5 Things I wish I knew about knife attacks 

Yet another example of why I carry a 42 inch long combat cane 🤔

great vid boys,so much knife crime nowadays we all need a little help in what to do if we cant get away

Glad to see more videos on knife attacks, as, frankly, I found the current cache of A.F. videos on the subject to be fairly scant, especially considering how much harm the person being attacked can suffer if the attack is not successfully repelled. In fact, I think in the online academy series there is only one or two techniques presented in regard to defending against knife attacks (these are contained in the street fighting series). KEEP GROWING, AIKIDOFLOWERS!

I swear even when these guys are just demonstrating, they look like any second they are gonna really go off! LOL Great video!

Love the segment, you two are great together, you spark off each other.. One thing,you might consult each other on what you're wearing, your t-shirts looked like mustard and ketchup..😊😊😊😊 Much love from Boston...

Thank you!💯👍✊✌!

don't worry about cuts in the arm? ever heard of nerve damage? you might never be able to move your hand or fingers the right way again, theres also arteries and stufff, don`t underestimate cuts!

Because I can used my cane like a bokken

Probably the sixth thing is that most knife attacks are stealthy: people usually don't show you the knife before they start using it on you. I live in the Seattle area, and just this week two guys in the light rail station started scuffling: they were grabbing each other, pushing each other, and then one of them reaches into his pocket and pulls out a knife and stabs the other guy. The guy ended up dying. The only lesson I can draw from this is to avoid street fights like the plague. A certain alarmingly high percentage of people will pull a weapon in what seems to be an ordinary fist fight, and then often claim "self defense" after they've stabbed or shot you. Fights in the street really prove nothing. I'd say that you should invite your enemy to fight you at a boxing or MMA gym, but even this might not be a solution because he might just stab you after the boxing or MMA match.

Since watching the video, I have run across other RU-vid videos depicting a very scary and uncommon type of knife attack, typical in prisons and such .. nicknamed "the sewing machine". As named, it involves the attacker rapidly thrusting their knife back and forth at their victim repeatedly, akin to a sewing machine needle being used to sew something. I did see various defenses to such an attack presented in RU-vid videos, including at least one using traditional Aikido techniques (which, IMHO, I believe might prove to not be effective/practical on the street). Would be curious to see what our Aikidoflow boys come up with to defend against such an attack. Based on those videos out there and the past A.F. videos on knife attacks, I would envision it involving using the "x-block" with the forearms to stop the initial thrust, then grabbing the attacker's wrist forcibly with both hands to immobilize it, and then finally finishing with the execution of a joint lock/throwing technique of one type or another. ? KEEP GROWING, AIKIDOFLOWERS!

A lot of wisdom within 8 minutes.

what controls all the actions? the brain - so that is what you have to take out, there are people who can still stab or shoot, even though one of their hands, wrist, is broken. it actually happen, where a guy killed two people, because they went for the wrong thing.

A knife or any other weopon, is close quarter combat it cant be done at a distance. They have to be close to use this..

I carry a pepper spray 😊😊
