Val Riazanovs HEAD to HEAD combat ….

Here is another simple but extremely effective defense against a two arm grab in an attempt to grab both of my arms – I simply open up my arms to prevent the grab.  Here I am using the powerful leverage of my shoulders and arms to open the attacker up for a couple of very short, quick strikes.  The key here is that the opening of my shoulders effectively ‘loads’ my arms for the strikes.  This is an extremely effective technique that has worked for me many times!
