One of the simplest defenses in any of the armed arts is to hit the other guys hand/arm so he can't use a weapon, call it a "defang" or whatever, hit him in the arm and it can change the nature of the fight. So how do you prevent it?
One of the things about getting out of my PTK bubble and doing Dog Brothers is seeing something of cross-section of FMA in the US, though some systems are clearly represented far more than others. But what I see is often a lack of hand movement in the lead weapon hand, and that to me becomes a be red glaring target. In Pekiti we frown on having any sort of immobile hand to avoid being predictable and to disguise the initiation of your attacks. What kind of training do you receive or do you do to prevent being predictable in your atacks? Or do you? do you establish an guard position that is designed to counter the potential of attacks?
