Through hard concentration, he did not feel any pain, he said. Dr. Eric Deudon, a Texas A&M French professor, demonstrated a method of jujitsu for defense against an attacker with a knife. The method consists of getting out of the path of the knife last quickly and at the right time. Deudon stressed that a knife-armed attacker should be faced bare-handed only as a last resort. “Don’t hurt yourself if you can avoid it,” he said. The Hapkido Club, which spon sored the demonstration, is a newly recognized student organization. The three instructors, Long, De udon and Munehani Sato, a blackbelt in kempo, will conduct classes four days a week. Kempo is another form of martial arts. The classes will not be limited to strictly hapkido, Deudon said. Techniques ofjujitsu and kempo will also be shown, he said.
