Level 4 is where weapon defense enters the curriculum. Your test will ask you to show:

Strikes. Ax kick and spinning heel kick.

Defenses against kicks. General defense against medium to high kicks by cover, redirect, and shield and wrap, and high kick defense by covering, redirecting, and spinning.

Stick defense. Defense against an overhead swing on the live side and dead side, and defense against a baseball bat swing using the stabbing defense and shield and wrap.

Knife defense. Threats from the front at low, medium, and high positions, threat at the throat with a grab, and hostage position at the throat and low back.

Handgun defense. From the front close and tight at low, medium, and under the chin, from the side in front of and behind the arm, from all angles near a wall, and from all angles with same side and cross body grabs.

Long gun defense. From the front on the live side, dead side, and to the head, to the side of the head, from the side in front of and behind the arm, and from behind both close and at distance.

Takedowns. Single leg, double leg, high C, and ankle pick.

Drills. Shark tank with knife, handgun, and long gun, and mixed sparring with takedowns.

All weapon work at this level runs on R.C.A.T.: redirect the weapon off your body, control it, attack, and take it away when the moment is right.
