Defense Against A High Stick Strike – Krav Maga

This page provides details for a Krav Maga defense against a high stick strike. This is a self-defense technique used against an attacker who is trying to strike a [erson’s head or upper body with a stick or club. You should also read the page focused on the Krav Maga defense against a low stick strike. However, be aware that unarmed combat against guns, knives or clubs is very dangerous and should only be used as a last resort. Krav Maga schools teach students to consider other options first (i.e. avoid risky areas or run away from danger). For information on other Krav Maga techniques (i.e. punches, kicks & grappling), please visit Black Belt Wiki’s main Krav Maga Techniques section.

This information is meant to supplement what is taught at Krav Maga schools. To properly understand these techniques, you need to learn them from a certified Krav Maga instructor who can give an in-depth explanation of the technique, correct your mistakes and detail how the technique should be utilized. All martial arts techniques should only be practiced under the supervision of a trained martial arts instructor in order to prevent injuries and to ensure the proper technique is utilized. In addition, all martial arts techniques and training should be used safely and responsibly.
