Re:

Should one let go of the stick and just turn toward the attacker?
That’s what I did after the initial pluck to get it off my throat and let it rest on the side of my neck. Then I controlled at the attackers elbow. Pulling his elbow straight down (the point of my elbow was pointing straight down at the ground and close to my body when I did this). This semi twists the attackers body to the side your controlling the elbow on and opens up some space. From here I did the combatives (If I wanted I probably could have used the non controlling hand to push the bar off me because now there is less pressure on the side that I’m not controlling because I have twisted the attackers body) because I want to prevent further assault against me as I execute the escape as well as soften him up for the escape.
