I have seen a lot of real life or death fights with bladed weapons vs chair. Almost every case, the person with the chair survived. Even with longer weapons like a machete, and the chair was garbage and fell apart, the person still only sustained one injury to the hand, and that happened before he grabbed the chair. Maybe I should practice chair combat, haha.
Honestly this is probably one of the better ways to prevent a stabbing (besides running) if you're around a light chair. Biggest problem with a knife attack is very few things will stop them from reaching you. You will be cut. At least the chair keeps them almost a metre away.
After all the strange and often unbalanced fights featured on this channel, like polearms vs. swords, or swords vs. unarmed, it's really quite surprising that chair vs. knife turns out to be the first one where one side dominates so completely the other can't get a single hit in during all the rounds. Also, love how the chair guy's adapting his kendo skills: that sense of distance, timing, and of course, that footwork. And charging in with the fumikomi (stomp), to really put the whole body's energy into those quick jabs with the leg,... he really did basically invent the chair martial art.
Chair is a good tool for self-defence. First, you can hit/knock back the attacker. Also, you may disarm the knifer by rotating the chair. The most essential is that chair is commonand you can easily find everywhere
Years ago there was some skinheads (4v1) beating the shit out of a dude at our local market. My dad was out front with my mom while it was happening, and he picked up a metal chair and threw it over his head at them. They had a knife even and my dad was able to grab it and throw it away. But yeah that chair was tactically important for sure, but it also helps that my dad is an athletic giant.
Excellent demonstration, love that you used a plastic chair as well, just drives the point home clearly about how effectively a chair works in self defense, not just vs a knife.
Seems legit but would the outcome be any different if the height difference was in the attacker's favour? Think this needs testing for scientific purposes 😂
Thanks for the video. The idea of jabbing the attacker with the chair legs to knock him down is good. I'm glad that it's effective. I also liked when the defender twisted the chair and was able to whip the attacker to the side.
for me it really depends on the chair. I'm not very strong, so if I had to use plastic chair, that's okay, but if I had to use for example chair from my school, which is made from metal and wood, I would rather use my bare hands, because it would lower my mobility and reaction speed. Not to mention it would be likely in school and in that case it would be better to use backpack and use space by going around desk and such.
Yeah the environment would change everything, especially if it’s a small room with loads of crap on the floor or around. Also the different designs of chair would play into it a lot. Some will be lighter, some will be heavier but hit harder. Some will have more potential defence applications than others aswell
One thing I'm curious about is if the chair would be even more effective if the guy using it was on the offensive instead of defensive - if they used it to try and push in against the knife wielder instead of just trying to back up.
It can't do much damage honestly. If you have the chair it is to make distance, and get a chance to flee or something. It can clearly protect you suprisingly well. But it won't do a ton to your opponent. It can maybe break a mose but that plastic chair certainly not. I can't imagine too bad of wounds. The chair guy only needs to make one mistake before he is dead.
Man the chair I’m sitting in rn is an old Victorian chair 😂 this thing is so heavy if I could even use it for defense, I’d feel bad for whomever’s needing to be hit by it 🤣 it weighs about 42 lbs
nice work. hum how about cutting the fingers as a goal instead of main body hits? that is what I would aim for but that said chairs is not bad as a emergency defensive tool.
@@Satsaru hum seems to me he was focused on getting behind the chair and hit the vitals. but I may as well not been that focused so I missed that. kind of reminds me of a story. once there was a fight in a bar. the police interviewed a boxer a wrestler and a child. the boxer said they where boxing, the wrestler said they where wrestling the child said they did both.
@@CarnisChampion yeah, it only happened a few times the first time he grabbed the chair. Second time he definitely could have hit his hands if he wanted to.
It might work in sparring but when someone really meant to kill u with a knife… hard to say if it works..but of course havin a chair it better than bare handed when shit happens😂
If you can get ahold of a folding chair, you can also pinch the attacker! 🤣 If you have ever been pinch by a folding chair, you know what mean. 🤣🤣🤣 Great video!
Now I'm half tempted to take of these chairs and pad them with foam and use them as a larp weapon. I wonder if that was what the SCA people did for that bar fight scene they did.
Love the smile on chair guys face, like nope you can not touch me here. :) As attacker, I think the way is rush legs for double leg down, fake high go low for take down and than use knife, but I know you are not train for that and surrounding is not ideal to try this.

Chair-fu is a legit self-defense tactic. 👍
Your comment expresses exactly what we are thinking
ofcourse it is Jackie Chan is most dangerous man alive, with the chair.
The only way to defeat a lion is with a stool. True story.
Chairs are underrated as improvised weapons because you're essentially combining a multi-spiked shield with a baton, staff, or spear.
The chair is mightier than the sword.
What a nonsense :D
As a man of culture I appreciate your comment.

I love how you had a moment of self reflection at the end.
When the fight’s unfair, grab a chair!
I figured chair would win, but I didn't think it'd be such a lockout
Honestly this is probably one of the better ways to prevent a stabbing (besides running) if you're around a light chair. Biggest problem with a knife attack is very few things will stop them from reaching you. You will be cut. At least the chair keeps them almost a metre away.
Finally, someone found a good use for those plastic monstrosities of a chair.
such a good weapon! you can even sit down and relax after the fight XD

"never bring a chair to a knife fight" - person who was wrong
Thank you for the video. Sometimes you have to use what's around you. Always adapt to your surroundings.
Years ago there was some skinheads (4v1) beating the shit out of a dude at our local market. My dad was out front with my mom while it was happening, and he picked up a metal chair and threw it over his head at them. They had a knife even and my dad was able to grab it and throw it away.

We've seen enough Jackie Chan movies to know which will win
I would love to see chair against kendo!!!
Seems legit but would the outcome be any different if the height difference was in the attacker's favour? Think this needs testing for scientific purposes 😂

Skillful show of self defense. Sends a very clear message to the knife guy, telling him to back off and have a seat
Useful. But worth noting that a chair heavy enough to hurt would be harder to hold and throw about. Still, great to see it gives a bit of parity.
for me it really depends on the chair. I'm not very strong, so if I had to use plastic chair, that's okay, but if I had to use for example chair from my school, which is made from metal and wood, I would rather use my bare hands, because it would lower my mobility and reaction speed. Not to mention it would be likely in school and in that case it would be better to use backpack and use space by going around desk and such.
Looks like Jackie Chan was onto something with his arsenal of chairs, brooms, shopping carts and ladders 😂

Chairjutsu super effective!
Hmmm, where I live you cannot walk around with a solid cane or a long knife, but maybe I could bring a chair.
It'd be nice if they swapped roles. And maybe trying some offensive chair-do
I love how it looks like the guy with the chair is literally a master with the chair too 😂
I think I've seen Jackie Chan use that chair tectics
A chair is a good defensive weapon, as long as your opponent isn't using a gun.
A vest and cover is the only real self defense for a gun
Yeahhh but then again, not every country is like the US where guns are easily accessible to the general public.
@@HerrZenki they are though if you know the right people
@@anilin6353 you just proved my point
That was genuinely exciting to watch
nice work. hum how about cutting the fingers as a goal instead of main body hits? that is what I would aim for but that said chairs is not bad as a emergency defensive tool.
It looks like he tried a couple times, but thenlegs of the chair and the fact that his opponent was retreating kept his hands just out of knife range
@@Satsaru hum seems to me he was focused on getting behind the chair and hit the vitals. but I may as well not been that focused so I missed that. kind of reminds me of a story. once there was a fight in a bar. the police interviewed a boxer a wrestler and a child. the boxer said they where boxing, the wrestler said they where wrestling the child said they did both.

If you get away from a knife fight with only cuts in your fingers then you have still won
look you can easily tell: the guy with chair did not even have head protection. The guy with the knife needed alllll the protection.
It might work in sparring but when someone really meant to kill u with a knife… hard to say if it works..but of course havin a chair it better than bare handed when shit happens😂
Now this guy can *unironically* say that a chair kicked him in the face.
Good job! Its cool defensive system for a bars😊
If you can get ahold of a folding chair, you can also pinch the attacker! 🤣 If you have ever been pinch by a folding chair, you know what mean. 🤣🤣🤣
Great video!
I'm imagining Baz Rutten: Never bring a knife to a chair fight!
Hung Gar teaches to use a small bench for defense. Also the Fairburn method & similar manuals.
Aerith is a master of a deadly weapon.
The chair guy trying sooo hard not to laugh lol
All I could think was "grab that huge fan and smack him like a war hammer 🔨🤣😂"
Now I'm half tempted to take of these chairs and pad them with foam and use them as a larp weapon. I wonder if that was what the SCA people did for that bar fight scene they did.
А вы в коридоре коммуналки попробуйте.
Should get the shorter guy to use chair and taller guy to use knife for a 2nd round
Chair is good, but stairs are better
Give the asians 500 years with plastic chairs and they will turn it into a jitsu.
Hung Gar already did it with a small bench, & has been adapted to folding chairs.
Love the smile on chair guys face, like nope you can not touch me here. :)
As attacker, I think the way is rush legs for double leg down, fake high go low for take down and than use knife, but I know you are not train for that and surrounding is not ideal to try this.
