Defanging The Snake
"Defanging the snake" is a common term regarding a variety of defensive techniques versus an armed opponent, in which said opponent is forced to drop his weapon due to massive tissue disruption, thereby rendering the weapon hand useless — sometimes permanently.
The original phrase is translated from Indonesian, and is familiar to practitioners of the martial art Silat, which is primarily blade orientated; however, similar techniques exist in all fighting systems which incorporate edged weapons — from Eskrima to Western fencing.

Famous quotes containing the word snake:
“The great snake lies ever half awake, at the bottom of the pit of the world, curled
In folds of himself until he awakens in hunger and moving his head to right and to left prepares for his hour to devour.”
—T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
