WARMUP: SSH, IW, CP… all IC, mosey to WEP Amphitheater
THE THANG:
Quick Overview of 7 Knife Attacks(pax hold Al Gore)
Pax get pool-noodle-“dagger” (pic below)
Get coupon from rock pile
• Hilt, Fist, Cut, Thrust, Slash, Drag, Fillet (High Flyers Crush Steel Targets During Fieldwork…)
• Saber Grip vs. Filipino Grip (Thumb position) – discourage reverse/Ice-Pick grip
◦ Saber better for Fist+Hilt… Filipino better for Slash & cut (protects wrist angle)
◦ Reverse Good for Hook & Trap… but not today
• Basic Stance (reverse guard hand to protect hand tendons / protect carotid)
OFFENSE
1 1 Pax does coupon Overhead presses…. Other Carves Alphabet on his Torso
◦ Flapjack
2 All but 1 Pax Holds “Coupon Cross” circle Pose (linked by rocks)…. Last pax in center practices targeting Carotids, Brachial, and Femoral
◦ After getting all pax, trade out to next man
◦ must hold coupons high enough for slasher to access Brachial arteries & spread legs enough for Femoral access (TWSS…)
DEFENSE: hold Al Gore again during instruction
Pax practice this w/ EMOM; Indian run style attacks on same pax practice a single technique at a time
– 4 Burpees then try MEET …
– 10 Merkins then try PASS or FOLLOW
1 Meet: Slash at their hand on the way in (+ 2x force!)… – must use free hand to check his knife hand
2 Pass: Step away, but cut wrist AS he passes
3 Follow: Step away, but backhand cut AFTER he’s gone through
CHALK KILL CHALLENGE: Swap Noodles for Sidewalk Chalk
• NO STRIKING, GRAPPLING, OR “cuts” ABOVE THE NECK
• 30 sec. Goes…. Then # reps = # “cuts”
◦ Man Makers… SSH till 6 is up
• Repeat
5:50-ish: head back to COT
