Defense against a downward stab

• 7-3 inside with an inside shutō block, striking the opponent's inner wrist.
  • Ideally, this causes the opponent to drop the knife.
• Inside elbow strike to the opponent’s floating ribs.
• If the opponent still has the knife, grab their wrist to control the weapon, and and incapacitate them by any means necessary.
