As an outlet for Christian martial artists, The Christian Martial Artist provides us the opportunity to discuss and perfect our styles of martial arts. As we add more videos about various techniques, we are introducing the Situational Self-Defense Challenge. Each issue we will present “What-If Scenario” and we challenge everyone to submit a video demonstrating the best way to escape the situation and why your way is the best. If youthink your technique is the best, prove it. Email a video of your approach to Editor@ChristianMartialArtist.net.
Challenge 1: What if an attacker armed with a knife stabs at you, how do disarm your attacker?
So we can give proper credit to your training, in your video please include your name, rank, and dojo. If you have any other questions, email us at Editor@ChristianMartialArtist.net.
