
to make the defense (if in range), since the assailant expects movement.
