SIA's AK-47 disarming son busts a self defense move on Dad.

For those of you that have been on the forum for a while,
you may remember that on 6/6/09 my son, who lives in
SE Austin, thwarted a robbery by grabbing an AK-47 from
a bad guy. The BG bit him, they punched one another, bit
one another, and the BG removed the AK mag and beat my
son with it. That was after 2 AK rounds were fired into the
lawn since my son had muzzle control.
The BG was able to run away with only the mag. The AK-47 was
turned over to Austin PD when they arrived.
On a recent visit down to Austin to see my boy (27 y.o.), he
showed me how he fought the guy.
We got to talking about knife attacks, and I told him of the old
trick of wrapping your jacket around your arm in order to fend off
the knife blows.
Then he showed me a really cool move. He had me hold a knife
substitute on him. I used a Craftsman magnetic screwdriver handle,
without any screwdriver bits inserted.
I held it on him, as if I was about to thrust at him. I expected him to
rush me, then sweep the "knife" up, down, or to one side. No - what he
did is he used both of his hands to punch my wrist, one from each side,
with a sharp punch.
Result - my hand involuntarily opened up and the "knife" went flying
15 feet away from us. Very cool. I'd like to think I'd never have to use
this move, but it was nice to learn of it.
