I agree you will get cut. The movies aren't real life. Arnis is a good system to defend from a knife when you have a stick or weapon similar. I've had a knife pulled on me 5 times and survived by using an equalizer or talked my way out of the danger. When I faced the knife, I was scared staring at a sharp blade that could slice me. Luckily my training kicked in. In the last year I have trained in AMOK which is the best knife defense I have ever encountered in my 54 years of Martial Arts training.
