Get Out

One of the drills we did tonight was a 2 on 1 attack.  One student has two attackers coming at them, one of which is grabbing them at close range while the other starts about 6 feet away and comes in once the grab is initiated.  I told the students to let their strikes flow naturally and worry more about their position relative to the second attacker.

Put more simply, I told them to make sure they were fighting one person at a time, if possible.  This strategy begins with the breaking of the grab – the ideal direction of escape should put the defender in a position such that the further attacker needs to get through his own buddy to get to the defender.

The video shows a few clips of the drill.  Watch it and give constructive feedback.  Even though I told the students to worry primarily about positioning, that’s no reason not to check out their striking form, targeting, control, etc.
