Brief Presentation of Empty Hand Knife Defense from Counter Blade Tactics 

Great demo! I Like how you emphasize training in case failure, that way you can flow to whatever will do the job w/o stopping.

Thank You SGM Bobby for Propagating FMA around the Globe. PROUD FELLOW PRACTIONER AND CEBUANO HERE❤❤❤

Thank you for your effort teaching this martial art.

This is so amazing, I've been looking for way to get stabbed quickly and easily and I've finally found the perfect style! Thank you so much!

Thank you sir! Excellent !

Great stuff as always Guro Jerome

Great video! Kadena De Mano also has this in there Double pump drill and lock flows.

I can see your Master Bobby Tobada just relaxing but watching YOU.

Wow, really in-depth but well explained and demonstrated! The 60 FPS helps too.

Great technique! Very impressive.

I think you may have let the cat out of the bag . I was told by my instructor that the cross parry alone would not work on it's own . I already figured that out though. there are many secrets that somtimes as students we have to figure out for ourselves. I think that your technics are realistic. Thanks for sharing.

Mr Jerome good job,easy and simple application

Very nicely done 👍

Hey Jerome, just stumbled across this vid. Good movement and keep going! Hope all is well with you. -Zane

nice! you are a very good teacher

Fantastic. I love it. On the one where you stepped in and stopped his arm if you use your free hand on his windpipe you’ll get to push him away by it. He’ll be injured

Very efficient, respect ...

So clear amazing sir

I've been looking for instructional's and classes that would teach exactly how to defend yourself in a realistic standpoint when it comes to knife fighting. All I got was the type writer and the Jason Vorhees/Michael Myers strike scenario's. I want to ask, do you have any instructional dvd's I could buy from you that drives as deep into this topic? Also where is your studio located?

All these fancy stuff for impressing the buyers after a big mindmistake wont work. Cause in all he think he will always catch the wrist, whats not the case. Also even in this video he need to get ready for it "now stab me here, now stab me so". The Attacker have the suprize, not you. So in order to make this general good technic work, including to catch the wrist, you need to push your body into him, ideal shove him back. Dont go KungFu Sideway, dont think to catch his wrist always. Block+Grap+Push Shoulder into him, to get the action on Your side! You may not catch wrist direct but then by the secound or thirt Stab which he then can only do by going backward, so not much powerful. If go Sideway you only will fight his left hand, with who he will try to hold you in place, while he rappidly Stab and Slice your missgrabbing hands and body. Sure every technic can work and this is from 2015, so simply train this, find loophools, develop solutions and get better. Thats the beauty i like. Judo was great till Bjj show up, and it will still go on and on.

Cool demo

Thank you ,Jerome. Awesome here. We will meet.

Good God bless you!!!

nice video. pugay!

This is actually good so many knife defences are ridiculous but this is sense

Even the attacker uses stick principles. Leading with the blade. Protecting (?) his free hand.

Will you be showing off your master skills again at the World Camp on Sept. 30-Oct. 1?

pls show also reverse grip counter techniques

Excelente técnica bien enfocado saludos

Yes all very fine and well but how to defend against fresh fruit?

To all the smart alec schmucks: these are drills. They are meant to convey basic concepts of attack. They are meant to drill reaction time and structure of defense and attack. Of COURSE, in real combat, you WILL get cut. No one is debating that. A good coach and training partner will help by accelerating the pace when one is ready. It seems like all the meat heads with their petty comments only want to fast forward to the point where someone gets hurt. Pro tip: instructors weed out you types because many of you don't have the morality nor the social maturity to pursue these arts meaningfully and I assure you, most will be rectified and thoroughly embarrassed with a proper ass kicking, handily. It happens in every gym, dojo, martial arts academy. Safe training, everyone.

One important thing he doesn't explain is that you will mostly get cut! He should also explain which areas of your body that you need to protect and which body parts can sustained damage. As well as disarming techniques. At close range a knive is more dangerous than gun is much harder to defend against.

Miss my bro J, Manny

Good now allow them to train with no feeds, no preset patterns, no locked arns on the feeds, the knifer gets to use their off hand to attack and protect as well now that will really get things cooking😊fun!

It is always easy to write: "it doesnt work" and such stuff and we can debate about stress and "simplicity of techniques that are being used in real life". two things though i have in mind when it comes to "leaving the centerline" kali knife defenses. 1. when i train leaving the centerline and catching the arm frequently (every day!) the technique which is complex will become a habit (yes it is complex!!! because its easier to stay in the centerline, deflect the attacking arm and beat the shit out of the attacker instead of a standing kamura style armbar and taking the agressor down + pinning him to the floor. -beat the shit out of him until he drops to the floor unconscious is to my eyes preferrable!- ;-) ) 2. there is something that you should NEVER (EVER) forget: Speed, Surprise, Violence of action! this makes things (as well technical advanced / complex things) that you never believe to be pissible to do in a confrontation! in the end i bekieve its a matter of personal taste and your personal toolbox, i for example do not train knife tapping (qol dmama) at all because i wouldnt use it (cover, crash, counter is my personal tool!) but anyone of course can train whatever he / she feels fitting his / her needs. one thing though when it comes to the knife you MUST always have in mind (as well i believe the trainers MUST teach that!): when someone attacks you with a knife you will get hurt! if you believe that you will get out of such a situation unharmed because of your superior kali techniques you live in la la land.

Create distance and draw your gun if you have one and shoot but still a good demonstration and show of nice transitions

Where is your school

When new video??? 😢❤❤❤

The best defense against a knife is a Smith& Wesson Revolver! Five shots center mass to slow them down and then the sixth shot in single action to the head in order to seal the deal!!!

He's right, getting "out of the line of attack" cause parrying the other guys arm in a circular movement is real difficult and grabbing his wrist after , for get bout it . Either step outside or inside , block his thrust and attack ..much better tactic .Same as a gun why wrestle with gun when it's pointing directly at you , it's stupid , so you push it to side , misdirect , then tussle . Same principle , you're misdirecting w/ hands .

Si el que atacará le pusiera un poco más de actitud, capas que creo que la técnica podría funcionar.

I am wondering whether the instructor would be willing to test his knife defense theory/techniques against an attacker who's armed with a real knife and is determined to stab and/or slice him. I think not.

I Like to Train in my Class...

check out men's rights. What do you think of kenpo karate?

Maybe people could protect vital organs if they keep turning to the side and moving back. Being stabbed in the arm or leg not as deadly as in the vital organs. No kicks ?

Good instruction on this vid, but I feel sorry for the other guy.

Is that Dan?

you initially warn that typewriter etc is more realistic for knife attacks then revert to single stab and hold to teach the technique. think about that for a minute

Knife attcks are faster explosive ,the enemy can attack your striking arms,what happens when multiple opponent having large knifes .we can't simplify in and out anymore

I got sweaty palms

Not sure.

But I want to see how you remove the knife

I took this in Philippines its basic in the 70's. Most of these are drills and 70% is more on how you react - head and body position, foot work, how you instinctively react. defense is most important because it keeps you alive to counter. to compare this to kung fu is idiotic

Y’know, they make forearm pads.

Realistic technique

This is 100% Premium Top Grain Horse ish. Please don't try this if someone try to attack u with a knife. Use verbal judo until u can run.

The best defense against a knife attack is maintaining a safe distance and a loaded firearm. 👈

Fine unless he's hiding another weapon that he can reach with his left hand

Everybody that thinks this is good have never been attached by a knife! The instructor included.

Always run until you can't. If I attack with a knife you won't even see my arm move, just run. I would never attack anybody with a knife it is a last resort. I practice 25 yard - and 50 yard Dash - I carry a gun and knife. Guenther

Navy seals uses this martial

Literally this Is modern style kali but if you want traditional kali go to The Philippines

Still very imformative though

or u could save time and carry a massive blade

brilliant! all I have to do is tell my attacker [where] to try and stab me. sorry I couldn't resist. disclaimer ..I love martial arts for martial arts sake and always will. I've just come to certain revelations over the years. peace.

Whenever I critique a knife defense video they always tell me that 99% of knife attacks are wild thrusting lunges by the untrained.

and another thing......you know.....contra un verdadero atacante eso nunca ocurrirá...No le puedes agarrar su brazo. Jamas . en velocidad No podrás agarrar su arm.........Never.....JAMAS. good luke. Senpai de Aikido Nestor ,

But the reality in the street is not training because you must compose with stress .

Try to grab the wrist on someone who knows what they’re doing.... and why not use trust lines rather then straight lines? V And where you step in the grab the wrist again you are putting yourself at way to much risk of being stabbed.

Mr. Teague, do you train against non-FMA style and more ghetto and prison shank style attacks? Because lots of keyboard warriors and reaction RU-vid videos love to make a case against real world practicality of FMA.

😂😂😂😂😂

all demonstrations whether free hand or with some sort of instrument like knife or stick or so are shown with defenders being active and the attacker staying idle after the first movement so the defender can show the defense ! but that defense may not work in the real life situation as the attacker would be much more dynamic and aggressive than in the demonstration and there can be a very high probability that there will be multiple hits within moments making the defender weaker with every strike ! there is no point demonstrating defenders to know and do every move and the attacker staying more or less idle ! i don't understand how students get benefited from such training ! better avoid fighting when the position is not equal or one is a bit too strong to absorb multiple hits and still get the attacker down ! bare hand against bare hand ! instruments against instruments ! and sometimes it is better to learn to run faster ! cheers :)

er ... thats y u have mats

why aren't they using real blades? we did until 97!

Easier said than done , pick something up if you can keepem away as much as possible, dont let them close the distance, just sayin

Why are you lifting your feet up? is the floor heating set too hot? Dancing bear.

La mano sinistra..l.aggressore..la.lascia.a.riposo...non calcia..nessuna.testata..

1RULE ONLY: never trust a technique or a plan until tried at full speed with no choregraphy........ if you dont believe me, go check ACTIVE SELF PROTECTION channel, under knife attack videos...... you'll find like 100 videos, you'll understand so much of the reality of knife attacks that you'll think twice before believing it so easy to apply those tactics ........ for example, the way he grabs the blade, and does it at first time is simply not realistic at all, in those videos you'll see so much people trying all they can to grab the knife arm, and they are trying so much harder cauz its about life and death, but they still cant

Good technique against an untrained lame attacker

This isn't FMA. You are not catching that hand when they thrust. Moreover, we dont teach this way when someone is thrusting at you. I call major bullshit here. This guy isn't a legit FMA instructor

Go to bathroom man you don't have to hold it in 😅

no no

doesn·t work that tecnic man. Catch my arm ....if you can. Senpai.

The teaching is WRONG ! To much movement ! THIS IS WHERE KUNG FU BECOMES INDISPENSABLE ! It is not about a style or techniques , but about principle in free flow . ANYTHING FIXED , IS THE DEATH OF THE PRACTITIONER ! ! !

I dont watch this because its only for those who have special training. You should teach for ordinary untrained people how to defend.

Your pretending to be a master,which is obvious you dont know how to control your flexibility

sloppy footwork!

This is crap. D blade continues to b "LIVE" especially on d parries. U will get cut for sure. U can see it. Also like most "master" they neglect d attacker's other limbs & body parts. This guy has never used d crap he teaches like most "masters " attacks r chaotic random viscious fast & come in multiples w a charge. NEVER in just one simple attack. Just get some felt markers & really really try to "kill" each other.
