Knife Defense to Angle 1 - TFA Intermediate Weapon

Knife Defense
to
Angle 1

(TFA Intermediate Weapon)


Video summary:
Sifu Marcus Lovemore demonstrates the Transformational Fighting Arts intermediate weapons technique - The Knife defense to Angle 1.


Training Suggestions:
As with most knife techniques, keep your motions compact and basically within the width of your shoulders. If you are practicing the motions without a partner, either do it in front of mirror or imagine your partner is in front of you. Regardless, make sure you are aiming at your partner's vital areas with every stroke. Remember to stay out of range of your partners left hand when you vector. Lastly, practice this from inside and outside range and multiple angles.

Good training,
Sifu Marcus

Box Footwork Drill - TFA Fundamental Footwork

Box Footwork Drill
(TFA Fundamental Footwork)


Video summary:
Sifu Marcus Lovemore demonstrates the Transformational Fighting Arts fundamental footwork technique - The box drill.


Training Suggestions:
With the box drill remember to keep your footwork small and your weight on balls of your feet and not your heels. Make sure you always start and end in you on-guard stance. So do not get on your tight rope or collapse your stance. As you get better at this, speed up the pace. Remember this drill helps you practice your ability to transition with balance in any direction. I practice this in 3 minute rounds in both directions. Try 5 to start.

Good training,

Angling From Attack - TFA Intermediate Footwork

Angling From Attack
(TFA Intermediate Footwork)


Video summary:
Sifu Marcus Lovemore demonstrates the Transformational Fighting Arts intermediate footwork - Angling from attack.


Training Suggestions:
Intuitively, when being attacked, a person naturally tries to retreat. The rub is, retreating is the weakest position in an altercation. The most advantageous position in an attack is at the beginning of acceleration or the end of deceleration. Which means ideally taking advantage as the attack speeds up and or slows down. And of the two, responding as the attack speeds up is the most advantageous. The most effective way to do this is: interception and moving off line. Vectoring or angulation is the best way to do this.

Remember to practice this so that you land as your partner's front foot hits the ground and also practice varying the angle of the vector so to notice the advantages and and disadvantages of your positioning. Practice until you have no hesitation. Hesitation here will definitely get you hit.

Good training,
Sifu Marcus

Knife Angles of Attack - TFA Fundamental Weapons

Knife Angles of Attack
(TFA Fundamental Weapons)


Video summary:
Sifu Marcus Lovemore demonstrates the Transformational Fighting Arts fundamental weapons - The knife angels of attack.


Training Suggestions:
Understand that I don't expect anyone to carry around a large combat knife, but there is a saying, "To properly defend against a knife, you must become a knife fighter." What I'm showing you here is the eight angles of attack, which will cover all the ways that you will be attacking and defending yourself from a knife.This also includes any other sharp or blunt object being swung at you.
Remember to practice this until it is smooth and fluid. Keep in mind that you want to keep your strokes within your body width, and generate power from your hip, not your arm. Keep your wrist straight, and your grip strong. Do not hold the knife like you're painting or using a pen or pencil. The knife should be at a right-angle to your forearm. Also, remember to keep your thumb in and over your fingers, as a fist over the knife. Lastly, make sure your non-knife-wielding hand returns to your center, right below your chin.

Good training,
Sifu Marcus
