The following technique is a disarming move called a 'Vine'. It's foundation is good footwork, body posture and distancing. As all disarm moves go they should never be the first or inital technique, rather if and only if the right circumstances permit, always a good hard strike is required first.
 
 

   1.   Prepare to defend (good guard)
 

   2.  Check and block with stick
 

       3.  Counter use other arm to cover
 

   4.  Insert stick at opponents wrist
 

        5.   Use scissors movement,
                                                 opponents stick travels down
                                                 yours up and always counter
                                                 with a hard strike to finish.
