The Two-On-One Knife Defense System

The “Two-On-One Knife Defense System”, as presenting it here, has evolved over the years as a series of connecting “hubs” that allow you to find reproducible positions that then allow you to take charge of an opponent’s knife wielding arm. As we’ve prepared our students year-in and year-out to prevail under stressful randori scenarios involving a knife it has become evident that we needed simple techniques that prevented our partners from being able to freely move their arm and pass the knife to their other hand. Furthermore, the techniques used needed to be completely familiar to the To-Shin Do practitioner so that they are easily implementable. This system is the result of that exploration.
