Pangamot Knife Disarms - Angle 3, Windowpane 2

Notice Greg’s grounded A-stance and

how his double-hand grip keeps the

bladed hand under control.

Alejandro squares off and attacks Greg with a forehand Angle 3. Greg blocks with his
left hand. He passes with his right hand and secures Alex’s bladed weapon hand.
This reveals Windowpane 2.

Greg sweeps his right leg back for the hip throw. Again, notice Greg’s structure; his elbows in check affording him maximum
strength and control.

He’ll keep control of the

now weapon-free hand

while simulating a

slashing follow-up.

Stepping through,

Greg plants his left

knee at the base

of the skull.

Matching his hand with

the weakest part of

Alejandro’s grip, Greg

strips the weapon.

With an easy torque to the elbow,

Greg snakes through Window-

pane 2, fixing a devastating arm

bar. Even Alejandro’s footing is

compromised.
