any counter would be awesome, but it's low percentage & difficult to do. so normally, 1st you would have to defend the attack by getting to the clinch because that is where the mantis grip is good for, extreme close quarters.
What would be the best way to defend against a frontal attack to the solar plexus if you were employing the use of the mantis grip with your right hand?
depending on the knife and the situation, the mantis grip can be very very good
for one thing, pulling motion that can be used for this grip is a very strong motion, if you think about it, it is similar to the way we row a boat. we freaking move the boat forward this way! 🙂
Hi thanx for watching and commenting, there is more ways of gripping the knife, and the reasons and tactics that go along with it which is not in the video. this is just an intro type thingy 😉

I tend to go with the mantis grip myself but have found that has its limitations.
