Jujitsu - Defense against weapons - 2 handed overhead attack
Your opponent attacks you with a short weapon (crowbar, baseball bat, stick) in a two handed overhead attack.

Step in to his attack, and stop his attack at the wrist, moving outside his attack (if you catch with your left hand, you'll be catching the attackers left hand, and you will move him to your left; if you catch with your right hand, you'll be catching the attackers right hand, and you will move him to your right)

With your free hand, reach under your arm, and grasp your attackers free arm at the elbow crease.

Turn in to your attacker, pulling him down by his elbow, similar to an arm-bar throw.
