Michael Sims asked me to Take a look a holds from behind, and so here it is.

So, here is one of Fiore's answers. Sorry to skip the full nelson, but it did not fit with my lesson this week.
Key points to take away from this video:
- You don't have a lot of time or space when some one has you from behind.
- Find or make the space you need to act.
- Act in one tempo.
I'll let the video do the talking, but as always I love feedback.

5th remedy of dagger from fiore.
Just working the basics here.
https://youtu.be/Wwrm3spE1A8
The 5th remedy of dagger is an odd duck. The "stick-up" style attack is as old as mankind, with the aggressor (agent) using a display of force to cow the defender (patient) into compliance. Despite the frequent occurrence of this action, it's hard to create a real-feeling context. With out real feeling context, a lot of folks think they can do these moves (and they can), but have no idea when to deploy them. Incorrect deployment is just as bad as doing it wrong in his case.
In the video, I set up a VERY rudimentary context, but I left out emotion. If some one has it in them to use this sort of threat, they will not be calm. They will not likely be calculating. They will be desperate, over-wrought, and probably expecting to win. Use the script of the villain to your advantage, only break from his script when it will aid you, and not before.
I cover it in the video, but I will say it again here: If they are talking, give then a posture and words they might expect. If the knife is coming (as happens in prison style shankings, the old grab & stab combo) then ignore the attached arm, and DEFEND the BLADE.
To sum it up: the remedies of the 5th dagger master are cool, and can work very well if you are in the right situation. In the wrong situation, they are not useful and indeed get you stabbed, so use your judgement.

PS, I'm still taking requests, if there is a topic on your mind.

Spiking your target - 1st master deployments and dealing with the knife.
In a prior article, we talked about Fiore's dagger, and how it gets used. Today, we'll expand on that concept a bit.
I'll let the video do most of the talking, but i want to label this here.
In this class we are doing two types of dagger deployment. One is against the random assault, or the hold up. This is a classic approach to anti-dagger training. The flaw here is that while a good tool to teach the concept, the position is far too static. This is not a game of battle ship, where in we stand and duke it out.
The Second set of drill will take the concept taught in the first, and see if the students can apply these techniques in a more dynamic, less co-operative environment. Now I want to be clear, this is not scenario training, nor is it sparring. This is simply creating a situation where all the pieces are moving, and the agent is not compliant.
Here is an example of a "controlled context drill", which is NOT sparring, but allows the studet to begin to explore the situation, not just the technique at hand. (ALEX here has freedom to use any technique he knows, which is a fair number)

Now, feel free to use you imagination to build on this drill or create other situations with which to deal. My favorites are when the player have reached a neutral bind, sword on sword, and one of them transitions to the dagger.
