During a discussion in the Kenpo section, I posted the following video clip, of Jeff Speakman (Kenpo) doing a knife disarm.

Chris Parker commented that some of the things that Jeff was doing in the clip, ie: using the knife to basically slice and dice the other guy, was severe overkill and would probably land you in jail. Using the blade against a now unarmed opponent, would probably be frowned upon in court. Now, as a Kenpo guy myself, yes, alot of the techs, do contain 'overkill' though some like to refer to it as 'overskill', but nonetheless, Chris made some valid points.
So, the purpose of this thread is to discuss the use of a weapon on someone, who you just disarmed. Is it right? Wrong?
