After watching the video on dynamic unbalancing with
striking, it was quite confusing for me to understand. One thing that I
observed in the video was that the fighter must know where the attacker's point
of unbalancing is broken. Also, I observed the use of the fighter's palm in
pushing the attacker's head. When the chin is pushed with the palm heel, it causes the gliding joint of the neck to
move and the head is tilted backwards thus a force will cause the body to fall
back to its unbalancing point. Also, if
the fighter used a greater force with his palm heel on the attacker's chin
eventually the gliding joint can be severely damaged and the attacker can still
lose his balanced. The key principles
that I observed in the video is that you
have to stay low as possible and block the attacker from getting cut from the
knife and then use the palm to push the attacker's chin and find his
unbalancing point and try to make a run for it. Also, this video implies to
Kudushi (The 8 points of unbalancing) which was the previous lesson that we
learned in Jujustu. Like Sensei Rahming
would tell us in class when using a knife attack nobody will not die if you do
the attack correctly. The wrong way will lead to death. I feel that this video
is practical for any college student or any else. Today in The Bahamas some
gangs would carry a knife to attack a person. If you have the knowledge of this
attack you will be able to escape from your attackers and still have time to
call for help. Three types of unbalancing with striking were demonstrated in
the video. One the Attacker comes with
left foot out, two the attacker comes with right foot out and three body
square. I would be comfortable with attacker with right foot out because I can
bend low as possible, block with the left
hand (only if the attacker has the knife in his left hand) push the chin with
the heel of my palm and find his point of unbalancing. Finally, make a run from
him.
