Hold up Scenarios
Scenario 1 Scenario 1) Player 'A' grabs Player 'B's shoulder and places a knife in his midsection in an attempt to rob him.
Player 'B' hollows out his midsection while simultaneously bringing his hands straight up and catching his weapons hand in the web of both hands and shifting to his right.
From here 'B' will quickly apply a wrist flex. Most people teach it the way shown here using both thumbs, but that is not the best way to apply this technique..........
If you try using your left thumb and place the palm of your right hand on the back of his hand and fingers while pushing at a 45 degree angle I think that you will find that you are able to apply much more pressure and pain to your partner.

the wrist flex and take 'A' to the ground. Remember to bend your knees and drop your weight and center of gravity. Don't just bend at the waist.
Scenario 2 Scenario 2) Player 'A' grabs Player 'B's shoulder and this time puts the knife to his throat.
Your hands should already be up in position as if to say "Take it easy, I don't want any trouble". Move your shoulders and neck back as far as you can (even half an inch is enough) to get the point of the blade away from your throat while grabbing his hand.
Immediately push the knife to your right in order to slash his arm that is holding your shoulder.
Now snap it to your left and apply another wrist flex.
Scenario 3
Scenario 3) Player 'A' grabs Player 'B' from behind while placing the knife in the middle of his back.
Quickly spin to your right to knock the knife away
And grab his hand the same as before
If possible you can again cut his arm that is holding onto you before applying the wrist flex.
Scenario 4 Scenario 4) This time the attacker is behind you BUT the knife is being jabbed into your ribs from the side.
Quickly thrust your right forearm back and jam the knife into his midsection
While using the forearm to keep the knife in place you quickly grab his hand and pull it free
Now you can either grab the knife with either hand or continue with a wrist flex to take him to the ground.
Scenario 5 Scenario 5) Same scenario as #4 except that this time the blade of the knife is in front of your arm
Twisting to the left, you use your left hand to grab and push his hand into his midsection. Your right arm will slide past the blade as you twist and yes, you may get cut.
Press the knife to his body with your free hand and pull the hand holding the weapon away.
Grab the knife and cut to the midsection.
Scenario 6 Scenario 6) Again from behind with the knife to the side of your throat (note that there is a large gap between your bodies)
Quickly turn to the right bringing your right arm up and behind. You should also step out with your left foot to move yourself away from the knife.
Scoop the arm down in a clockwise manner and grabbing the thumb (gatekeeper) use the underhand disarm practiced
earlier.
