Long Arm Defeat

Against a straight arm planted on your chest: attack the elbow rather than the hand, drop your inside shoulder and get under it. Put an object on the ground one yard outside the defender and grab it on the way past: that’s what forces your hand to really swipe.
Key points
- Start with two aggressive steps forward to close the gap.
- Plant your inside foot and cut outward by dropping your shoulder.
- Grab the object on the ground as you go by: if your hand doesn’t reach it, the swipe was too short.
Common mistakes
- Attacking the outstretched hand, which pulls away, instead of the elbow that carries the force.
- Staying high on your feet, which lets his arm keep you at a distance.
