Tip: Highlight text to annotate itX
Hi! I’m Madison Warner and I’ve been instructing for over 10 years for Michael M. Foley system
of Koden Kan Karate and if you’d like to see more about our school and our style please
go to h2hctc.com or my website is mellei.com. Today we’re going to learn our first self
defense technique and it’s called the wedge. Okay you’re just going to stand normally
with your feet about shoulder width apart and this is from an attacker choking you,
so what you’re going to do is you’re going to bring your fist up, cover it with your
other hand, don’t do this…do this…you’re going to step to the inside of their stance
and you’re going to thrust your hands up through their arms, so that’s break the
choke hold, then you’re going to bring your hands back here and strike to the bridge of
the nose, then you’re going to grab behind their neck and do a knee to the groin as you
simultaneously bring their head into your shoulder. This is you know obviously going
to get them go away, okay and let me just show you how that would work on a person,
she comes in and does the choke, I’m going to step in, bring my fist up, cover it and
I’m going to keep my elbows out as I do this and that breaks the choke, you’re going
to strike to the bridge of the nose, when you grab behind the neck keep your thumbs
up so you can control where the head goes and you’re going to bring their head into
your shoulder as you lift into a knee to the groin, okay and that’s the wedge.
