Underhanded Stabbing Practice

The art of underhanded stabbing is a delicate dance of wrist motion and misdirection. It requires a steady hand and a quick flick of the wrist.

The underhanded stab starts with a firm grip, the blade held close to the target, but not too close. The wrist is cocked back, ready to strike.

The target is approached with a confident stride, the attacker feigning a sense of nonchalance. The stab is delivered with a smooth, almost imperceptible motion, like a snake striking in the night.

A good underhanded stab is a thing of beauty, a true masterclass in subtlety and finesse.
