Judo or Jiu-Jitsu technique, likely a counter or disarming move against a knife attack. Let’s go through each frame step by step so we can fully appreciate what’s going on here:
🥋 Step 1: The Threat Approaches
The attacker (in blue) comes at the defender (in white) with a knife in a downward
or thrusting motion.
The defender starts moving slightly to the side to avoid a direct attack and gets
ready to engage the wrist.
🥋 Step 2: Control the Weapon
The defender grabs the attacker’s wrist or forearm to stop the knife hand.
At the same time, the defender steps slightly diagonally forward and inward —
super important to avoid getting stabbed while also getting into a strong position.
This sets up leverage for a redirection and lock.
🥋 Step 3: Redirect and Strike
Here's where it gets spicy 🔥 — the defender strikes the attacker’s arm or shoulder
(usually with an elbow or forearm).
This has two goals:
-To weaken the attacker's grip on the knife.
-To break their posture and balance.
Notice how the knife is turning away — control is shifting.
🥋 Step 4: Apply the Arm Lock / Leverage
The defender pulls the attacker’s arm across their own body, locking it under their
armpit or across the chest.
This is either a shoulder lock or lever-based disarm, making it hard for the attacker
to fight back or maintain grip on the knife.
It looks a bit like a modified "Ude Garami" (entangled arm lock) in Judo.
🥋 Step 5: Final Control or Takedown
The defender has full control now. The attacker is off-balance and disarmed.
The final stance could lead into a takedown, submission, or restraining hold,
depending on the situation.
Also, this position is safe enough for the defender to call for help or detain the
attacker if needed.
✅ Pro Tips:
The key throughout this move is angle and wrist control — you never want to fight
force with force.
Timing is everything — too late, and you
