Krav Maga - Knife Defense against Upward Stab (Control to Disarm Transition Details)

In this Student Section video we go over the control to disarm transition details for Knife Defense against Upward Stab (Level 5 technique).

The transition from the control position to the disarm, or takeaway, position is the most difficult stage of the defense for students to execute properly.

This video addresses the following details:

1. The importance of forward shoulder pressure while controlling the knife to avoid taking your eyes off your opponent and prevent them from taking your back.
2. Two grip variations to practice to get to the two handed control position.
3. Getting to the wrist grip while maintaining control of the weapon.
4. Keeping the weapon away from your throat and face while transitioning to the disarm/takeaway position.

The videos on this YouTube channel are NOT a replacement for actual instruction. They do not teach techniques, but instead isolate and fix problems within the technique or its individual components. The videos are designed to help the student who has already learned the technique under the instruction of a qualified instructor.

Important Note: These videos are specific to the techniques and curriculum taught to the students at our facility. Students from other Krav Maga schools and organizations are more than welcome to watch and use these videos and we hope they find them useful! However, variations may be taught that are different from the techniques taught at other Krav Maga locations. This doesn't mean one variation is wrong or the other is right. They are just variations...plain and simple. The most important question for any technique or defense should be this: Does it work for the individual who is performing it? As long as it does, then the technique or variation has merit, regardless of where it comes from! That's the number one principle that we emphasize at our school.
