Dog Catcher

Another Crafty Dog technique.

The Dog Catcher is similar to the Inayan knife defense with an X block, but adds a head butt for distraction and positioning of the head against opponent's neck.

The Dog Catcher variation has a Pekti Tirsa hand up and the other hand down to trap the arm of the knife attacker and milk down to the wrist. Remember the initial false lead to set up the striking dog bite and head butt.

Pass under to my right to position myself to the outside.

Left hand under the arm.

Right hand over the wrist/thumb meat.

Hold arm tight to chest.

Be careful if opponent attempts to pull out the knife against your chest (survival better than stomach). If you feel the pull ride the knife and counter.
