I did Krav Maga and a few other things, thought I could handle someone pulling a knife on me. Then I started training Kali - put on the safety gear and sparred - realized I never want to be in a knife fight ever, ever 😅

As a student of kali and escrima for over 25 years and having survived a knife attack that got me into those two arts, I can that your best bet with a knife is to target connective tissue and cripple your attacker and then just get the hell away from them, forget about the sparing.

Good call. My target of choice would be the tendons on the inside of the wrist. Cut those and that hand is useless. Not to mention if you nick the artery, if they don't put pressure on it further up they'll fall over dead from blood loss very quickly. Also if your knife is up to it, just below the knee. They can't walk, they can't fight.

That's extremely useful for grabbing and leveraging arms that the attacker uses to keep you from running away so he can stab you. I wouldn't certianly try to "win the knifefight" to bleed in surgery. Another heads up is that the attacker's arm that's holding his knife or whatever other melee weapon he is using to threaten and attack you along with the weapon itself moves very fast and unpredictable even with heavy long melee weapons, like a baseball bat or an ax.

Knife fighting is very essential in the Philippines. Regular person here can't buy guns, and drinking along the roads and street corners is common and they do it everyday. And wen they got drunk enough they trip on people. if you ever went to Philippines slum area where alleys fits only 1 person and too many dead ends where you can't run from hostile people you really need something to defend yourself. Kali is very effective in our country.

@@CombatSelfDefense Exactly this is something people rarely talk about neutralize a threat before it can start. So many people who think they've won with a weapon start gloating about how bad it's gonna get for you. Meanwhile I would already be grabbing the wrist and instead of trying some disarm that more than likely won't work even with lots of training I would rather Sock him to make him lose even just a little grip on it. He'll then struggle to turn it towards you if you get the wrist from underside problem is if he's stronger or more dexterious then you are. But that's why I would rather strike instead of disarm since fighting a possibly losing battle since the strikes will make him have to focus his attention on stopping that hand first. Basically giving a second layer of defense to your grabbing hand. Whether it be from infighting elbows to the temple or chin. Or a damn good straight punch whether vertical or horizontal. If you get them to flinch you've basically already gotten control of the situation. This is all of course if the situation can't be deescalated. In a normal brawl i'm defensive and wait for every counter since my opponent eventually throws a heavy punch with all their weight to break my good guard. This is then when I counter almost like the reverse of standard shell boxing systems like Peekaboo. But I find weapons are a whole different animal where you have to neutralize it before it can start going in the first place. Since unlike a Fist or Foot I can't block a bullet also the reason I bought clothed body armor recently on the off chance I'm in a life or death shooting scenario or something at least I would have a chance to catch the person off guard. That and just as much as I learned how to run away as fast as possible I also learned how to close the gap as fast as possible for that very scenario dart and dashing is the best skill outside of great defense, footwork, and, head-movement. Having erratic movement in a short space makes it hard for a person to focus on you. This can get you up in their face outside of their vision radius and give you a free hit or two similar to a Dempsey Roll in boxing. But with more tight compact and erratic slipping even double slipping in the same direction.

Or a large caliber hand gun LOL Kidding aside, I do agree. Anything you can use as a shield is a good thing. The same thing could be said for having something in your off hand. In Europe they had sword and cloak and dagger and cloak styles for a reason. If you have a coat or even a ball cap in your off hand that can deflect a slash or trap a thrust. Or throwing things at them. A can of corn to the face will do wonders to correct their attitude. At least till they wake up.

I love the end quote, "there is no knife fight, only someone being stabbed". It really stresses the point, that this isnt just about taking a punch but losing your life. At my local gym we went on for days about techniques on how to stike, how to defend and parry, all that fancy stuff but when we actually faced off 1 on 1it almost always ended the same, people swinging fast and dodging then both of them being cut or stabbed when the distance shrank.
@Xynic48
@Xynic48 Год назад
With only 4 days of training that seem pretty expected. In any martial arts, it takes a lot of training until the movements becomes subconscious and purely muscle memory. While knife attacks are usually surprise attacks and there's really no defending against that, and the best self-defense is still just running away, it is still better to know how to defend yourself in situations where it isnt a surprise attack like in a house robbery. And in case you are already stabbed but not dead yet (chances of surviving a stab wound is surprisingly high), it's better to know how to disarm the attacker effectively and not just grab the attacker's hand and overpower him/her with brute strength (which usually doesnt work). There's no 100% full-proof self-defense martial art, everything is situational, but it's better than fighting an armed individual with just pure brute strength, adrenaline and survival inctinct.

@@anonymouslakernerd7214 By surprise attack, I was mainly referring to attacks where you dont have time to react like when you're just chilling on the sidewalk then the person next to you suddenly attacked you. In a house robbery, unless you are sleeping or not in of the house, there is a chance you will hear them before encountering them. But of course, I was just giving an example, a house robbery can technically also be a surprise attack if you werent aware they already entered your home. And that's just one scenario, there are many other potential scenarios.

We do sensitivity drills with knives just to prove the point of how dangerous someone with a knife really is, even without any sort of training and also that the longer you let it drag on, the more likely it becomes that you'll get cut or stabbed. Most people can handle maybe the first 5 ~ 10 knife attacks but after that they'll become slower and so the knife guy has the advantage, so that's why one of our core principles is to not be defensive, but to be offensive right from the start.

I've already met a couple of sensei and they both agree that if you wish to learn knife handling learn from the butchers. They know which slices and cuts make the most damage with the least effort. This is especially true in my country since butchers here also handle the slaughter. Oh, and my teachers have also shared anecdotes about how these butchers fight, too, and it's definitely no cakewalk to go against them. P.S.: One of my teachers was a tailor and he admitted that he got additional practice from his shear and scissor handling.

1. Don't every be in a situation where a knife will be used violently. Stick to safe places, be home at a proper hour, don't be a dick, don't drink and look for trouble. 2. If you see a knife and have the ability to run away. Well, run away. Lol. 3. If you think a guy is hiding a knife (they'll normally hide it until its too late), get away get away get away. 4. If you have no option but to fight, if you have time, try to find some weapon to equalize the situation - furniture like chairs, bags, use obstacles, doors, whatever helps to keep distance. 5. If you have to fight, stay out of reach, dodge. When the opportunity presents itself, grapple. Your best chance to survive is to control the knife hand. Use 2 hands against one. Always look out for another knife. 6. If you are able to disarm the knife, secure it, either throw it where it can't be recovered, keep it out of reach from the attacker, always be mindful of where it is. 7. If knife is out of the picture, use your martial skills to defeat the guy, pin him down, choke/knock him out, break bones, whatever. 8. If you have the knife and he's still going for you, use the knife defensively, move, don't let him get it back. Cut whatever gets close, usually his hands/arms, legs if he's kick, head he's trying a takedown. 9. Try to get to a safe place immediately. Get help from law enforcement or the hospital if possible.

Well said. Most folks think they are going to see the knife. Like in all these instructions video. Oh no you won't. Knives are to be felt and not seen. Most folks have been hit several times before they see the knife. How you react after getting stabbed will determine if you live or die. You won't see these large swings and stabs. It comes at you like a rapid piston. You have to learn to pin the stabbing arm to prevent the rapid stabbing.

Body is falling apart with premature arthritis now though, lol. I can't even kick anymore should i get accosted or robbed. All i got are my hands and elbows so I carry 1 or 2 knives in my pocket every day where ever I go . My trainer years ago always taught to avoid conflict and always walk away. This has served me well. But I still carry my knives and train myself to air punch with them in my hands. These videos by all these youngsters still help me learn and I very much appreciate RU-vid, the content creators and comments with this wealth of info out there.

As he alluded to in the end it's usually a knife attack rather than a knife fight and instigator frequently doesn't expose his weapon until he's too close for his victim to have much chance of defending. Having said that the first rule of knife fighting (after have a knife) is anything sticking out can and should be cut so sticking your limbs out in a normal fighting stance is asking to get them sliced up. The best all around strategy, environment allowing is cut and run when your opponent attacks cut the extended limb as you move your body out of range wait for the next attack (unlikely) repeat as necessary. This strategy is the most defendable in court for those in places where that will be a consideration. If the environment will not allow such movement then you're stuck with going offensive hope your opponent doesn't have a defense, or counter offensive when your opponent makes their first attack cut the limb and move in cutting them somewhere that will result in rapid incapacitation. Before some says something cutting can be done with a slash or stab (thrust) they're both cuts.

The two best things to have in a knife fight: 1. Distance 2. Anything you can use as a projectile You won't always have those. If you haven't trained do not carry a knife. Make them bring their own. Getting cut, stabbed and possibly killed by the knife you introduced to the situation is beyond sad. Belt or belt buckle to the face from distance is better than closing the gap and being within striking distance of a knife. Be safe. Be aware of your surroundings. If someone is creeping you out pay attention. Paranoia keeps a hide intact.

I’ve noticed they naturally start to adapt to a more FMA style or they keep getting killed. Those that don’t adapt eventually stop knife sparring. No one likes to keep getting killed.

If you listen to people that actually have a lot of knife kills - the soldiers from the trenches of WWI - the best place to stab someone is in the face. Will that kill the enemy? No. But getting a 7 inch blade through your jaw, tongue and cheek usually gets you out of balance. That's what they did - they jumped into the German trenches and stabbed anyone they met in the face. Then they proceeded to finish them off. There are examples of soldiers facing as much as six enemies at once taking them all out with a knife with the face stabbing method. Try it out the next time you face someone armed with only a knife.

"there is no knife fight, only someone being stabbed" except in the Philippines where they actually fight each other with knives. But yes stick and knife fighting has somehow entered fantasy levels in western MA peoples minds which is starting to make it watered down and unrealistic The greatest contribution from FMA (or it least it has been to my training) is fast disarms and trips/throws on people trying to hit you with a stick, I can strip a stick from someones hand in sparring in less than a second with a single move and I am only a brown belt, my instructors can do it way faster. Thats empty hand or holding something. Other arts only practice this in compliant demos not in full contact sparing. I love the idea of training wrestling with knife in mind from the start, a real knife fight will be a clinch fight not the way we spar in kali I question the idea of punching with a knife in your hand, your bones get easily damage on someones head in a punch and you need full functionality to hold the knife. I have seen no real world data on this but it looks wrong tom me. Stabbing is stabbing, punching is punching, I dont think you can lump them together like that without making the training of both have flaws

What you rarely hear is that real life knife combat usually begins with you getting stabbed a couple times before you even know you have been attacked. Experience knife fighters will tell you that knives are to be felt and not seen. Most guys die from shock. Not the knife. Encounter a real knife fighters while already stabbed and bleeding and shock is the first thing to deal with. Go to the ghetto. Go to jail or prison. That's what a knife attack looks like. I have been in both fights and mutual duels with knives. I have never met an experienced knife fighters who didn't look like scarred up hamburger meat. When they remove their shirt. I am covered in scars. So get used to it. Prepare to bleed.

Cool to see there are systems like this these days, back in the day when I practiced and tried out Eskrima, Kali, Hema, Kravmaga and so on bla bla, I kept wondering why there were so many systems that taught "self defense" but then used a reverse grip on their knife which to be honest is only superior for sneaking up on an opponent or rushing in on them, neither of which can be called defense. So having struggled with understanding the use of the reverse grip outside of that I naturally ended up using a clean boxing style while holding the knife in my rear hand which worked alright, it keeps the tip towards the enemy at all times, it closes off paths of dodging by how the blade extends out of the hand by simply holding it and throwing normal punches, it prepares you for a clinch, it also forces the opponent to focus on your weapon which allows for much easier kicks. So yeah, point being I guess you could call that weaponized boxing, just cool that it's a thing now. Having studied some HEMA and Italian knife styles tough I still feel the loss of range and mobility would do more bad than good if you are not rushing or sneaking up on someone.
@judgesfiveeight

A weapon changes EVERY outcome of contact, affects the primary areas that you need to defend, affects what you can use to defend, affects how you attack and your target selection. You need to be BEHIND your weapon at all times and therefore would very RARELY have your weapon in your back hand. You should maximize your reach... your "reverse grip" is a non-starter against someone who stays behind their weapon, manages distance and uses your "forehand" grip to maximize their reach. Knife fighting is also about staying "small" and not presenting targets... your unarmed experience has you standing too square (large targets ad not maximizing reach) almost every one of the cuts you demonstrated over-exposed your inside forearm, bicep or armpit (in a knife fight, there is such a thing as risking a superficial cut to deliver a fight ender)... I could go on and on... I "get it" that from the standpoint of familiarity and "efficiency" you desire to adapt your empty hand style to a weapon, and there ARE things that will translate. But there are also significant detriments. If you fight someone trained in a weapon-only system, I've got to level with you... you've got a rude awakening coming. Trust me, I have the t-shirt.

Good basic tutorial. A couple things though. While I recognize that it's not hugely practical, in your system I did not see any horizontal slashes. Also, I did not see any snap cuts. I don't know if these are taught in Escrima/Arnis, because they could be dangerous if they're telegraphed and you can counter them, but it would be another tool in the tool box, although it's a tool you would have to use sparingly so it doesn't get countered.

I have never been in a knife fight and I don't have a martial arts experience that you have. i do hit pads from time to time but that is all. but the reason why you would not be that bad in a knife fight is because you are better coordinated than me for example. but if you faced a real knife fighter with a strategy you suggest you would be the one in a disadvantage. i don't care what those in jail say. their situation is very different it usually consist of assassination where you come very close to the opponent and you stab them while they don't have a weapon. but on the street only time when holding knife with your rear hand makes sense is if you are fighting someone who does not have knife themselves. because you can hold the knife back and your lead arm forward to keep them away from grabbing your hand that is holding a knife. if both of you are using a knife it makes no sense to have your knife in rear hand. if both of you are right handed (or both left handed it doesn't matter) then if one is holding knife in his rear hand while the other in his lead hand then unlike if the were both holding the weapon with same hand when they would be in same stance in this case they will be in opposite stands. now if your lead foot is outside of his lead foot you are supposed to have an advantage. but if you have knife in your rear hand he has both greater speed and longer range with his lead hand therefore all things considered you are both evenly matched despite you normally having an advantage in this situation. if his foot is outside of yours. he has double advantage because not only is his foot is outside of yours but he also has greater range and speed (providing two fighters are equal otherwise) so while i think that using your rear hand is good in case of assassination of an unarmed opponent. doing this against someone who has a drawn knife is not a good idea. also in self defense situation your opponent is more likely to have his knife drawn before you do because he is the one trying to kill you. you are trying to kill him only after you realize he is coming at you. and if he has his weapon in his rear hand then you actually have a chance to draw your knife before he stabs you if you have your weapon in your lead hand especially if he didn't yet came close enough before you noticed he has a knife. to some degree counteracting his initial advantage. if you you use your rear hand once both of you have drawn your knives and neither was able to stab the other before hand it will end up being a very bloody close quarters combat with the one who is better having an advantage but most likely also getting stabled in the process. but there is a higher chance that he will stab you before you stab him because he has an initial advantage because he is the one attacking first. only time to use rear hand is if you are very close to each other yet somehow you have drawn the knife before him. but that is very unlikely because if he is that close already and you have not drawn your knife yet than you are already screwed. only chance you have is that he will not be able to stop you after he stabs you because he didn't get good enough shot to kill you or slow you down. and in comparison to the fist knife is a very formidable weapon.

I’ve never done knife fighting before, but it has crossed my mind that using a knife with an ice pick grip would allow a person with zero knife fighting experience, but a degree of boxing experience to turn boxing into stabby boxing. And the chances of stabbing yourself is a lot lower. Also nobody is going to be throwing punches with a knife right there where the chin is.

I generally agree with the idea that you want to align with the combat systems you have trained with. Thats what your body is instinctively comfortable with. But tactically, I don’t think this is an ideal way to utilize a knife. May be good enough to pass against someone without much martial training, but I dont see it adding any advantages to your repertoire. This is leaning heavy on boxing. A good discipline. But maybe not always the ideal crossover for a knife. Especially a power strike. You have a sharp blade. You dont need power. Speed and keeping distance makes for more sense, which your stance actually is shortening reach and telegraphing to your opponent when the strike comes. Both negatives. If you were into fencing, you would look at this and know immediately how you aren’t using your advantages and opening yourself up unnecessarily to danger. If you box, and want to understand in your terms, put the knife in your lead hand and do jabs. Keeping distance, circle. Except a jab with a blade does far more damage than a punch, and you can’t react fast enough to avoid it. You also dont need to do body blows. Fencing is about attacking people’s hands to “disarm” them. Boxing sees hands and defensive shields. That works better when blades aren’t involved. But a jab to the hand with a knife means someone is losing some fingers. And their hands are that much farther from you, extending tour reach. Now, theyll be moving faster than you like. So youll be slashing at air to keep distance and hope to connect minor cuts. But you kept yourself safe while dealing damage, so thats a good exchange. Some of your stances are exactly backwards to using a blade. Mixing with grappling is kinda weird. Because any knife fighter (or fencer) wants to keep distance and use space. Grappling requires you to get close up close and personal. At that point, you both are exchanging stabs and both get to bleed out. Not really a win.

I’ve been in several fights where someone had a knife, another one when they had nunchucks and yet one other time when we both had fully loaded M16s strapped to us. One thing I know, which has been said before, know you will get cut and likely stabbed. The other thing I found, people NEVER let go of their weapons! Never!! They hold on to it like their lives depend on it…as they should. I’ve also seen people shot, stabbed, hit with bats etc, it is never nice, or pretty, there is no dramatic music playing, no praise for a hero…

@Part.No.1xbil.Prod.Tp.MXMVIII
I been in a few street fights. They get dirty. main points to share: 1) with knives, cuts hurt later. it's the stabs that kill you and they come in quick. prioritize control of the weapon. some other notes: smaller the exposed blade, the more likely it is to be sharp as shit. just my exp. also, stabs sound crunchy, if you hear a loud popping noise coming from inside your body, you're fucked. Do about it whatever you want, my advice is to get even. 2) keep your weapon in the back arm, use your free hand to keep distance and parry. otherwise you might lose your weapon. the only thing that I can think of that breaks this rule is a sword because they're sharp the whole way up and long enough to keep people away from you. 3) grab anything you can around you to level the field. don't play, if you bring it, use it. [p.s. anything long and light is best used by stabbing at the other guy, swinging a broom gets you put in the dark quick, jabbing with it can break ribs, teeth, and burst eyes in their sockets.] 4) if they got something heavy, close the gap. choose bruises not breaks. 5) straight up *don't*, but if you have to go to ground: find soft ground. two points on this: A) you get dropped onto hard ground, you'll crumple like an empty beer can. Also the pebbles and glass will never get out of your skin if you're smushed against asphalt which is a great way to get hepatitis. B) you never really know if your attacker is alone and if your on the ground with multiple guys on top of you, 1: you're dead. 2: try to take one down there with you so they have to resort to bitch kicks until you get put in the ambulance. if you can't make that happen then 1: you're dead. 6) If you're rolling with someone for whatever reason, keep your fists closed. a loose finger in a real scrap is liable to get bent out of socket and that'll take your whole play apart like a stray thread on a shit sweater.

Funny he rips on FMA knife defense than commences to show his angles which are FMA striking angles… I have always taught my students that being in a knife altercation is a very serious matter. Be prepared to get cut but we train as many situations as possible so we can survive with minimal damage . In a real knife fight there is no sparring we train to end it as fast as possible. Stick fighting ,knife defense is the same as sparing in boxing we play to get down timing and muscle memory the more we play the better we become at the art .we learn the teachings and techniques that have been passed down for generations but we keep an open mind because fighting is always adaptable and ever changing filipinos are some of the best boxers in the world and most of their skills come from FMA principals a lot of westernized boxing foot work comes from these principals (Panantukan) what you fail to understand is in FMA it's all relatable whatever I can do with a stick or machete I can do with a knife or with empty hands the concepts are the same the only thing that changes is the striking range.

Been attacked 5 times with an edge weapon , almost 6 .Really only 3 count. Twice were a crazy ex wife who charged twice and tried her psycho stab downward attacks. She attacked with intent but she is an untrained female and just not scary to me . The almost was a guy trying to break in/steal a BMW I had. I confronted him and he had a screwdriver on his hand but hesitated and I went into him and struck him in the throat to end it. Little more to it but basically put him on ground and neighbors had called police. The other 3 were in prisons and jail. I been stabbed once and cut before and caught some pellets from a shotgun from a distance. I have had to use a weapon also. What I have seen and learned is this. I have seen some very pretty and well made videos. 1 or 2 have real life experiences. Most don't. Ever saw two people run into each other or if you ever been bumped into our in a club or bar. That's what the knife "fights" I have seen looked like. Only time I saw a knife was when ex wife attacked . Getting stabbed feels like a hard punch. I attacked back in dudes neck and throat area Screw wrestling over the weapon or whatever. Attack the attackers vitals and focus on life ending techniques. If you train learn to party or trap any incoming strike while attacking their vital areas at same time. Go into the attack and get close in. Use and learn how to maim and kill. Train doing it. Use a short "go" word "No" is good. "Stop":are ones I train. Have some one throw jabs very slowly at first. Train to Parry/trap, or knock down incoming strike while you strike with free hand in throat with the part of hand in between thumb and index finger. Practice slow with partner using both hands. Switch to attacking with forearm to throat, elbow to throat also very slowly and planned at first. After hundreds reps work on speeding up and have partner mix up attacks at medium speed. Add in full kitchen knife or butter knife taped with duct tape. Strobe lights and loud heavy metal hel induce stress. Repeat going slow. That n learn permanent end strikes, breaks, kill sequence ( throat,sternum,groin) knees to temple and elbows both sides, neck breaks n chokes. Black eyes n busted noses don't stop murder. Never saw anyone tap out. Saw them taken out. Good luck n avoid at all costs.
