Spurned Affections: (ABC)

(A.) Rear Garrote: Since both of his hands are occupied with the Garrote, all you have to do is turn and face him. Both of his hands are tied up trying to choke you while both of your hands and feet are free to attack him. Grabbing his head with both of your hands drive your thumbs into his eyes. Maintain your grip on his head and drive your rear knee into his abdominal floor driving through and planting forward.

(B.) Rear Shoulder Grab: Step back 45° to your right with your left foot, pivot to a fighting stance, and left outward twisting strike to his arms as you right punch his solar plexus if he is very close you may opt to use your right elbow for the strike; grab his left wrist with your left hand as you retract your right arm to the chamber position, cross over in advance with your right foot then pivot to a Naihanchi stance, tripping him, pull your left hand towards your left hip, forcing him down with your right vertical forearm as you break his elbow.

(C.) Two Hand Push or Shoulder Grab: Step forward with your left foot to a forward stance (outside his right foot), double inward parry (catching his wrists) with tiger mouths, push his left arm back (across and on top of his right forearm) with your right hand, your left hand (with his right wrist) against and on top of the crook of your right arm; pull your right arm in to your chest (pinning his right forearm against your chest) passing under your left forearm, your left hand rotates clockwise adjusting to his right palm (so you can catch his right hand with your left hand); cross back in advance 45º left forward with your right foot, as you continue your right forearm’s movement around his right forearm (until your right knife hand is on top of his right wrist), lock both of your elbows to your ribs (to prevent his forearm from escaping); Kenpo lock his right arm; pivot 180º, spiraling down, kneel on your left, for takedown and restraint.

Welcome to the Party: (ABC1-2)

(A.) You have a knife – He has a knife: Your knife is in your right hand, the hilt is in your hand butt forward, and the double edge (the best option for a knife) is along your forearm. As his thrust comes in, with your left hand parry his knife to your right side as you right hook his wrist with your knife and pull his knife hand to your right rear, step forward with your left foot to the outside of his left side, placing your left palm against his right upper arm, pinning it to his right side temporarily, with your knife deliver a right hooking throat slash, cutting his trachea and carotid arteries, keeping your left hand on his upper arm shuffle forwards a bit, and clockwise downward circular right stab the soft center of his right pectoral girdle penetrating the interior of his thoracic cavity to the heart and lungs area; once in rock and roll your knife attempting to cut the aorta.

(B.) You have a knife – He has a rifle and body armor: Your knife is in your right hand, the hilt is in your hand butt forward, and the double edge (the best option for a knife) is along your forearm. As his rifle comes up, step forward along and outside his right side, your left hand pushing against the rifle’s upper receiver as your right-hand circles over the top of his receiver and hooks his left wrist pulling his left hand forward as you cut it, shuffle forward as you deliver a right hooking throat slash, cutting his carotid arteries, keeping your left hand on his upper receiver shuffle forwards a bit, and clockwise downward circular right stab the soft center of his right pectoral girdle penetrating the interior of his thoracic cavity to the heart and lungs area; pull your knife out and place your blade against his trachea as you step forward with your right then left foot pushing against his trachea forcing him back, transfer your left hand to his right shoulder and as you crescent step forward behind his legs with your right foot, pivot to your left, pulling down with your left hand and punching down with your knife to cause him to trip and fall.

(C1.) You have a knife – He has a rifle and body armor: Your knife is in your right hand, the blade is facing forward conventionally. As his rifle comes up, step forward along and outside his right side, your left hand pushing against the rifle’s upper receiver as your right-hand drives your knife underneath his armor into his left abdominal wall. Now something no one else will tell you! You cannot draw your knife across his abdomen and disembowel him! That’s right! The morons who tell you to do this have NEVER actually done it. His clothing will prevent it from happening. Instead, you have to rotate your wrist while your knife is inside him, cutting his lower abdominal organs, bringing your blade through his abdominal wall, and cutting the muscle as you violently pull your knife out of his body. As soon as your knife is free, drive it upwards between his mandibles and through his tongue muscle penetrating the palate into his brain. Push the hilt to your left then pull right, and once more push left, then pull it out and immediately thrust it through his left eye socket pushing right, pull left, push right, transfer your left hand to his right shoulder, and as you crescent step forward behind his legs with your right foot, pivot to your left, pulling down with your left hand and punching down with your knife to cause him to trip and fall. Overkill? Darn right!

(C2.) You have a knife – He has a rifle and body armor: Your knife is in your right hand, the blade is facing forward conventionally. You notice his rifle is positioned so as to prevent you from attacking his left abdominal wall underneath his armor, step forward along and outside his right side, your left hand pushing against the rifle’s upper receiver so it remains against his body as your right hand slides your knife to his right inside groin area, pull your knife up and to your left attempting to cut through his clothing and sever his left femoral artery, (get your left arm out of the way) continue upward along his left side to neck height then reverse direction and slash his left carotid artery continuing along his trachea, (if you do not know by now, this is going to be a horrible, horrible, bloody mess. You take the risk of being blinded by his blood) move your left hand to his right shoulder and as you crescent step forward behind his legs with your right foot, with your knife still in your hand, grab his left shoulder and pivot to your left, pulling down with your left hand and pushing down with your right hand.

Close Encounters: (A1-4,B1-5)

(A1.) Pistol to the Forehead: This is done as one smooth movement. As you raise your hands in submission, try to verbally distract him, reach up with both hands grabbing the pistol, your right hand, thumb and forefinger around the grip, your left hand, thumb and forefinger around the slide above, as you are doing this bend your knees to lower your head and push the pistol up over your head, twist the pistol to horizontal to prevent him from jerking it out of your hands as you bend the pistol barrel up and no longer pointing at you; pull the pistol down to your solar plexus while forcing the muzzle towards him (this may trap his trigger finger in the trigger guard breaking it). As you twist the pistol free from his grip rotate the pistol to a proper grip and step back out of range to deliver two center mass shots and one to the head.

(A2.) Pistol to the Back of the Head: Pivot to a twisted stance facing to the rear (him), your right hand executes an outward brushing parry to his right forearm sliding your right hand to the pistol and his hand keeping the pistol from pointing at you; step forward with your right foot, as your left hand reaches over the top of the pistol grabbing the pistol and his hand with your, thumb and forefinger around the slide. Your right hand adjusts to gripping the pistol grip and his hand with your thumb and forefinger around them. stepping back (90° to his right) with your right foot, twist the pistol to horizontal as you bend the pistol barrel up. Pull the pistol down to your solar plexus while forcing the muzzle towards him. As you twist the pistol free from his grip rotate the pistol to a proper grip and step back out of range. Be prepared for the pistol to discharge at any point during this technique possibly deafing, burning, or delivering a shock wave to your face. You must continue and complete your move.

(A3.) Pistol Chest or Stomach high - Speed strip: Left hand rises catching the frame ahead of the trigger guard with the web of your hand as your right hand reaches out cupping the rear of the pistol. Pull back with both hands, the right rotating the weapon so it faces the opponent in a proper grip with both hands.

(A4.) Pistol Chest or Stomach high:

(B1.) Knife Pressing Against Your Throat: First, the knife never should have gotten there, but it did. Second, knives cut by slicing or poking. It is hard to cut something by just pushing on something unless the knife is extremely sharp. .

(B2.) Rising Throat Slash: .

(B3.) Knife Threatening Chest or Stomach high - Speed strip:

(B4.) Overhead Knife Slash:

(B5.) Overhead Knife Stab: Step forward with your right leg and simultaneously upward outward 45° left parry his descending knife strike at his wrist or lower forearm and right palm strike his face (not his forehead or his chin); you have distracted him and taken away his space; get off the line by twisting your upper torso a bit, as you circle your left hand throwing his knife hand into your right hand grip; step forward with your left foot as your left arm shoots beneath his right arm applying an armbar on his elbow to prevent him from bending his elbow, bring your left arm around and on top of his right forearm applying an armbar lock and cranl it on to cause his grip to weaken so you can remove the knife. At this point you can spin and use the knife on him.
