COMBAT PRINCIPLES and APPLICATIONS
1. The knife is for thrusting not slashing. Thrusting is
the primary method of attack for killing. Slashing is the
secondary method of attack and used to counter grabs, traps,
and locks. For every thrust there is a slash, for every slash
there is a thrust.
2. Knife to Knife attributes: Precision-Speed-Timing-Power-Sensitivity
3. Use of arching thrusts versus linear – more difficult
to accurately counter.
4. Seven (7) lethal target areas:
Groin
Kidney
Armpit
Carotid artery
Nape of the neck
Inside of the eye
Heart
5. Primary Fighting Positions:
OPEN – Open body position, both hands raised and slightly
forward of the body, elbows bent, shoulders relaxed. Utilized
to draw opponent into range and to draw attacks to the hands
for counter-offense attacks.
CLOSED – Bladed body position, blade hand forward,
application of thrusting, slashing, and jabbing attacks.
6. Strategic Range Applications:
JABBING – (Tirsia Largo) Long range jabbing and counter
jabbing attacks. Primary targets are the weapon hand and the
bridge. Counter attacks to the weapon hand with attacks to
the bridge.
RUNNING – (Tirsia Corto) Close range direct thrusting
and slashing attacks. Counter-offense tapping and trapping
attacks with outbalancing and disengagement.
TRAPPING – (Pekiti-Pekiti) Extreme close-quarters attacks
with tapping, trapping, locking, throwing and disarming.
