THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS KNIFE DEFENSE...

- Whether to take an offensive or a defensive approach in martial arts and is life is often a sweet science. But when it comes to a knife, we practice “Run-Jitsu” 🏃♂️
Training knife is often controversial, but we still like to explore various takes. In this video, Tuhon Apolo Ladra shows a great drill for developing sensitivity and talks about in Pekiti-Tirsia Kali it is important to only be on offense... in fact, their position is that defence “is the other guys problem.”
What are you thoughts about this philosophy?

I've heard "the loser of a knife fight dies on the spot, the winner dies 20 minutes later in the hospital"
The winner or rather winners were never there to begin with. Avoiding large crouds of people, living in an area with no gangs/ low crime ect. is way better than having to deal with all this degenerate bs.
yeah i only met one old mexican guy who was a knife fighter and he was in prison for a long time and showed me his arm covered in scars and said he was an idiot back then.
wow they got him to the hospital really fast
@@stiimulihaha, they were probably fighting in the waiting room over who got to see the doc next
There are guys who have survived knife fights.
BGF, Eme, NF, AB, CCO, BNCO, UBN, etc members Have survived knife fights.
Lala from 62 ECC (East Coast Crip), engaged in a knife fight against some Mexican Mafia. He came out unscathed, while the Eme members suffered some stab wounds. No one died.
This was at Folsom.
There are a lot more stories where people have survived.
Pretty much. Practice with someone using a large permanent marker and you get a pretty accurate indication of why to stay out of knife fights
@@xayxay7669 I absolutely agree. I'm one of them.
At the end off the fight I would look like Jeff from athlean-x

JT very true.
Knives always cut very quickly.
Everyone gets hurt in a knife fight. If only one person gets hurt ... It's the one that doesn't have a knife

Most knife attacks are sudden and invisible. So distance is your best defense and offense.
nah am god no matter what weapon you use i can stop you
@Ashley Stephenson definitely not. Yes, you will be able to hurt them, but if you don't train any martial art you won't be able to kill them
You won't get distance. They won't show you the knife till they are in your face, or even behind you. Good luck trying to outrun someone who's standing so close their breath hits you in the face.
@@SABbrew distance comes from situational awareness which in turn is a by product of common sense.
@@arkot5458 Good point but a lot of comments here lack common sense. This video is just a demonstration when you have no way out of it. Better try to minimize the damage if you can't run. And sometimes training like can give you awareness on how knife attackers do theit thing so you can run first before getting cornered
The demonstration of the drill at speed has re-embedded my deep conviction to NEVER get trapped into a knife fight. All I can see is a rapidly spreading network of wounds forming all over one's body. It only takes a fraction of a second for the attacker to slip past your blocks and counters and you are done. No wonder warriors in the days of edged weapons wore armor, there is no way to protect all of the vulnerable areas from persistent skilled or even semi skilled attacks.
Of course there is a way to protect against even Samurai level skill bladed weapons attacks.
That's why modern militaries don't worry about bladed weapons anymore. They are essentially useless in 2024.
Just pull out a firearm and the fight is halfway over.
Even works against multiple knife attackers.😂

Maybe you laugh at me today. And tomorrow. And the day after. But when a psycho with a gun comes walking in shooting everyone and their mother I will be the one with a big grin.
And I will actually have two grins. One because I am the one wearing a vest in an armed country full of people raised to be sharks, and two the people who have been laughing are probably the reason why there is a psycho with a gun.
Been boxing for years, one of the best self defense tactics is limit your time around humans in public. Always be alert, don’t put nothing past anyone. Humans are more emotional than logical. Conflict is not always avoid, however “staying out the way” and keeping humans out of your business is very powerful if mastered.
soft like a women
This is my favorite self defense technique. Peace and quiet
I prefer my 'conflicts' on TV rather than 'live' these days😅 maybe I'm just getting old and lazy😂😂😂
@@davidhenningson4782Not lazy, smarter
Lol what country do you live in. Sounds like a place not ideal for living
I love how every "knife defense" video always has "attackers" that never attack.
This is for learning and demonstration purposes. In real life doesn't matter what training you have if you get stabbed you're in trouble, if the master got stabbed in a demonstration, he's an idiot.
You don't understand learning very well.
The title says everything about this video. You can practice to help you better understand but you are not gonna win fighting against a person with a knife.
Yes because every fighting tactic employed today, known to man was never ever demonstrated in a class setting, right?
And i doubt people stab once and leave their arm hanging. Its usually a grab and stab10+ times
Most people stabbed to death dont have 1or 2 stabs, its usually wel into the double digits.
Knife defence is very very very hard, you will get cuts, however, in countries like mine and many other South East Asian countries, thugs do not carry guns or have access to guns as easily as in the West. Hence, weapons use in fights is sharp and pointed blades aside from stick etc... Learn to defend against knives and sharp weapons is a must and it is better than nothing, you'll have a better chance to survive when you cannot "RUN"! Funny that ppl always say "RUN", thugs do not show you they have a knife, the moment you see the knife, you have seconds to react, no one is going to show you the knife until they are close enough to stab your ass. If someone shows you a knife before even coming close to you, yes run! The purpose of the drills for knife defence is to train you to take as minimal damage as possible while returning the strikes to put the other guy down or give you enough time to escape. Growing up in rough areas in poor countries, fights are always with knives, machetes etc... the more you train, the higher chance you will survive with no life-threatening injuries. If you do see a knife coming and you can't run because you're trapped in a space and you have enough time, grab something else around you to defend it, a chair, your belt, roll up your newspaper or magazine, bare hand combat with knives is basically last resort and you better be sure your mind and your body are committed to accept damage and be ready with no remorse to really hurt the opponent or kill him. All your training will go to shit if your mind is not ready to really hurt or kill someone when facing such a situation.
🤷♂️ ahhh thank youuu! Finally some damn common sense in the comments!
I agree!👍
Brilliant. From Philippines here. My father survived the war and would use his Kali skill in close combat. He was able to make the robber who entered the house flee with a single strike and lived to see his kids and grandkids before taking resting. Rip Dad.
I like this perspective. Everyone keeps emphasizing running away which is fine in certain situations but if you embrace that mentality too much, as you said, your training will go to shit. Your resolve will be weak.
Run is the best policy. Read his comment. If you can't run then fight. However, IF YOU CAN RUN, THEN RUN. I have seen people holding a knife in one hand but stab you with the other hand and he has only one knife. Kali is great in knife fighting but a knife that disappear and reappear from left to right hand or vice versa is beyond dangerous. Follow the knife.
I knew a man with a black belt in 3 martial arts. He told me the best knife defense without a gun was to wrap a jacket around your arm and run like hell.
I personally have never got a speed boost from wrapping a jacket around my arm
Also wearing leather as often as you can. Leather is tough to cut. You're a bit more prepared.
Stupid advice. If you run, you're exposing your back. Why the F would you remove one armor on an area where you most likely get hit? Or does your friend have arms behind their backs?

There was like a month where me and a group of friends used to carry red sharpies on us at all times.

They don't, and also a lot lacked common sense. It's not common already by this point
@@Bubble23428 how much gun fu have you attempted in force-on-force against an attacker with a knife? Try it. Your opinion may change.
Indeed. FMA is really effective. I learned the basics of it in Manila when I was in the University.. my instructor told me if my opponent is holding a knife, I get out of there as fast as I can.
The techniques, and movements are there to give us higher chance (not a guarantee, just higher chance) of surviving if we don't have any other choice, and that if we have the opportunity during the altercation - to attack the opponent. We were never taught to be out there and engage with people, because that's instant ticket to afterlife no matter how "trained" we think we are. So if you have the chance, usually the window is early on in the encounter - you disengage and run.
Yep no defense. I fought 3 dudes. By luck I was winning till the knife came out. I got stabbed 3x from behind, 1slice on my shoulder and super stab on my chest slicing my artery. Spent little over a month in coma, multiple surgries and years to rehabilitate. I'm about 80% but will never be the same. Thank you God above that I'm still here. Without him I'd be a goner.
Everyone who thinks they can disarm multiple attackers should read this
This is how it turns out 99% of the time

It's like after a hurricane where people are killed.
Then you see some person on TV talking about how they couldn't find their dogs but had prayed to God to keep them safe, and he did.
I always think what an asshole thing to say or believe.
I'm sure those people who died were praying to their magic father as well. Apparently though, he decided not to save them, but was nice enough to spare their dog.
Not to mention their God did nothing to prevent it from happening in the first place...
Ah well though, what ever helps them sleep at night felling special.
In Shotokan, we were taught to RUN AWAY if possible, even if you were winning the fight prior to the knife being introduced. If there is nowhere to run, and you must engage, you must immediately elevate the focus of your attack to lethal or near lethal strikes only. Your goal is no longer just to knock your opponent out, or to wound him so he won't continue fighting. Your very NEXT strike has to be a death strike, unfortunately. Lastly, don't attempt a Wing Chun "trap" move, because if that doesn't work with a knife in reality. You will be dead in a few seconds.
There's no such thing as a "lethal strike" unless you're armed
@@iceman5117 A clean strike to the throat can be fatal. A downward elbow strike to the head or the back of the neck can also cause death or severe brain damage. In fact, any strike to the neck is considered lethal force. A strike to the temple can be deadly with enough force.
Fish hooking and kicking the groin are not necessarily lethal, but they can be incapacitating enough to allow a chance to escape.
In infantry school we were taught to point and shoot.
Only when you are out numbered by a more heavily armed opponent do you turn and tactically retreat.
Of course, infantry tactics are made for real life. That's probably why modern militaries train in them rather than stuff that worked before the musket. Pretty much as long as everyone has been alive.
If you are training without firearms or explosives, you are not a martial artist. You're just an athlete. Frfr.
@@jackietate5222that last comment was so poor lol unarmed is still a form of combat since we lived in caves. Marines and special forces having H2H training isn't just for cardio either
@@iceman5117 I've seen how a punch to the face knocked someone down, and as he landed on their back, the back of his head hit the asphalt, it was lethal, guy died in a few minutes..
So nice of the other guy to collaborate and play along and move exactly the way he wanted him to move. 😂
It doesn't have to go down that way, but it could.
His slashes were valid slashes. If someone tries to cut you horizontally that's what it would look like.
School of Steven Seagal.
youtube comments on self defense back then: "why arent schools teaching this?"
now: "yeah that's unrealistic"
you guys are like fucking drones.
everything the guy said in the video, was valid. obviously, if there is a chance to escape, you escape.
but if ever you're in a bad neighborhood and get jumped by a group, it's better to have a 5% chance of surviving than 0%.
and in case it wasn't obvious enough, you're not supposed to copy the motion, you're supposed to learn the reasoning behind it, and train the physique and reaction time to do so.
@@42ndMoose Or, you know, carry a pistol. But that's too easy I guess. Gotta learn some Steven Segal voodoo-magic moves instead, yeah?
@@ganymede3141 ''Or, you know, carry a pistol.'' Mate, the US is not the entire world. It's quite hard to buy a handgun in other countries.
I did this for years. I taught classes , went to seminars from other teachers. Then one day a nutjob pulled a box cutter. My experience was, you are going to get cut. It’s very very different than what you think. The body is very aware that it’s in danger. Disarms and fancy stuff isn’t normally going to work. Exit if possible.
just seems like you'd want to gain wrist control of the armed hand if anything
I encountered a knife attack when i was in my teenage years. No matter how alert and fast you are, you will still get cut. Only fast option i had in mind is to have my right arm get the cut and punch the guy with my left arm. It actually worked but my right forearm got seriously injured that time.
It is not easy to defend using your hand while he has all the ways to attack. Better run if you can or use something in your hand and defend in one strike to get him down.
Low leg push kicks will work to create distance and exit as quickly as possible.
If there is no escape, don't wait to try and dodge the knife. Take the offense into his throat or down kick to break the knee
Here is the conundrum. Any practiced defence against a knife has poor chances of working... but if you do get cornered by a knife weilder and can't run then you need to have a few drilled ideas rather than none. I once disarmed a knife weilder by doing something sudden and unexpected.. but I was extremely lucky that it worked.
I concur, the one time I had to it was about 10 percent skill 10 percent holy shit this is happening and 80 per cent horseshit luck .

The bottom line is you practice this drill for the situations where you are stuck in a close encounter with a knife. I've seen a fair share of knife fights where the person with the knife loses. The defenders focused mainly on kicking and finding objects to throw or swing. For example if you have a chair, you will have a decent advantage with range.
Finally someone saying it like it really is.
I'm getting rather annoyed at all these people who insist that knife defence is impossible and serious cuts are a certainty.
I train with people who I cannot land anything on which means if I tried to attack them with a knife they would escape unharmed every single time.
Agreed. Full force teep kick and run the fuck away is my go-to 😂
Something with range, yeah. Can be a cane, or a chair, or a gun.
Where does bro live where he sees his fair share of knife fights?😂😂
The knife wilder loses only when its his/her first time using it. A real knife attack is based in 1 hand grabs and the other stab or slice, this demo is just a wing chun game.
I had a martial arts teacher who is also working as a security guard in a company. According to him you must never grab the wrist cause it would still give them them chance to cut you no matter how shallow it is. And told us to always grabbed the back of the elbow. That way unless he has a knife literally as big as his forearm he wouldnt be able to reach you. Only if he changes hands. And by that point one has enough time to either see that coming or can attack themselves.
I've always thought grabbing the wrist is dangerous because jerking the arm back is one of the more powerful movements a human can make so instead of having your hands around their wrist you now have them around their blade.
I'm not sure how you get past the knife to the elbow in your scenario Deniz. Do you need to get behind or beside the attacker to do this?
@@TheTruthKiwi you must get behind the arm that holds the knife. Elbow cant bend backwards so that gives you time do something
This is not something I received a ton of training in but my teacher was Filipino and knew this stuff the guy is doing and showed me a few things. He did show me that at one point, going to the upper arm by the crook of the elbow, for the reason you said. Think about it...attacker can't do much with the lower arm if you're controlling the upper. And if you have a choice between the two sections, grab the one that doesn't have the blade, yes? If you can jam that shit up long enough to deliver a strong counter, it could save your life. I know someone who was mugged while drunk. As the mugger grabbed his stuff, he decided to try to grab his money/things back. Mugger pulled a knife and guy grabbed the blade instead. Hand sliced wide open while very impaired, wandered the streets bleeding, a passerby saw him and called 911. If not for him, ya know. I saw a photo of his bloody jacket and it appeared he wasn't sober enough to help himself.
Grabbing the wrist is dangerous because if he's using the knife right he WILL cut you first and it will be extra nasty because the momentum of your hand will push it against the blade. Exact details will vary depending on the type of knife but that's basically what you're looking at.
@@Sluppie yeah. a cut doesnt have to be deep or fatal to be painful.
Here the real defence against a knife :
Throw something on the guy's face, and RUN
Precision if you have nothing to throw: RUN
And if there's nowhere to run : YEET INTO THE BATTLEFIELD
Imagine running from someone who's 2 feet in front of you. Good luck.
That's how you get stabbed in the back.
@@fabiodlx imagine trying to disarm a knife attacker and getting stab. It's the same thing 😂.

I had a similar taught as s younger age
I've read a few of the comments and I agree with what I've read 100% and their advice is very very realistic and comes from experience. And I've had martial arts training and in even then it basically comes down to you always , accept the reality that you are going to get cut and bare handed defense against the knife is the last resort. The only difference in this video is we were trained if at all possible grab the wrist or arm of the attacker and hold on and then go lethal because they're rarely is there ever age second Chance in a knife fight.

If you can't run away maybe trained proper offence is the most viable way to survive.

@@allangrant6349 right training, not this one.
the worst mistake against a short weapon is getting into short-range close-combat. this old-man is virtually commiting suicide by putting himself in the best range for the knife.
he has obviously not been trained in actual martial arts.
Defense “is the other guys problem." This is a fundamental Filipino mindset. Ask any Filipino about fighting in a life or death situation and they'll tell you "Una-unahan lang yan." Which means, it's just a matter of who kills who first accepting only two outcomes - either you die or you go to prison. And then "pagalingan nalang ng abogado yan" which means, worry later by getting the best lawyer. Basically, knife fights in the Philippines are fought that way that's why it's often quick. Best example are knife fights by hardened killers in Bilibid prison. Two fighters would duel using a rope to tie one of their hands on opposite end of the rope. With no way to escape or run, the only option left is find out who kills who first.
Had the pleasure of receiving instruction from Master Apolo in Jacksonville while certifying for Krav Maga Instructorship. He is so nice, patient, capable and deadly. Hope all is well sir.
He says, “the more we practice this” is his best advice IMO. After 30 years it’s repetition and building skill sets. Reality is you’re going to get hurt, just need to hurt the attacker more.

It looks great and seems logical and, if you are a master with years of training, it might even be possible, with a small knife and an incompetent attacker but do not try this in real life or you will end up badly cut, or dead.
This, your probability of winning a knife fight is so effing low against even an untrained numbskull you may as well pick up your back to back PowerBall winnings.
But knowing and practicing at least this much when you've got only seconds to react, might make a change.
When you cannot run
When you cannot grab a weapon
When you can't reason
@@thehumanpractice2985 That's true but the same might be said of any instinctive reaction. In the circumstance you specify, there are only two options, fight or submit. If we also surmise that submission means wounding or death, fighting is the only valid response. That still does not justify teaching knife defence as if it really works because it does not.
I have studied martial arts for 50 years. I hold advanced black belts in three different disciplines. And if I was challenged with a knife I would submit and try to talk my way clear.
One of the biggest problems with the westernization and spread of martial arts is that it coincided with movies and TV and it has led people to believe they can almost be supermen, if they train hard enough. Such belief is delusional.
@@Outspoken.Humanist "When you can't reason" Too. When you can't talk your way out of it.
So as an advanced martial artist, I assume you would fight before just submitting to death.
And there are actually 3 responses: Its Fight, Flight, or Freeze.
And in the other hand, some people might react just out of anxiety.
instinct is nullified by anxiety. Anxiety fuels fear, Instinct is usually way more accurate than fear. Having watched a couple of these videos might help to nurture visual information on how to actually move. Training them might help overcome that anxiety and actually let the instinct react.
An educated body he's with that.
Sto saying it's bs because it is not. Maybe you've got too much weight on those years thinking you know it all just because you've got 3 belts. Good for you, really, but no one cares. It doesn't matter if you have got 50 years of experience or if you are a teen who barely knows how to do a squat. The only thing that matters is: Did you survive?
I've survived 8 assaults, 3 of them armed and out o those I fought in 2. A couple cuts, nothing critical.
Do I recommend doing that? No, I was stupid, reacting more than acting, but to a certain degree I did have no choice.
Does someone care? Probably not, as much as people don't really care about your experience.
Spitting it out straight, showing advantages and disadvantages, telling the nice part and the ugly part, that's how it should be. And yeah vids could educate, in general, in a more comprehensive way, regarding that,
have a beautiful day
@@thehumanpractice2985 I'm sorry to learn your story and I'm glad you survived. I mentioned my experience only to make the point that despite all of it I still would not go against a knife unless I genuinely had no other choice. Of course I would not choose death but I would definitely give up my wallet. In reality how many of us are confronted with a knife attacker who only wants to kill?
What you say about anxiety and instinct is true but I maintain that watching a few videos will not teach you how to move and thinking you can take on a man with a knife is likely to get you killed.
If your attacker wants you dead rather than to rob you and if you truly have no other option then obviously you fight, whether you have any training or not but videos will not help you and even training is not a guarantee.
You take care and I hope you never have to experience such violence again.
As a Navy intel veteran who received intensive close combat training, knife defense drills are done to trigger muscle memory. Of course science is factored into most of the drills, but your fight tactic and goals should always adjust to the situation(location of the fight, thin thickness of your and the opponents clothes, length of blade, arm reach blahblah..)

He's very correct. I've been a FMA student my whole life. Most people focus on strictly getting control of the knife right out of the gate and that's it. IE BJJ guys lol. Most people that attack you aren't going to expect to get hit in the face right away as their blade gets deflected. Yes timing and repetition of practice is key. So many people mock drills but don't understand why they are done. It's to train a reflex into you. But KISS always.
People mistake these drills as "ineffective repetitions that must be as realistic as possible".
The role of a decent combat martial arts instructor is to show how to apply these drills in a realistic fight without the practitioner panicking like 90% of the time thinking on what exact technique to use just to put the practitioner in a better and safer position
As a bjj guy... Any bjj guy with their head on straight knows the value of grappling/wrestling in self defense is to get your ass OFF the ground and break contact. Fights are chaotic, falls happen, you don't want to be stuck under an assailant. When it comes to knife defense, yeah no martial art is going to help much except maybe improving your chance of escape by not getting grabbed etc.
@@EricPerreaultIdk aren't some leg kicks having higher range than knife? But it might be bullshido and just one-off chance.
@@Fera-gr5mmTechnically, legs have greater range than arms, which is great for show fights, but in a real fight, boxing is more useful. Legs don't have much more range than arms. And a knife extends the range of an arm.
I can't speak for the instructor in this video because I dont know him, but years ago I took self defense classes similar to this. I think my instructor was more responsible in warning the danger and the probable damage you would suffer getting into a knife fight, HOWEVER I think many people in the comments are taking this in a very wrong and ignorant way. If you get into a knife fight, first it's better to have some training rather than nothing. Second, a lot of the techniques shown already count with you getting hurt to some extent; but cuts can be healed. Its one thing for you to be cut on your forearm or your hand than in stomach or neck. Obviously it's best to run, but sometimes that option just isn't there, and you stand a better chance of protecting yourself if you have at least some techniques that van allow you to survive a knife fight, even if you dont come out unscathed.
There's a video somewhere in YT about two guys testing knife disarms.
They wear white and hold Sharpies as knives.
They end up all covered in black.
First instinct should be to run, if feasible. If it’s not an option, you’re getting cut and/or stabbed even if you manage to disarm.
Should've used a Red sharpie
@@ericanderson7346 kick in balls and he aint doin shit..he wont be expecting it
You should watch the TimKennedy knife defense. His opponent did not back down, they were on the ground, switching knife hand, etc. That was pretty impressive. You almost got no chance not to get stabbed.
But this teacher got it right though. If you are not attacking, you are getting cut for sure.
@@hori83 kick in the balls is only chance if have a shot
I used to spar against a rubber knife attack, which is the safest way to build skill & confidence. I found that kicking is preferable to getting up close & involved with the hands
I also think that, but even if has higher range and higher chances of hitting an unaware enemy, it has it's downsides. Your legs are needed to stand up, and losing balance due to leg cuts, yeah, that's risky. Either poke from as far as you can or use a grapple while holding the enemy's hand (the one with the knife).
@@Player-df7ny in self defense situations, you aim your kicks low, not high. So not much chance of getting cut. You kick at the shins, groin, knees, and ankles. Vast majority of people cannot take a strong kick or stomp at their lower regions - they will naturally move out the way. So it will either create space, which can allow you to escape, or the kick will land and damage the attacker, also giving you some room to escape.
@@Player-df7ny No, no, no. You put a retractable knife in your boot. They try to stab you then bam! They get foot stabbed before they know it, the leg has a higher reach then the arms. This man is a genius!
@@blackwater7183 daaamn that's genius. How do you think i could do that
Someone who is trained and done thousands and thousands of low leg kicks has excellent balance and will not lose balance doing low leg kicks on a non-trained individual...@@Player-df7ny

Only empty handed defence against knife attacks is the ancient art of run fu
I would get killed 10 times just trying to remember the steps
That's why you train
Because it's bullshit. You cannot predict all of your attackers attacks. Many of these types of videos are just based on predicting what the attacker will do next not being 100% accurate. It is very difficult to be defense mode. You will likely get cut regardless of taking your attacker down.
@@Yakanhikoerotikkushiti The guy in the video acknowledges you'll likely be cut, but you can still move to minimize damage and give yourself the best chance possible.

@@joys8634 i'd he afraid to be less grounded and/or lose my footing. Also, RIP short people 😂
i was young back then when i trained my self this discipline it was fun and amazing, but later on I found it so hard to use in real knife fight (good thing im still alive) it is very very different. your opponents mind in anger is locked on your flesh to kill u no matter what, his eye will not close because of that anger and adrenaline. The only best thing u can do is run, if not get a Dust, small rocks, soil or sand and splash to your opponents eye, or get any small foreign body that u can throw to the eye. I found it if u hit only one eye, the other eye also is affected even not hit, there both eye closes and makes hard to see,. They use their hands to scratch their eyes or cover the eyes. Do not fight knife bare handed, don't waste your life.
Lol so they don't close their eyes is the weakness? 🤣 So pepper spray it is!
@@blackwater7183 yes eyes is everyones weakness, anger and adrenaline will not make eyes blink specially if hes on drugs. so yes pepper spray will be good defense if u carry one.
@@ogrish15 I think this is a logical advice. 👍
thank you master !
I believe Jackie Chan was asked this question by an interviewer and said:
"First, take off your jacket,
Then throw it at the attacker and run."
You will get cut. Odds are every 3rd pass of the knife there is some kind of cut. Train often and correctly.
I just went straight to block the blade with a disposable bone. The finger. Seemed natural to me. Finger or heart?

The best 'martial art' is awareness so that you can stay away.

The third best 'martial art' is cardio so that you can quickly run away.

How to do Knife Defence effectively:
Step 1: Get a gun.
You think you have time to draw a gun against someone who knows how to use a knife? By the time you realize that a knife is in play, it will be too late. Do you imagine your killer brandishing their weapon so you would have time to draw? Watch this, it might save your life: ruclips.net/video/xwCl9bfz-8Y/видео.html
Only if you are very far away .. otherwise you are dead
Step 2: If you don't have gun. Run.
@@matalinotv3078 You think the guy who has a knife will have time to close the distance before getting shot in the chest cavity? You think Gun defense is less efficient than knife defense, when gun defense is designed to end a fight after the first shot, as opposed to a knife fight where death from a thousand cuts is a real possibility?
Also your video is a joke, Police officers are not trained for gun defense. You need to research MMA specifically Military Martial Arts, like Systema, Krav Maga, Ler Drit. You know the training most Police officers rarely if ever get let alone how to implement it with Gun Defense.

How to do knife defense:
Step 1: Run
And if you can't run...?
@@TheMrCHELL give their want
Speaking from experience: You don't always see the knife before it gets you. Sometimes there is a request and upon negative response, you feel a sharp pinch in your lower back. You think you've been punched, so you turn around quickly and at that point, you feel a warm rushing sensation on your torso as you realize what just happened. It is only then do you see the blade in your attacker's hand.
no, it does work really. u userly has the same speed as the knife guy. so fight instead
@@fendysusanto876 bro what if that guy's intention is to get you killed
The key to defending against a knife attack is to recognize the knife (if you actually intend to use a knife on someone you don't want them seeing the knife until it's too late) and control the knife hand. Of course the first knife defense is always to give them your wallet and run away as fast as you can.
As for controlling the knife hand, it is better than punched and kneed by your opponent than stabbed by him. Two on one and keep the knife pointing away from your body at all costs.
Gracias
Do it live long sleeve white shirts giant magic markers. Live drills involve somebody really trying to stab you with the marker and they will leave a mark and you will know what's working. We've been doing this for 40 years why isn't there videos. This guy's top notch he should already know this
That's old school , very effective !
Amazon sells cut resistant sleeves and gloves. Inexpensive. I have steel and plastic trainers. Foam trainers. And/or live blades....so many ways to train intelligently.
I hear you saying "I know a good drill that I feel is relevant to this training; the instructor failed to discuss that drill during this video; therefore, the instructor fails in his responsibility as a teacher because that drill is unrepresented in this video." Is that correct?
If that is the case, then I agree that marking training is relevant to this topic, and I also agree that the topic was absent from this video.
However, regardless of whether or not this particular instructor is familiar with that specific training component, what I heard from the video was: "Our style focuses on Offensive and Counter-offensive actions in lieu of traditional defensive perspectives; our argument is that any time spent solely on defense is a net-loss game because the opponent's knife has a hard advantage against bare flesh." As a pure thesis statement, summed up in a 2-minute video, I think that's great!
I can imagine a follow-up video covering ways to demonstrate and practice that skill, and one way of measuring the effectiveness of that strategy would be to use white shirts and red chalk/paint/markers, then to practice Offense/Defense and measure cuts, then to practice Offense/Counter-Offense and measure cuts - we should all be applying the scientific method and empirical evidence in our training.
If that's what you are suggesting, then yes, I agree that the extension of these practices would make for a valuable lesson, and I would love to see someone make that video 😊
Mr.Ladra(guy in the video) does teach live drills. What he showed was a demonstration and he should have stated as much but he knows that would never work on the street. It's a "drill"! Not a drill I would train but a drill never the less.
I love the title of the video though.
...I must add, your students are not likely to
want to show 'you' what a fool you are in front
of the rest of the class, you need someone
that is willing to do this with a marker tapped
to the end of a short stick with abandon, really
slice and thrust like they mean it.
Of course as always in knife tutorials like this one,
the knife is shown and the attacks are slow motion.
You will get hurt when defending a knife attack. The real opponent will never do the techniques you've trained. Use another weapon like a stick to keep distance. A kitchen chair or something like that can be very useful.
Or maybe we should bring C4 in our bag...just saying.
Or.....in the time of COVID like this, you just need to sneeze....the attackers will be terrified....
I have tried your advise but after a week I was tired of carrying a kitchen chair with me.
Yeah, but it's always the same question, that pops up at this point: what if you don't have a chair or something like that? Taking your shirt off and wrapping it around your forearm, using it as a kind of a shield? Next question: do you have enough time to do that? Probably not. So, what would you do? Same old, same old.
@@Wojtek404
We are in the middle of a pandemic, right? So, you just need to Sneeze, Cough, have some "Acid Spit" like Reptile in MK, even touching the Knife of the Attacker will be enough to kill them.
After all, no Knife can kill a Virus like Corona.
Sure... I'll just unbolt my car seat and throw it at the attacker.
Once a sergeant from the army told me, the best defense against a knife is to run away, assuming we dont have guns.
I was taught knife defense by an army vet once. Lesson 1 was if you can get out, get out. Fuck fighting. BUT, if you’re backed into a corner and have to fight, do what you can to guard and disarm. I asked “but won’t you still get hit?”, hoping there was some way to escape unharmed. Deadpan, he replied: “Yep. But you can tourniquet your arms”.
And then, in that moment when you thought your arms were going to reduce the damage, the knife goes through and you get one to your ribcage. There's no defense of anything, you're going to die unless you run away
I used to do that drill.What happens if someone just goes full speed sewing machine with a death grip? It doesn't work so good. So may of these drills are beautiful, but I've never seen anything close to how they look when people go all out, full speed.
Totally correct. Amok is the best knife defense system I've seen
What an odd comment. You did this drill but then said "what happens if...?" If something else happens, there are dozens of other drills mean to address different situations.
Happen to remember the name of this drill? Or the 5 that classically precede it?
its not designed for that anyways, sensitivity drills are just to key in muscle memory
I see the comments saying you will get cut. The instructor clearly says that you will get cut in the process and he teaches how to not get cut in vital areas while you are defending.
It's a drill but would it be practical? No. Maybe with a shirt off to tie the hands up but no 90% your going to get stabbed.
@@ivanriverajr5012 Honesty I don't know. There is military knife training that can be taught and it can help you a lot in these kind of situations. You are never safe though even this moment we are not guaranteed we will live to see another day.
@@ivanriverajr5012 doing multiplication drills won’t help you pass a math test will they? They are necessary as are martial arts drills.
These are great techniques when you’re fighting an opponent who goes along with the choreography.
How much i love the fluency of the technique and the skill level of the instructor (and student) , this only works in dojos with agreed "attack" patterns. I have been twice in a knife situation on the streets. My martial arts training helped me to stay calm and keep the threat in check. However, you do not stay within reach when someone is pointing a knife at you and you do not move your arm close to the hand holding the knife with the intention to block or guide it. That would be your last option.
Can properly low leg kicks keep a "non stealth" knife attacker at distance? They shouldn't be able to touch you with a knife if you can see them and your keeping them off with low leg kicks.
@@dennisrobinson8008no mobility=can't close the distance

I think this is incredibly informative enough. Despite the other people bashin on it. I'm not saying watching it will help me survive unscathed. But it did certainly made me aware. Maybe my survival rate went from 0 to 10%. It's still something.
The instructor did mention about getting cut in the process
Don't ever try to resist and just run for your life whenever there is an open chance if you wanna live. It is good to play hero in video not in reality.
as many people have said.. running typically isnt an option.. more often than not, you are surrounded, or your backed into an alley or something with your escape path blocked off.. and even in a 1 on 1, the person isnt going to show you they have a knife until they are actively trying to stab you.. if they flash the knife before, they are just doing it as a scare tactic to force cooperation
Run, even if you leave your loved ones behind as victims....!?
If your "knife defense" involves anything but run for your life or get yourself weapon superiority - you are done
His movement is so fluid
My TKD instructor got 6 assailants knocked out but still got cut open. He was a champion and Asian Games medallist. He always tells us to run when you get the chance. Life is more important. (they took away his kidneys after passing out)
Never ask for a fight
Yes indeed
Cool story bro
yeah as much as possible do run this is a just in case scenario
And if you're able to gun, run that gun, as well!😉
Now it's my turn...... Absolutely terrifying statement of intent.....Love it 🔥🔥💯
There is such a thing as knife defense, its either run, get a gun, or get something longer n bigger that you can efficiently wield within time.
My instructor always said "If you're afraid to get cut, you will get stabbed."
That advice probably saved my life.
My brother fought against someone with a Knife but he was lucky since the guy was unable to pull out the knife quickly and was not skilled with it.
When he saw the guy was about to pull something out of his pocket, he rushed the guy then punched him with the intention of knocking him out. his opponent got pressured a bit during the scuffle but eventually was able to draw his weapon
When my brother saw that he ran but got chased so he resorted on creating distance between him and his attacker while anytime the guy lunges, he threw a jab knocking the guy back.
On the process he still got cut in the face and good thing other bystanders helped to stop the fight but it was very close for him.
Then I also happened to see another incident on the streets where two teenagers started fighting but the other one also happens to carry a knife.
The other kid had good instincts, he ran away then when he saw a rain gutter lying on the streets, he grabbed it then used it as a make shift weapon.
He employed the same tactic of creating distance between him and his attacker, then same thing anytime the guy tries to get close. He whacks him with the intention of knocking or killing him never allowing the knife attacker gets close.
To me thats a better strategy than this close quarter drills they show that looks like Hollywood choreograph fight moves.
Of course this maybe just one part of many countless drills that may help you defend against a knife attacker and im not totally close minded.
But these moves cant be easily performed by someone who never trained in martial arts.
If you do decide to use this make sure these moves are second nature since in a fight you have less time to react
That's the point of his drills.
Most of the time the knife comes out before you can create space.
If you trained to block with the back of you arm then your natural instinct will be to block with the back of your arm without thinking and to attack at the same time which is really the only way to defend against a knife.
Getting attacked by a knife is kind of like getting bit by a dog. You're usually bleeding before you know you're being attacked. Most dogs bite by surprise and I think most knife attackers do the same thing. I've been bit a couple of times, but not stabbed yet.
This (your comment)
is a lot closer to reality than becoming a
kungfu master overnight, or within months or years,
for the average person that faces an attack.
I believe the teacher here could survive an encounter
with a knife attacker with a tiny bit of luck, but then
again, a knife attacker doesn't thrust his knife in
slow motion.
I've been stabbed before and you're right. I thought the man punched me in the back, only when he took his third stab did I realise I was being attacked with a knife
I agree. If someone dials you in for a knife attack the first stab is not going to be seen or felt until the third one hits home.
@@mangalisomdingi9733 dang, Bro. I should have read your comment first before I said anything.

Practical techniques. Thank you .
If you live in an area where knife attacks are so prevalent that you actually benefit from practicing close combat techniques like this, chances are you're better off finding alternative solutions. Following the advice from this video is going to get you killed with a very high chance.
1) Always scan your environment.
2) Avoid dead ends, especially in unknown environments.
3) Do your business and daily activities online so you can stay at home as much as possible.
4) Try not to travel alone.
5) Travel in your car when you can. Stay inside your car as much as possible.
6) When you're outside, try to stay on the move and be quick.
7) Take irrational/illogical routes (like circling the same block several times) before you enter potentially dangerous territory. This causes people who are following you to behave suspiciously.
8) Don't hesitate to quickly turn back around if an area makes you nervous for any reason.
9) Wear body armor (a light chain mail works, too).
10) Carry a gun.
11) Carry a pepper spray.
etc. etc.
These tips (and many more) are far more likely to save your life than the advice from this video.
Change your whole mindset. You have the best odds of survival if you refuse to play unfavorable games. Get your enemies to play your game.
Those are just the lies you tell yourself.
Scary stuff.
Very scary.
The best defense when you're unarmed against a knife is run and look for a found weapon like a stick or bottle or anything you can strike from distance with

This is the best technique Ive ever seen when it comes to disarming a knife. But there are slight weaknesses. A knife is a weapon, people who want to fight someone with a knife, someone who has a knife likely wins a fight.

@@jimmartin7881 Any combat training is drilling. Training is simulation, the closes thing to "life" ("live") you can get without being in combat. That's like saying target practice isn't "life," that's why they call it "practice."
Learning to defend against a knife is absolutely crucial. People always say "run", and they're right. But running isn't always an option. TBH, I wouldn't engage a knife attacker empty handed if I had to fight one. I would at least throw objects, or use my belt as a weapon and hit with the buckle (which is pretty big and sharp).
This works great, as long as the guy with the knife is cooperating with you.
Good point. Defence is really offence. And defensive mindset will get one hurt or killed. We defend ourselves by being offensive.
No, the best defense is run. That will keep u alive. The worst defense is an Offense. That will get you killed. You got it backwards.
@@Joshuatree7746 you think if I pulled a knife on you that I'm going to let you run? Thats a great idea though, give me your back, thats a nice wide target. The time it takes you to turn around and start to run im already on you, AND i have your back.. Running isn't always an option.
It is illegal to be offensive first. At least here in the USA, the assailant is whoever attacked first.
I have no idea why the instructor is saying to be offensive when he is demonstrating counter attacks from the beginning of this choreographed sequence. Intercepting attacks and simultaneous attack/defense towards a criminal assailant are counter attacks in nature. If you walk towards someone and punch them in the face, you are a criminal assailant who was offensive.
@@aardvarkhendricks6555 - Those aren't choreographed moves. Those are are actual action and reaction to every strike. If you train long enough the movement is second nature and you won't need your eyes to do it. Both of you have only two hands, two arms a body and a head. There are only a limited ways one can attack with a knife. You can defend against yourself from it, but be prepared to get cut.
@@inisipisTV sure it is. They both followed attack and defense sequences they have learned in a stationary position. Notice the instructor only made 2 or 3 attacks in a rhythm. Same thing for the other guy he only did the same 2-3 defenses over and over. That's not what an assualt on a person looks like. It's better to move out of the way then stay stationary.
I once parried a knife attack but instead of doing this Patty Cake Drill which is Ridiculous, I shoved my finger way into his eye!!! He became a Soprano Singer Instantly! You got to get Dirty in situations like these, expert or not!!!

You should do a y t vids.... How to turn your attacker into a soprano screamer , high stress self-defense where it counts...

It is a means to re-direct the blade from their intended target: your vitals
I have a friend, he was a Martial art champion. He once ran from machete fight. He tried to deflect the machete with his thick rubber sandals (he took them off, held them in both hands), unfortunately it cut through the sandals clean. That's when he knew that he'll die if he stayed.
What i understood about this video is, if you are in an unavoidable knife figth, finish the figth before you get cut. Which i think is a pretty straigth forward concept
As someone who has learned the knife wielding aspects of Kali alone, this is the best open handed defenses that I've seen due to the fact that he is using two hands to try to prevent a fish tail from the man holding the blade. However it needs to be noted that the man with the blade can still fish tail enough to prevent himself from being stabed but not enough to cut with two hand resistance. What this means in reality is that the fight would end up in a stale mate and all of the fancy moves by the originally bare handed guy wouldn't happen. As someone who has learned the offensive use of Kali knife fighting I'll bet that I'll find some way to cut the defender up! Best advice is is to carry weapons for your own defense yourself weather it be knives, sticks, firearms, or all three. Don't try to beat the guy with the weapon, BE THE GUY WITH THE WEAPON!!!

Idk if teachers do this but I think it would be a good idea to take each student one at a time say after a session and ask for them to wait for you while you get something and then just randomly attack them as you're walking up to them in mid sentence or sneak up and attack them
I would do that if I was the instructor only to those who are serious
Maybe it's better if the students email the teacher to meet them in a dark alley and the student instead waits inside the house, under the bed and when the teacher gets out of the bed, the student springs on the teacher wearing all black.
@@broluxgigantos89 also yelling SNEAK ATTAAAAAAAAAAACK
They actually do it, some instructors will just randomly try to stab and see if the students are vigilant.
If you are forced into a knife fight and you have no way to retreat out of it or you have no other weapon, like a gun, to take the aggressor out of the fight early at range, you pretty much need to come to grips with the fact that You're gonna get cut. It's going to happen. The only thing you can really control is that your arms stay in front of you and deny more critical or life threatening targets like your torso to the enemy.
