Dan Do Mak Ki means defense against knife attack.
When opponent attacks with a knife from the front or side,
you should avoid the attack or block his
hand and counter with a kick, punch, or joint lock.
When training against a knife attack,
you should concentrate on opponent's movement,
keep your mind calm for instant judgment,
and have proper breathing control for better movement.
In an actual attack you should try to avoid the
knife by staying to the outside of the opponent,s arm.
If a cut is unavoidable, it is better to sacrifice an
arm or leg to protect the head, chest and abdominal area.
Dan Do Mak Ki prepares the student for attacks with
knife thrust, stab, and side-to-side slash.
