Defending with your Dagger in Hand

The Seventh Master meets the attacker by gripping your own dagger with both hands while your arms are crossed. This is a very strong and securely braced defensive position. Once the defense is made, we'll use counter attacks learned from various unarmed masters.

The Eighth Master defends against the opponent's rising thrust using your dagger gripped with both hands. The sixth master gives us a wide variety of counter attacks, along with several interesting disarms.

The Ninth Master defends against the opponent's descending attack using your dagger gripped with both hands. Counter attacking options we learned from the first, third and fourth masters become available to finish the play.
