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.
It´s a shame some people still don´t get the point. As you said it, if possible, don´t be there. Everything else is when you have no choice. You can either do your best and fight back or f"#% stay still and die. I´d always go for option n.1. Great video man! Very good one.
The first option was like that statement, “if you are homeless than buy a house”. Sure no matter how much you you learn about ideal scenarios of self defence, they do not come practical in real life, it is as much predictable as the random patters of weather.

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.
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...
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.
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.
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.
Knife attacks in real-life is very scary. And what you teach helps. Mostly about the threat detection and as mentioned, run you as off, blockades and which should be obvious in Sweden anyway to the nearst police officer or patrol guard and ask for assistance very loudly
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.
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.
Is it possible to do a video on how to defend yourself from someone who had pinned you down or smthn and they have a knife? Or if you already have one of those, where could I find it?
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.
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.
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.
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.

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"
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.
We used to train against baseball bats. I know that knife will come rapidly fire so it is different, but I saw some similarities. If they are trying to scare you by showing you the knife there is a good chance (assuming) they will take a big swing. We would train for that. Timing is everything with a bat, you wait until there is a back swing and then charge in. Once you are inside the bat is almost useless and in fact they will try to retain the bat so they concentrate on retention. They are so believing that the bat is the most important thing they wont let it go. Main thing is to avoid those big swings. I have dealt with a bat in a real world fight and the method worked, however once they realize that the bat is out of the picture you have a whole new set of deals. Mean the bat fails they are less confident and eliminating (hopefully not killing) will be easier. The one time I faced a knife i used my leather jacket and caught the knife (trapped) it by swinging my jacket, but they ripped it free. If I had jerked it like a fishing pole It would have worked but it certainly lowered the guys confidence. The next thing I learned watching these Samoan dudes fighting a pretty big group of Latino dudes. The attackers were trying to come in with knives and razors on the two big Samoan dudes. But they both took off their belts. Swinging them wildly each time a guy got close. They were not swinging at the knife but at the face. Getting hit in the face with a belt buckle will put a big crimp in your attack. I used that method and it worked but it is all in the timing. I use the start to run a way method and then turn back. You wait until they have started to chase you then i turn back and whop him in the face with the belt buckle. I hit him real good and he lost all his enthusiasm. I ran a way. But, to tell the truth a guy I worked with found out the hard way that in close fighting can be soooo dangerous. He grabbed the guy from behind while the guy was beating his gf. The guy immediately stabbed behind him rapid fire. My friend didnt even now he was getting stabbed. He barely lived.
Bottom line is prioritize your survival. When you can and if you can afford to, walk away, run and not be there. Because at the end of it all, its not really just about skill or technique. You also have to factor in the determination of the guy holding the knife. PLus you may never know if he has more fight experience than you.
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.
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.
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
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'
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!!!
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.
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!

On point 1. timing beats speed. Being faster is better, but the ultimate decider is timing. Also, it's almost impossible to be twice as fast.

I've shared this, Brother! Great knife tactical instruction and advice. I appreciate you!! Stay safe, my Man!
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
I really needed this thank you
100% spot on and honest!
Very realistic and practical. Thanks Master
Good Work
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.
Great program thank you very much
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.
Excellent video! Well done. I love your runfu if you will.
Great video, thank you. Thumbed
Thanks for the visit
Practical and realistic.
"Here is my smart phone, here is my money",this knife defence always works.
Awesome my brother
Excellent video, demonstrating you have the correct mentality, along with a good introduction to your training methods , awesome 🔥

한국은 지금 때 아닌 흉기난동 사고로 굉장히 큰 시련을 겪고 있습니다.
도움이 필요한 피해자를 두고 경찰이 도망가는 등... 많은 아픔을 겪고 있습니다.
한국의 많은 관계자 분들이 Funker Tactical에 대한 영상을 보고
수련했으면 좋겠네요 ^^ 한국에도 흉기 사고에서 벗어나 정말 좋은 날이 오기를
소망합니다. 언제나 행복하시고 유익한 영상들 감사합니다
Watch the Tim Kennedy and Philippino martial artists knife attack demo at the SHOT Show a couple years ago. Intense.
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"
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.

We used to train against baseball bats. I know that knife will come rapidly fire so it is different, but I saw some similarities. If they are trying to scare you by showing you the knife there is a good chance (assuming) they will take a big swing. We would train for that. Timing is everything with a bat, you wait until there is a back swing and then charge in. Once you are inside the bat is almost useless and in fact they will try to retain the bat so they concentrate on retention. They are so believing that the bat is the most important thing they wont let it go. Main thing is to avoid those big swings. I have dealt with a bat in a real world fight and the method worked, however once they realize that the bat is out of the picture you have a whole new set of deals. Mean the bat fails they are less confident and eliminating (hopefully not killing) will be easier. The one time I faced a knife i used my leather jacket and caught the knife (trapped) it by swinging my jacket, but they ripped it free. If I had jerked it like a fishing pole It would have worked but it certainly lowered the guys confidence. The next thing I learned watching these Samoan dudes fighting a pretty big group of Latino dudes. The attackers were trying to come in with knives and razors on the two big Samoan dudes. But they both took off their belts. Swinging them wildly each time a guy got close. They were not swinging at the knife but at the face. Getting hit in the face with a belt buckle will put a big crimp in your attack. I used that method and it worked but it is all in the timing. I use the start to run a way method and then turn back. You wait until they have started to chase you then i turn back and whop him in the face with the belt buckle. I hit him real good and he lost all his enthusiasm. I ran a way. But, to tell the truth a guy I worked with found out the hard way that in close fighting can be soooo dangerous. He grabbed the guy from behind while the guy was beating his gf. The guy immediately stabbed behind him rapid fire. My friend didnt even now he was getting stabbed. He barely lived.
Good Video
Nice Hapkido 🎉
I feel better knowing I carry my friction lock steel asp with the leverage cap every time I walk
Muito bom!!!
Some great info here.
Bottom line is prioritize your survival. When you can and if you can afford to, walk away, run and not be there. Because at the end of it all, its not really just about skill or technique. You also have to factor in the determination of the guy holding the knife. PLus you may never know if he has more fight experience than you.
How to defend a long distance range sticks or knives
Very nice!
Nice skills guys
I remember this happen to me a lunatic fring knife out screaming (come on)!! Parking lot just kept walking survived no beef stranger.
very usefull tecnique
What happens if someone is swinging at you with a boomerang shaped bush knife?
this is sharp. i get the point, cutting edge techniques. i think i'll take a stab at it
Shut up😂
I had a buddy who used hand grenade against knife attacks, it worked once!
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.
Is there one local in tampa
Where are you located

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 !!!!!
Hiw many of you knocked the atttker out?
@@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.
What to do if person attacks with two 2 knives?
Where you located?
Great 👍
Its a happy day when your son finally reaches "attacker height"
Parry works and allows you a split second to avoid being stabbed and allowing a better escape.
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.
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'
2:30 - Absolutely *ninja*!!!
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!!!
This should be a mandatory course for living in London
This guy is like a Tony Robbins of self defense
I like that this guy talks about NOT BEING IN THE SITUATION and RUNNING, OBSTANCLES etc LONG before any 'Knife Defense'
Nice
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.
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!
Nu alus mah, mekel pekarang masing2.. mun kapanggih anu nyieun perkara manéhna mawa bedog, urang mawa balati.. ngarios wéh, "tuker tambah, yuk?!"
You forgot to say always poke the eyes after a parry or slip
how about self defense with out notice from assault people.
