Edgewater man attacks police officers with sword

Posted on by mdkali

Not an April Fool’s joke …

Michael Beach, age 44, charged a sheriff’s deputy with a sword, when the officer attempted to serve a protective order filed by Beach’s mother. The deputy suffered a rib fracture as he evaded the attack, but was otherwise uninjured.

Beach was eventually arrested after tactical officers used “a chemical agent”, beanbag rounds and, finally, a Taser to subdue him after an 8-hour standoff. Beach was taken to the Maryland Shock Trauma Center with a reportedly self-inflicted wound to his chest.

We continued to polish 3 of 9 phase II tapping. Michael and Brian went on to free flow with grappling. At the end of class, we re-introduced AK long blade evolution 1. We were able to cover the first four counts, which includes two retreating point down deflections and two point up deflections. Morgana was introduced to the first few counts of 3 of 9 and cross tapping.

We reviewed the Sayoc salutation, then continued to review 3 of 9 phase II tapping and transition drills. We emphasized that phase II tapping should still maintain the structure of “regular” 3 of 9 tapping, otherwise we’d be exchanging a strike for a cut or thrust – not a good trade-off.
