Double Wrist Grab
by Joey on Aug.10, 2011, under Techniques
This situation is a very simple one, that can work with both a single and double wrist grab. In this scenario, the attacker grabs both wrists (maybe just one). You will proceed to make circles, either inside or outside circle will work. Circling outside will break the assailants grip, whereas inside will be more painful/damaging, perhaps breaking the wrist. The images below will demonstrate an inside circle motion from a double wrist grab. Always remember to think circles and breathe…
In this first picture, the attacker grabs both wrists. You should take a wide stance, put your tongue to the roof of your mouth, and breathe through your nose.
Begin circling in an outside to inside motion, clockwise.
As attacker pulls, STEP TO HIM (backwards thinking), circle hands outside to inside, moving your hands to your power center.
After breaking the grip (possibly the wrist), proceed to escape from the situation when possible. Maybe you will need to go further than just breaking the grip. If necessary follow through with a groin (inner thigh) strike or other strike until you are in a safe position to escape. More of these strikes, including striking tools and targets to come, as well as new scenarios.
