Pangamot Knife Disarms - Angle 3, Windowpane 4

Maintaining the wrist hold on

Alejandro’s bladed hand, Greg

snakes through Windowpane 4,

securing his own wrist for a Figure 4

arm bar.

By merely

changing his

structure and

standing tall,

Greg torques

Alejandro’s

arm, locking

the elbow

and shoulder.

With a blow to the face with his knee, Greg then steps through, securing Alejandro’s head

and neck. Notice his right hand coming in simultaneously for the disarm.

Alejandro attacks with a forehand Angle 3 strike. Greg

blocks and passes with his left then right hand. Notice

the circular motion Greg employs that naturally turns

into a wrist hold.

He really is just redirecting the attack, revealing

W indowpane 4.

The disarm happens at the weakest

part of the grip, where the fingers

close on the blade. Greg strips the

weapon and prepares for a stabbing

follow-up.
