I've witnessed in real life three interactions where an unarmed guy beat an armed guy who threatened him with a weapon. Twice it was a knife, and once it was a gun. In all three real-life interactions, twice in a bar, once in a parking lot, the unarmed guy won with offense. In the confrontation where a guy pulled a gun, as he was pulling the gun, the other guy, (who I knew and was a crazy street-fighting maniac), just knocked him out with a punch. The one knife situation was another guy I knew, who was a trained boxer, and it was very similar. Drunk guy pulls the knife, and the boxer knocks him out with punch. The third situation was two guys I didn't know, in a parking lot outside of a bar, a bigger guy and a smaller guy who ended up pulling the knife. I'm not even sure the bigger guy knew there was a knife involved until afterward. They were fighting, and the bigger guy, after he got stabbed or cut, picked the smaller guy up and sort of suplexed him onto his head and knocked him out. The bigger guy was bleeding afterward, but as I understand he wasn't hurt that bad. I don't know if there's a lesson in that. But I haven't seen a lot of knife defense strategies where an immediate offensive counter is recommended or trained. I also trained as a boxer, and my thoughts have always been why not use your offensive weapons (your hands) if they're good ones? I mean if you're a puncher, and you can knock a guy out, or at least hit him hard enough to disorient him and keep him worried, I've never seen an unconscious guy stab someone. If you're a much bigger or stronger guy, well picking the guy up and dropping him on his head worked pretty well. I'm not saying that being good at lot of defensive strategy isn't useful. But a lot of the training seems to be defense, defense, defense, not block the knife, and then rock the guy.
Why are you standing around arguing with a sketchy stranger.? a two day class isn't going to teach you anything about knife fighting. Damn, a two day class in cutting tomatoes doesn't make you even a descent prep cook. Death Scroll.
Around five years ago, I had a asswipe pull a pocket knife on me, wanting my wallet, when i told the parasite to F off he took a swing that was its first and last mistake, I rammed my index finger that hard and fast into his eye, he went straight to the ground screaming like a stuck pig and by God I'll do it again ππ
Self defense gives you a better chance of surviving a knife attack, but there's no guarantee you won't get cut. A lot of it depends on who's wielding the knife and who's defending the attack. I have stopped some with a kick and missed one by using my hands and got my hand cut. Didn't realize I was cut until after I finished the attackers. I'm older now and learned to use a cane if a knife is pulled. If there's no knife I still want to put my cane down to fight. I guess it is hard to teach an old dog new tricks. Best bet is to run and if you know how to fight and don't have that choice keep your distance. Sometimes you can read your opponent sometimes you can't. An attacker with a gun is totally different, been there too. Thanks for your video and stay safe. π.
I am kind of surprised that the #1 thing in a knife attack was not mentioned, being distance. Keeping a safe distance out of reach is usually the first thing I do. The main thing I always think is there's no such thing as a winner in a fight, because both usually end up getting hurt, so avoiding such things is always the winning situation. If you can get away, do it, then both people are kept safe from being hurt.
The flip side to that is, if they try to attack you with a knife, they are going to do it to someone else as well. This is where "verbal judo" can be of help in regards to them in such a situation, that they have made you aware they are willing to attack with a knife to try and hurt or kill someone. That is knowledge they cannot take away from you, or who you might warn about it.
Safety and self defense is the whole purpose of any kind of fighting, other than sports. No one really "wins" a real fight, they either survive or they do not.

I dunno. This guy would have to be highly motivated, cause Iβm pretty quick, gang.
3:29 The sound of a non-baseball fan learning that .300 is really good for the first time.
Lmao this is not the movies in real life I don't think it would be like that lol
Swear to god up until the halfway mark of the video I thought there was someone crouched behind them but itβs cardboard π
Just keep your distance and stab them with your longsword.
There are no any techniques ! if you see your bleed of from a tiny cut ..YOU WILL HAVE A SHOCK

Sarah Conner (Terminator) could probably survive a knife attack at 62 vs a linebacker. π€
