Overhead Reverse Grip Committed Attack - Shoulder Jam
With a committed attack bearing down on you with a lot of force, it is absolutely important to be able to stop the knife if you are stuck on the inside of the attack.
the strongest way to stop the attack is to turn your hips into the attack and check the arm coming down and your other hand drives into their should joint to stop their momentum. You can hit to the fit but it won't necessarily stop the downward pressure. So again, jam their shoulder to initially survive the attack.
