This video demonstrates the 'prayerful defense' technique against an overhead knife attack, presented by law enforcement and use-of-force instructor Dan Marcou. The technique involves a specific stance, de-escalation through communication, a 'power pivot' to evade the strike, and a joint manipulation to break the attacker's arm and disarm them. It is presented as a last resort when unarmed.
