The pass is not recommended for beginners. You run the risk of becoming disoriented or losing your footing when you move so quickly and with such force. You also risk being tripped by yourself or your assailant as you pass. Finally, you run the risk of not being fast enough to complete the pass and not getting a grip on your opponent to control his knife.

Tips

Whichever method you choose, there are a few common principles:

• Stay as close to your opponent as possible after you close.

• Focus on taking control of the knife first.

• Grabbing the knife wielding hand is always preferable to parrying/blocking.

• Cut off your attacker's view of the knife.

• Close the distance quickly and smoothly.

• Never take unnecessary chances or use complicated techniques.

• Detach yourself from the fear you feel when faced with a weapon.

• Stay alert but unemotional.

• Keep a natural demeanor and deceive your opponent.

• Move suddenly and without warning.
