It's good to get out there and move and exercise for fun. You might want wrist guards. That is really our main safety gear because the target is usually the hand, so we aim for wrist. Be careful and make sure you are having fun and staying safe!
Learn to snake bite the hands or use forearm push aways sticky hands training helps with this or budo techniques in general and use push kicks to keep them at a distance then use misleading body language to set them up for the big blow aim for the solar plex area rib cage back or arm put if you can get there focus on big mass you can just push i side the forward stepping leg on the inside of the ankle it will snap
This nicely shows making use of distances and ranges, mirroring and when to go in for defanging. Also, it is nice to see footwork, kicks and headbutts being used and not only knives. Great stuff Dave and thanks to you and your students.
This is one of the stupidest things I've ever seen. If I ever see someone trying to defend himself with a plastic water bottle this way, I'm going to help the assailant. Not that I would have to help much, seeing as a fucking plastic water bottle is being used as a weapon.
This assumes the attack is out in the open though and you have the room and freedom of movement to circle. When I was threatened with a knife I was in a narrow hallway. I came up with my own thought process and style to deal with a knife attack after that. You adopt a right shoulder forward side stance like Steven Wonderboy in karate. You do this because you want your vitals protected from the knife…and having a narrow bladed stance does this. Turn your right arm with the meaty part of the forearm facing your opponent. This forces the attacker to try to slash rather than stab because he’s not incentivized to stab at a very narrow target because it’s easier to shoot in. When you have a narrow bladed stance you can be very quick moving forward and backwards but you’ll be slow moving side to side. You don’t care about side to side movement though. The stab is what will end you quickly, not the slashes. You can afford to get your forearm slashed a few times if you mistime something. Then you also have the push kick from the bladed position. I agree that all these knife disarming techniques you learn in martial arts tend to fail in real life, but I’ve practiced with a fake knife and some friends who were not martial artists and when I adopted the bladed stance, I was able to use some of the techniques I learned effectively BUT it was only effective the first or second try. Once the opponent knew what was coming and could get my timing, I was toast. BUT you only need it to work once in a real fight. I’d say if you can avoid major cuts and actually grab a wrist just for a split second, you have the speed from a blades position to kick in the nuts and put a sankyo (wrist lock) on a guy when he’s in pain and distracted momentarily.
