Reverse (pakal or icepick) Grip vs Forward Grip.

It's necessary to close in when in reverse grip as executed in the first round.

When using forward grip, you have the advantage of reach as carried out efficiently in the second round (stab to the face).

Take note also of the trapping hand as seen on both rounds.

Knife against Knife. A most unlikely situation that you can get yourself into but we spar to develop range estimation, timing, footwork, etc, and most of all to have fun while learning. These two ladies will have improved their chances of surviving under such circumstance.

Handgun Disarming. This is part of a series of lessons for security personnel under Unarmed Defense where they are taught how to defend against common gun situations. By actually performing these techniques, you would have gained the confidence and prowess or "lakas ng loob" to act when such an event happens. The whole series is designed in progression so students can understand the principles and then apply them without ever knowing all the techniques. Understanding one principle equates to multiple techniques. If you think your security agency can benefit from this, please contact us and arrange for a demo.

When you have decided to practice your craft, do not forget that consistency is key to mastering it.

Raw footage of how these security personnel were taught a few first steps to successfully restrain a hostile person. Most people would almost always react when their hands are grabbed but when grabbed while distracted, it should work.

If you are interested in this short practical course that we offer and happen to work for a Security Agency or Law Enforcement, please contact this page.

Knowing how to take down a person to the ground is an important skill to learn when working with a security group. There will come a time when a guest has to be restrained without the need to cause serious physical injury. If you work with a security agency and is interested with this, please contact us.

Grandmaster Salvador Caballero or Tiyu Bador started learning De Campo 1-2-3 Original when he was just 13 years old. He then became his father's assistant instructor teaching in different places in Mindanao. He now lives in Ibo, Toledo City in Cebu together with his nephew Master Jomalin Caballero who teaches the family system that was created and developed a long time ago in 1925 by Grandmaster Jose Caballero.

The objective is to get inside quickly and outbalance the assailant. Grabbing the forearm can work in a different scenario as it is difficult to grab the arm of an incoming knife attack as demonstrated in this video. You only do this maneuver if you can anticipate the angle of attack, otherwise just resort to forearm destruction or direct assault (which is advised for multiple opponents and will depend on the level of your training if you can effectively neutralize an attacker with one or two blows) especially if the attacker seems to know how to handle the knife. If you must run, make sure the attacker can't catch up. If you have a gun, remember the 21-foot rule.

In all the sparring sessions we've experienced, attacking first without a sound strategy will get you hurt. The mayor was brave but that was really a stupid move. Kudos to the authorities, they did the right thing, that is, not killing the deranged man.
