An opponent may attempt to grab your wrists to
thwart resistance and force you in a direction of their choosing. They do so to
pull you into a car, house, or other area you may not want to go. Understanding
a few basic moves such as the Anvil and modified Anvil will help to keep your
wrists clear and your options open.
The purpose of the Anvil moves is to clear your
wrists and strike the opponent thereby turning their attack into your counter-attack.
During the wrist pull out it is necessary to use some force with a twist to
loosen the grip and create a release. Try and pull out through the thumbs which
are much weaker when compared to the other digits on the opponent’s hands.
The front snap kick in the Anvil should be either to
the stomach or groin. A proper kick to the groin will immobilize the opponent
quickly leaving enough time to get away. While using the modified Anvil you
should consider hitting the solar plexus to knock the wind out of your opponent
leaving them gasping for air. If you practice it enough you can combine a
sequence of punches with a snap kick that knocks the opponent backward onto the
ground.
