Foundational Stance and Grip
The practitioner begins by establishing a secure lock position with the rest arm anchored firmly to the body. This foundational positioning allows the striking arm to execute simple theros strikes with proper biomechanical support and control.
Block One: High Line Defense
The first block addresses a direct strike by positioning the defensive stick to intercept the incoming weapon. The stick slides along the attacker's weapon while the defending hand automatically closes into a grab, immediately transitioning into a disarm sequence.
Block Two: Uppercut Defense and Disarm
When the attacker raises their stick in an upward angle two strike, the defender maintains an open hand position to facilitate stick capture. The defender's automatic hand response cuts across and removes the attacker's weapon, preventing any counter-attack opportunity.
Block Three: Inside Gate Defense
Block three targets strikes coming from the inside gate, protecting both shoulder and elbow with proper angling. The defender's hand makes contact and slides down the attacker's weapon, creating leverage for the automatic grab and disarm.
Block Four: Cross-Body Cut and Removal
In block four, the defender keeps their hand positioned at the bottom while cutting the incoming stick horizontally across the body. The defender then rotates and completely removes the attacker's weapon through a controlled circular motion.
Block Five: Overhead Strike Defense
Block five defends against overhead strikes by moving inside the line and positioning the stick vertically. The defender's hand automatically closes on the weapon while the opposite arm pushes and secures control, leading to complete disarmament of the attacker.
Application: Angle Two Strike Response
The complete technique demonstrates the practical application of block five against angle two strikes with simultaneous disarming. This integrated response neutralizes the threat while removing the attacker's primary weapon in a single fluid motion.
