The toughest and most capable man I’ve ever known, someone who has been in many fight situations always stated that his number one piece of advice on fighting was to have a good ‘run game’. As capable as he was, he wasn’t stupid. Baseball bat, knife or multiple attackers, run.
@steve, your comment is noted. So what did your toughest most capable man ever known to you , that has been in many fight situations say...when there are times, running is Not feasible...then what?
@@nickc8819 .place a barrier between you, throw something, kick. That dojo knife fighting works about as well as “you do A, I do B”, training did in the octagon. The guy I know lived on the streets of NYC. Used to rob drug dealers up in Washington Heights. Has been in jail in 3 different states, has had over 50 real street fights. And, he’s an extremely intelligent guy who’s father was a doctor. Grew up in a nice home, but got addicted to crack. Has subsequently been clean for 20 years. On multiple occasions he has been confronted with crazed schizophrenic men with knives, screwdrivers and shanks. When a crazed grown man wants to stab you, he’s going to rush you and keep stabbing until you have 50 holes in you. I suppose if you really have no escape, then fight like the crazed man, go in quick, or run. Standing there expecting what you “trained” for to happen, won’t happen in real life.
Seriously great video on the basic concept! Knives take fights to a whole different level, and knife training requires lots of "playing with it", particularly at slower speeds.
My dad used to have a ball of fine sand mixed with chilly powder in his bag of tricks when he worked as a bodyguard 30 years ago. Use something like that when running is no longer an option to create another opening.
Very legit. I started watching your channel ever since the Knife vs Gun videos with the two masters, Instructor Zero and Doug Marcaida. Thank you for that, brother! Keep the great content going.
You are the second video I saw on YT about a knife attack that actually makes sense. I've been thinking about a defense against a knife lately and if I could add something... 1. You have to be way, way faster than the attacker - develop the speed double his. 2. His right foot out - your right foot out - pivot to his outside: he'll have to re-adjust repeatedly and might get frustrated. 3. Grab him by the clothing by the wrist and sweep him. I used it a lot on the street because most untrained people tend to tense and get stiff in a fight which makes them very vulnerable to being thrown or swept easily ( judo ). 4. If you are not fast - just run and pray to God he isn't faster. 5. Assume every attacker has a knife on him.
@@catocall7323 It is very difficult but... An average guy's punch is about 1/5 sec / meter ( 3 feet ) A boxer's punch is about 1/10 sec / meter. Since this is not a fair play on his part... play his game and beat him at this! It's been 2 months since I started throwing knives. My thinking is to throw it from outside the danger zone which I estimate is about 4 feet for a guy with a knife. Let's say you are 7 to 10 feet away from him. A slight step back and a throw. No time for him to do anything. I throw no-spin ( very practical ), it is going amazingly good. Using Milwaukee "duct knife" ( 5.5" blade, looks like a military knife ) I got from Home Depot. Check out tutorials on YT. It's actually a great skill to have. No chance for a stabber...
Good stuff! Comes from a basic point of realistic "to do's" that are natural to our/their body mechanics of position. Run-distance, use any natural barriers for cover or eluding, and (find suitable hand held weapon from environment), and then if faced--strong motor blocking. Smart sequence to follow.
I managed to disarm someone three times who came after me with a magic marker about over 20 years ago in my 20's. Now I don't have the option of running like other people do because of a brain injury that I had when I was young that causes my body to have similar conditions to cerebral palsy, but because of it the brain rewires itself to it's conditions, so I have extremely fast hands. At that time I was taking Aikido, Filipino Pangamot, and Kyusho Jitsu from Dillman's camp. Now when the guy came after me with the marker it was way to fast to get a joint lock from Pangamot or Aikido, so I used Kyusho Jitsu where I timed his movement just right where when ever he came after me I backed knuckled a pressure point on the back of his hand which caused him to immediately drop the marker. I managed to do this three times to him. That's why I recommend that every martial artist learn Kyusho Jitsu or pressure fighting. Now you don't have to change your martial arts or style to learn Kyusho or Tuite Jitsu. All it is is a targeting system and you can bring it into any martial arts you want. You could even bring it into wrestling or western boxing if you wanted too.
As a forces veteran and martial arts enthusiast. Provided the run or obstacle option is not there then position your feet apart. This gives stability. Present the smallest target. Bring arms up in a boxers stance. Lower head down. Then make full eye contact. Once established ask a question . Before they answer hit out with fist as hard as possible. Provided contact made and injury incurred poke both fingers into eyes whilst grabbing the knife carrying arm. Blinded the assailant will panic and be more easily disarmed.
Oh shit! A self defense guru who actually shows how REAL attacks happen in the modern age. What will they think of next?😂 In all seriousness, thank you for this.
Best defence besides running is learn to use an Escrima stick. Basic strikes, full commitment and a killer mindset will make it difficult, for the average knife attacker to believe he has the upper hand. Ive been teaching myself for about 3 months now. (purely from watching free content on a good Kali channel) Ive built a tyre dummy and Im able to go all out on it developing speed and power into combinations. I use wing chun concepts like the straight blast to overwhelm and overpower and my confidence has gone through the roof. Should the unthinkable happen one day . . . i have to say i feel a lot better knowing I have and can use, a "force multiplier"
Great video!!! The only concern is the running. Things I have learned is yes that is a good idea but in a certain way, what if they chase you kinda thing. Do you go over how to run away on your webpage or another video?
I’ve thought the same under for example gang attacks. Running can be good but it depends on a lot of things. I’m not in great shape, if I thought they wouldn’t chase would be a good option. Or running to a better defensive position (up a hill, towards obstacles or etc.) BUT…if you think they will chase, and if they are younger, you can end up winded from running and Adrenalin and then you are still in the same situation but now you are tired, worn out and still face the same attack. Also as I think you are pointing out, someone faster and with a knife may now be right up on you and from behind so you are in the worst situation. I did aikido for a few years, and the best I got out of it was that positioning, getting to the side and somewhat behind an attacker, as well as moving (if more than one attacker) so they are always en each others way. But add a knife or knives and …no easy solutions.
Train and use areas which difficult to follow and/ or difficult to attack with knife. Like hills, fence, water especially training in coold water, climbing walls and balconys, jump over cars, training run up and down stairchase and so on.
For any fighting situation run "if you can." But sometimes you can't because of age, injury, or you are with family, or in an enclosed space. Even if you are an expert, there is no guarantee that anything will work. Still it is better to practice something instead of nothing but don't count on anything working. I have done 60 years of a variety of martial arts.

From a few expierences that i had one Thing is that no matter how good you are, bottom line is the Reflex and the Angeles as most Attacks are usally straight line
If possible try looking for something on the ground to pick up and place it in your hands to keep the knife attacker away from you and try running away from him/her.
With all the knife attacks we've been having in all Europe and during day time, this is helpful thank you 🙏 I wish you showed how to "block" the crazy person already going full crazy and you happen to be near the first victim and next could be you 🙃
Years ago I hosted a 'knife day' where about eight of us - all instructors in different arts - showcased and shared our super-duper knife defence strategies. The last session of the day, an instructor had brought along water soluable magic markers - the attacker attacked, each of us in turn tried our defensive moves and without exception everyone was badly 'cut' and several of us would have been dead if the attacker had been using a knife rather than a marker pen.... The lesson was obvious. Knife defence requires LOADS OF TRAINING and even more importantly LOADS AND LOADS OF LUCK !!!! As Mr Miyagi said in the Karate Kid movie - No be there !!!!!
@@richardgallagher4880 Great question - the answer is none, on the whole we were working with avoiding and controlling the knife and then disabling the attacker - BUT unless you go full contact (which is not a good thing to do as every time you get knocked unconscious you kill some braincells!!!) you would not knock anyone out. Also, HOW do you knock someone out? Some people cannot take more than a light hit but some are 'ANIMALS' - look at professional boxing to see how hard it can be to knock someone out. Thus, avoiding and controlling and disabling is, as a general rule, perhaps a better option. By the way, as I said originally, surviving a knife attack is probably more about luck than skill :(
@RobertAgarHutton That was a load of waffle.😆😆 I find it very strange all of you who actually do this never throw a knockout shot. You can spar knockout shot, you know when you've been hit good at 40%.
@@richardgallagher4880 - Sure you know when YOU have been hit good and sure when training your partner(s) will tell you the same - I was showing students a drill where you hit your partner with increasing prower, just latst Thursday - however that is completely different from a live encounter with an unknown attacker. It doesn't mean that you shouldn't try to get the knockout if the opportunity presents and you are a good enough hitter but what about the 'little old lady' or - in my case - little old man - who is attacked by a younger stronger person with a knife. It is not going to be your default option.
A weapon confronts another weapon and for these cases (apart from fleeing) it is best to wear a belt with a *good buckle* and train with this tool to use it as a weapon.
YEH - i was SHOCKED to have to get to about 20-30 years of age before i saw a police video on edged weapons before i realised HOW DANGEROUS a knife REALLY is!!! (I was already an expert at fighting and self-defense but was ignorant about several factors of how dangerous knives are). Even a 1 inch tiny knife cut in an artery (E.g. the face) which can make you bleed out really fast! A deep stab in the gut and you can end up having to use a colotomy bag for the rest of your life... {This was all in the context of why don't cops shoot ppl's legs or why do they even draw lethal force for a knife wielder.} The other reason is, the experiment about 'how fast someone can cover distance', before you can draw, aim and shoot!.... SHOCKING! A knife gives _anyone_ the power of/equivalent of 5-10 YEARS of real fighting experience/martial arts too!... 😲 Knives etc are ALWAYS WORSE THAN U IMAGINE, is what i am trying to say..... Keep away, keep away, keep away. If you are trapped, then ISOLATE THAT BLOODY ARM or try to kick kick kick, if you cannot... You just cannot risk repeated stabs... Jeeze, i would almost rather face a gun weilder than a knife weilder!!! A gun is only dangerous facing one way and won't cut you as u go to grab it, or the hand/arm holding it!!!
Best deffence is stayout of trouble dont be a hero cause heroes DIE. use your feet and run away from a fight. Never encourage violence as deffence or offence life is short.
Very good video for knife defense basics. I remember and really liked your video with Fred Mastro, particularly his 'unstoppable cut'. Like his, your guidelines are simple, basic and clear. Thanks.
Me and some friends had a rubber knife and took turns trying to defend against it. Everyone got cut tf up 100% of the time. Nobody ever won against the knife
Right said Mr. Rubio, Avoidance of a fight scene is the best advice. Then placing some barrier betwee us, - and this is the point that deserves more attention: -- The barrier can be smaller than a container to hide or walk arouin. Some environmental weapons could be obtaine: may be a rod from the container, putting off your sweater and using it either a as a flexible block or even a slapping weapon. -- Another point is holding the knife: pointed hold is longer and more agressive, but easier to block, Accordingly, carryiing some personal items, like bags or umbrella spray, or just a towell around our neck could also come handy. Best wishes , Paul, 69 retired instructor of Karate P.s. for those more experienced: The way oh holding the knife may hel us, too: --Pointed, or forward hold looks more dangerous, but is easier to block or derail, --Reverse reverse hold is more defensive, shorter but worse to detect and even worser to block!!!. Do not try to take away knife: The old adage from Meesrs. Fairbairn and Sykes!
i'd be curious after the 2:30 mark, if you ever try to train with knowledge of where your own vulnerable/biggest arties are? So you can practice blocks, parries etc with the OUTSIDE of ARMS etc, NEVER exposing the insides (where it's more likely to find bigger veins and arteries at the surface)... Ergo less risk I like that this guy talks about NOT BEING IN THE SITUATION and RUNNING, OBSTANCLES etc LONG before any 'Knife Defense'
Specific defence teqhniques, arm movements whatever, would have to been drilled thousands of times over long period of time for to be second nature, and thats just for one spesific angel of attack etc, endless possibilites, i think overall skills in a practical martial art like mma,boxing, kick boxing etc, where u at least have had some amount of sparring, so distance control and «seeing» movements will be a factor in your favour. This and try to weaponize whatever object around to. A kravmaga knife course or whatever is not gonna help much, u probably gonna forget your own name When the adrenalin rush sets in, and your body and sense of time will feel like syrup.

@@richardgallagher4880 Great question - the answer is none, on the whole we were working with avoiding and controlling the knife and then disabling the attacker - BUT unless you go full contact (which is not a good thing to do as every time you get knocked unconscious you kill some braincells!!!) you would not knock anyone out.
Also, HOW do you knock someone out? Some people cannot take more than a light hit but some are 'ANIMALS' - look at professional boxing to see how hard it can be to knock someone out. Thus, avoiding and controlling and disabling is, as a general rule, perhaps a better option.
By the way, as I said originally, surviving a knife attack is probably more about luck than skill :(
@RobertAgarHutton
That was a load of waffle.😆😆
I find it very strange all of you who actually do this never throw a knockout shot.
You can spar knockout shot, you know when you've been hit good at 40%.
@RobertAgarHutton
"How do you knockout someone out?" 😆😆
I've just proven to you it's not luck.
@@richardgallagher4880 - Sure you know when YOU have been hit good and sure when training your partner(s) will tell you the same - I was showing students a drill where you hit your partner with increasing prower, just latst Thursday - however that is completely different from a live encounter with an unknown attacker.
It doesn't mean that you shouldn't try to get the knockout if the opportunity presents and you are a good enough hitter but what about the 'little old lady' or - in my case - little old man - who is attacked by a younger stronger person with a knife. It is not going to be your default option.
Watch the Tim Kennedy and Philippino martial artists knife attack demo at the SHOT Show a couple years ago. Intense.
A weapon confronts another weapon and for these cases (apart from fleeing) it is best to wear a belt with a *good buckle* and train with this tool to use it as a weapon.

YEH - i was SHOCKED to have to get to about 20-30 years of age before i saw a police video on edged weapons before i realised HOW DANGEROUS a knife REALLY is!!!
(I was already an expert at fighting and self-defense but was ignorant about several factors of how dangerous knives are).
Even a 1 inch tiny knife cut in an artery (E.g. the face) which can make you bleed out really fast! A deep stab in the gut and you can end up having to use a colotomy bag for the rest of your life... {This was all in the context of why don't cops shoot ppl's legs or why do they even draw lethal force for a knife wielder.}
The other reason is, the experiment about 'how fast someone can cover distance', before you can draw, aim and shoot!.... SHOCKING!
A knife gives _anyone_ the power of/equivalent of 5-10 YEARS of real fighting experience/martial arts too!... 😲 Knives etc are ALWAYS WORSE THAN U IMAGINE, is what i am trying to say.....
Keep away, keep away, keep away. If you are trapped, then ISOLATE THAT BLOODY ARM or try to kick kick kick, if you cannot... You just cannot risk repeated stabs... Jeeze, i would almost rather face a gun weilder than a knife weilder!!! A gun is only dangerous facing one way and won't cut you as u go to grab it, or the hand/arm holding it!!!
Good Video
I feel better knowing I carry my friction lock steel asp with the leverage cap every time I walk
Nice skills guys
Nu alus mah, mekel pekarang masing2.. mun kapanggih anu nyieun perkara manéhna mawa bedog, urang mawa balati.. ngarios wéh, "tuker tambah, yuk?!"
Its a happy day when your son finally reaches "attacker height"
Nice Hapkido 🎉
Very nice!
This should be a mandatory course for living in London
This guy is like a Tony Robbins of self defense
very usefull tecnique
Best deffence is stayout of trouble dont be a hero cause heroes DIE. use your feet and run away from a fight. Never encourage violence as deffence or offence life is short.
Parry works and allows you a split second to avoid being stabbed and allowing a better escape.
Move to barrier pull out 45acp and ventalate
I like that this guy talks about NOT BEING IN THE SITUATION and RUNNING, OBSTANCLES etc LONG before any 'Knife Defense'
2:30 - Absolutely *ninja*!!!
Very good video for knife defense basics. I remember and really liked your video with Fred Mastro, particularly his 'unstoppable cut'. Like his, your guidelines are simple, basic and clear. Thanks.
I remember this happen to me a lunatic fring knife out screaming (come on)!! Parking lot just kept walking survived no beef stranger.
Knife attack dangerous weapon Defense against attacker
Me and some friends had a rubber knife and took turns trying to defend against it. Everyone got cut tf up 100% of the time. Nobody ever won against the knife
Your friedns must be skilled.
oi tried something similar with a friend and i could not "cut" him even once.
How to defend a long distance range sticks or knives
Right said Mr. Rubio,
Avoidance of a fight scene is the best advice.
Then placing some barrier betwee us, - and this is the point that deserves more attention:
-- The barrier can be smaller than a container to hide or walk arouin. Some environmental weapons could be obtaine: may be a rod from the container, putting off your sweater and using it either a as a flexible block or even a slapping weapon.
-- Another point is holding the knife: pointed hold is longer and more agressive, but easier to block,
Accordingly, carryiing some personal items, like bags or umbrella spray, or just a towell around our neck could also come handy.
Best wishes , Paul, 69 retired instructor of Karate
P.s. for those more experienced: The way oh holding the knife may hel us, too:
--Pointed, or forward hold looks more dangerous, but is easier to block or derail,
--Reverse reverse hold is more defensive, shorter but worse to detect and even worser to block!!!.
Do not try to take away knife: The old adage from Meesrs. Fairbairn and Sykes!
Great 👍
Nice
My favorite defence weapon is to talk😂 jeah difficult too
What happens if someone is swinging at you with a boomerang shaped bush knife?
You forgot to say always poke the eyes after a parry or slip
Is there one local in tampa
What to do if person attacks with two 2 knives?
Where you located?
It's about whom the threat is reaching and then there are only two ways troward you away from u
Who came here after Mannheim?
Where are you located
Ontario
i'd be curious after the 2:30 mark, if you ever try to train with knowledge of where your own vulnerable/biggest arties are?
So you can practice blocks, parries etc with the OUTSIDE of ARMS etc, NEVER exposing the insides (where it's more likely to find bigger veins and arteries at the surface)...
Ergo less risk
I like that this guy talks about NOT BEING IN THE SITUATION and RUNNING, OBSTANCLES etc LONG before any 'Knife Defense'
All of this is good, but the best defense against a knife is when you pull out a piece and blast em
Got to create the space to draw first which means at least some form of combatives first, like what the video is suggesting
On April 2nd, 2024. One of my friends got tabbed 7 times by some pick pocketers, I want to learn how to protect myself in real life scenerio
Specific defence teqhniques, arm movements whatever, would have to been drilled thousands of times over long period of time for to be second nature, and thats just for one spesific angel of attack etc, endless possibilites, i think overall skills in a practical martial art like mma,boxing, kick boxing etc, where u at least have had some amount of sparring, so distance control and «seeing» movements will be a factor in your favour. This and try to weaponize whatever object around to. A kravmaga knife course or whatever is not gonna help much, u probably gonna forget your own name When the adrenalin rush sets in, and your body and sense of time will feel like syrup.
Still running away from Fight Smart Trav huh.... 🚶
How come this doesn't look like FMA?
why people don't use legs in fights 😂
how about self defense with out notice from assault people.
w video
But, the expert with the rebellious eyebrow over on the D.U.S.T channel says….
You can wear sticks to protect yourself
✅️👍👏👏👏
