I was taught by a cell extraction prison riot officer trainer, he always said it’s not a matter of if they cut you it’s a matter of how bad you let them cut you. Some of this brought back memories of 20 years ago.
As someone with a long traditional martial arts background, I find it shocking that every counter-knife technique taught out in the world doesn't involve inflicting immediate damage to the opponent. We all need to stop trying this blocking and trapping stuff and just hit the opponent as hard as possible! Friend of mine used to work part-time as a bouncer many years ago and had a knife pulled on him once. All he did was step off line, a single fend, and then elbowed right to the face and KO'd the guy instantly. Stop blocking, start hitting! I'm glad we have UC content, but it's so sad that this isn't mainstream in every school across the world that teaches self defense.
Most Combatives and Krav teach a combination of block, hit, trap. Each situation is different and it's best to be fluid . (As an FMA student I'm not fond of Any empty handed technique. )
I‘ m a Karate teacher myself, but honestly: These clips are the best on RUclips! Realistic self defence as it should be! I‘ m very impressed! Keep up the good work and I would love to join a seminar of yours!
This is great and with this natural immediate aggression back to the attacker sometimes you may find it actually shocks the attacker and changes the balance of momentum when he realises that you will fight back i understand not in all cases but i understand a little about human psychology in combat situations as i am ex British infantryman that has been in real life and death situations not knife attacks but the psychology of combat is across the board when an attacker sees that you will fight and are not cowering down it can have a big affect on them , like you say ia knife attack is just a terrible situation and its 50/50 if you will live so you might aswel go out on your shield anyway , but i also understand that for most people if not drilled properly freezing up instantly would be the case for most people , i love the realistic approach you have on everything coach 👍💪🙏 also i agree if someone attacks you with a knife you need to hit that killer switch asap amd forget being too tactical or blocking its kill or be killed end of .
What I really love about this, is the fact you use the same basic principle of defense for the knife attack and it could work in real life (ofcourse with some injury, but thats normal). That makes it a perfect drill for every situation.
Most realistic content on RUclips, and also i appreciate one thing that this Master Michael didn't show people bullshit all the contents are so realistic thanks brother keep it up.
I think you are gonna get cut bad no matter what you do. Try to keep your distance and look for anything you can use as a weapon or even just to block with. I know attacks can happen fast so don’t let them catch you daydreaming!
Yeah definitely, if you check out his counter weapons promo on his channel, you would see a clip of him fending knife attacks with a bag(synthetic ally) with his partner..stress testing drills.
YOU ARE COMPETENT AND A GREAT PASSIONATE ABOUT DEFENSE BUT AGAINST BLADES IT IS NOT EASY AT ALL BOTH TECHNICALLY AND EMOTIONALLY, ALMOST EVERYONE FALLS IN PANIC!!! I SURVIVED KNIFE ATTACKS TWICE, BUT IN ONE I ALSO HAD A KNIFE AND IN THE OTHER I HAD A GUN!!!! ATTENTION GUYS, ACT PROMPTLY ONLY IF IT IS ABSOLUTELY UNAVOIDABLE!!! Invia commenti
Thanks for the kind words. Nobody said it would be easy. This is of course a last resort thing to do. This was based on recent knife attack in Germany. An An Escape or an Equalizer were not available.
Always a lot of people criticizing certain principles/techniques… So what are you gonna do when push comes to shove? Hold on to your own stubborn principle? Fair enough, but what if that fixed mindset/principle doesn’t work and you don’t have any options? Then you are f#@*ed! because all you do is criticize things you don’t understand, instead of having an open mind and making an effort in learning something new. Which might be useful. But this is part of the world we live in: Talk, comment, criticize, etc… without understanding something. Listen, watch, receive, learn. Way more valuable and rewarding. As for the video, thank you for the valuable insights and lessons. 🙏🏻💪🏼
Great again by UC. Mikel and Lee Morrison train hit first and even when blocking they are hurting the opponant at the same time. Real life techniques. Great to see. 👍🙏
Taught me better than my Krav Maga coach, much more detail in different situations ❤❤❤Much more practical because not everyone can hit the opponent with enough impact to cause any damage so blocking is very important too
I love your realistic videos man! I just see a problem with the block or shield you showed against a slice to the head. If the agressor does step to the head instead of a slice the tip of the knife will go through the shield
Nobody said I wouldn’t be hit. But you protect the parts that knock you out. Also remember I do this with constant forward pressure and two pointing elbows. I never stand on the spot.
Thank you. Very nice basic defense. From an FMA perspective I really enjoy it when a student does a shirt grab. It makes my life easier. It gives me a point of contact and one less hand to worry about.(That's probably when I'd deploy and attack😊) Just don't learn to go in automatically , as there are plenty of variables. Centerline attack etc.
Wat praat je stoer man? Wijsneus. Wel eens verder nagedacht dan je neus lang is? Met je weglopen. Dat is dus niet altijd mogelijk expert. Uiteraard moet je rennen!!!!!!! Deze video is gebaseerd op de recente aanval uit duitsland. Waar wegrennen dus geen optie was. Mensen zoals jij moeten niet altijd zo stoer doen achter hun toetsenbord. Ga trainen man. Met je makkelijke "adviezen". Wie ben jij man? Jij moet gewoon lekker wieberen want je hebt geen idee waar je over praat. Zure sloot. Als jij denk dat wegrennen altijd mogelijk is. Helemaal goed. In de tussentijd leer ik mijn leerlingen een plan B. En als je daar moeite mee hebt mag je altijd langskomen en me proberen te laten stoppen.
This seems really dangerous. I see the attacker star stabbing you in the back if you fail to secure the arm fast enough or the blow does not stun him enoigh. Do you have any plan B if any of that fails?
You must know that every time Knife is involved you will get hurt badly, but this is your only possibility If the attacker is this Close and you dont have any Tools available
I hope this isn't a stupid question lol. But, if the attacker is left-handed do you still use the same block. Or do you switch sides with the head wrap? Thanks in advance if you have time to get back to me. :)
@@schoolofselfprotection This was my hunch. And whilst drilling it at home I became more certain. But it’s nice to hear it from yourself mate. Really appreciate you getting back to me. Keep up the outstanding work. 👊🏼
I defend from the direction ot the attack. Right from the right. Left from the left. Having said that I use the "comb" defense in training and sparing. Muscle memory.
last friday a well known islam critic was stabbed in germany,also a policeofficer was stabbed trying the stop the attacker,the officer died unfortuanally michael stürzenberger was stabbed but survived.if you watch the video of the attack you'll see how difficult it is to defend such an attack.
Curious tho - yes most people will headhunt when punching because they think of knocking you out vs a body shot. But with a knife, will most attackers try to go for the larger /easier target like your body?
Its not stupid bro. 😆 in my humble opinion the spiked elbow (the block he used) can be used if he is left or right handed and if there is no hand available to wrap, grab the attacker's garment and knee the groin and run!! Get to a safe location, do a self triage (check for injuries, slashes..stabs etc). You should also invest in first aid training and take an individual first aid kit as part of your everyday carry,God forbid incase of an incident you can patch yourself up before heading to the hospital. Remember..you are your own bodyguard. I am sure senior instructor michiel will give you his expert opinion..i am just a student. I hope this helps a bit.
A great solution in addition to videos like this, Is to simply buy bullet and stab proof vests and wear a slash proof shirt over the vest. If you can afford it. Also slash proof neck protection.
I understand there may be moments where all you have to do is fight for your life against a knife, but please, I think it is also important to convey that practically no one is going to come out unscathed from something like this. That is, if possible, if the option is to lose the money, I think it is better to give it than to fight someone armed with a knife.
This is just a clip. In his counter weapons course he clearly states and explains that there is no full proof technique to knife attacks and there is a 99.99% chance you're gonna get cut.
So roll over and wait until it’s over? Or should I teach them to fight tooth and nail with proven tactics when ending up in that nightmare? It’s all about damage limitation and luck.
Actually there is. It takes , training, awareness, agility, aggressiveness and strength. Does it work every time for everyone , No. My trainer can pull a knife in grappling class, we are supposed to "feel the draw", Can I always notice? again no. Sometimes? Yes. etc.
I wanna get my point across so I will not comment on your lesson. Just look up the latest stabbings in Germany and Australia and notice how the attacker stabs and to which body parts. There are 3 stabs per second, never to the head or neck...
Never to the neck????? Are you for real? He is aiming for the neck in that video. If he would change the line of attack nothing will change anyway. Only when there is a stab present we will change the principle.
This was based on the video of the German knife attack. He attacked the neck. For the abdomen we adapt this to something else. It’s not a technique. It’s a principle. And principles can be adapted. And your 90% is absolutely wrong.
Ok expert. Maybe you should experience this “fairytale”? People like you have zero clue why and what we are teaching. Next to that they will never ever post a better solution themselves. Start training before you act all “expert” in the comment section. Nobody cares about your opinion here. Move on princess!
“Don’t think tactical” great line and mind set for dealing with a knife. Thank You for another great video.
Good depiction of UC counter knife concepts, you paid attention in my classes, good to see! Lee M
Just spreading the word pops!!! Let me recover asap. After that we need to meet again. Long overdue!!❤️
Lee Morrison! Legend.
Spiked elbow is useful in so many situations. Thanks for the training !

Boss
Likewise 🙏🏻
He not see where is knive on this defence.
He cant protect from next attack

The stabbing takes place on the abdomen in 90% of the cases. The movement is from down to up and you will not be able to use this technique.
This was based on the video of the German knife attack. He attacked the neck. For the abdomen we adapt this to something else. It’s not a technique. It’s a principle. And principles can be adapted. And your 90% is absolutely wrong.
