When he redirected the blade. The instructor used a simple pull back taught in traditional martial arts. Sometimes people over think simplicity. Nothing is 100% but if you pay attention this a kata. He is teaching a pattern a form. I applaud him in showing a idea maybe not used in this manner. What ever you train it must be done many many times. First getting the steps down. Then the attacker must give a stimulus to illicit a near fight or flight response. We must remember to use our whole body. Every part is a weapon. Next we should be talking communicating with the attacker. I want hear me. When the attacker is listening he can feel. It's a psychological thing. Always think about escaping. Good stuff!

Hi Kevin... I'm a blackbelt (a self acknowledged paper dragon). I'm older now, and have never been tested in the real world. That said, my friends and acquaintances think me to be formidable because they know I've trained. I get asked about self defense occasionally and I always provide intelligence rather than technique. Your take on knife defense is the best I've seen on an internet video - and the very first to acknowledge that a person will need to take damage -and need to perform while taking damage, if they are to have a chance at avoiding the worst outcome. I've always enjoyed the following analogy from some years ago. I don't know its origin, but it basically states: "Knife defense is like trying to take a permanent marker from a two year old... You are going to get ink all over you." You have my respect! Keep up the good work!

This will be interesting, this guy is a great teacher

Very good defense moves. Keep it up. I loved that you mentioned Danny Inosanto, he is an excellent trainer an instructor. Being that my family comes from a martial background. I salute you.

Thank you. It is clear that you are masters of your craft but that you retain the curiosity and thirst for learning. I instantly chose to follow your content.

I've liked the post technique exposure, very honest, showing that in a full true attacker resistance, it might be hard to break it and apply the counter technique. P.s.: my interest for knife defenses has always been a priority for me, because my first defensive event occurred when I was 7 yrs old in Sao Paulo, Brazil, from a bigger mugging kid; thus, don't minimize the reality of it, people ! This was more than 50 yrs ago ! Thank you for keeping it honest and real.

As a young man in london thank you so much for this video mate! I can actually see this working in an actual fight so yeah am here training 😅 This can save lives, thanks again mate!

Your a great teacher and you make people think about doing others wrong!

What an amazing video, thank you so much

Thanks 😊

Great session

Excellent lesson.

He is correct went through something like this when I was younger. Be quick with your hands to grab the arm

Great training. Thx stay safe

Great lessons!

This is why you need speed, volume and intensity. If your loud fast and aggressive towards you attacker , It will throw them off and maybe confuse them. It could give you an upper hand as most attackers go for easy targets or what they perceive as easy targets. This is just my opinion from training in the marine corps. 🤷‍♂️ This is still a great tutorial. Practice is key in developing muscle memory and fast twitch response. When training, it's always(in my opinion) to train with random attacks as in a real attack, the attacker will not give you a heads up they your about to be attacked.

This amazing 😻

Thank you this is great stuff to learn

Man Love this teaching Wish I lived in Calgary so I can train their

briilliant! Thank you

Excelente didática 👏👏💪

I used to work in a prison ..so I studied on my own for a long time. the elbow wrap is good ( I am definitely not an expert I don't mean to come across that way) My worries on the running is that he still has the weapon and is able to pursue. and like you have said anything can happen and go against your so called plan of defense. That being said I liked teachers who stress head control ie .. free hand pushing the head back hard and then taking the head hard to the ground, then knee to pin the head down while finding a way to take the weapon . After the redirect, take the head control, but some guys have no neck and getting the head to go backwards and to the pavement is maybe not possible. I'm rambling sorry . Thank you guys for the vid and pressure testing , PRESSURE TESTING!!! THANKS!

there is another video here somewhere where a veteran police officer and ex-marine is demonstrating exactly the same defense. it is meaningful to see two experienced people suggest the same defense. nothing fancy...just basic power defense. both agree that you will probably get cut. you need to accept that right now in advance. it will be critical to remain focused after you are cut or stabbed. i agree with starting from a position where you are already stabbed.

This was a very good informative video, Im doing Latosa Escrima & Wing Tsun (HKWTA branch Sweden), so im very curious to try that drill, I don't belive we have done that type of knife drill yet. I love your content its super good, gets the points out clearly, hard to miss interpret, I might get the full course when I got more funds, seems like a good investment for life.

Thanks teaher

I like the idea of focusing on the elbow, that makes sense. Also, pressure testing makes sense. But engaging in a struggle and letting knife guy have free access to me with his other hand, after the initial contact makes me cringe.

Great video guys. Love the drills. How tall is Kevin?!! 😮

I have a genuine question, alot of the holds that I see ending up would it be safe at all to do an over the shoulder arm throw? I don't know enough about martial arts to know if that would be safe in a knife situation

You are awesome sensi but I see a little danger if opponent changed his angle and direction he can cut under shoulder

Question i have done japaneese traditional jujitsu, and nimpo bugui thaijutsu unarmed combat. And a very little bjj. How do they equate to your phillipeno martial arts system. I have heard of escrimma but never done this. I a. Based in uk

L.T. Should have seen this

From Pakistan

Hi bro

Hey guys thanks for the tips. When you get a chance can you please make another video on knife defense but in this one can your partner holding the knife, hold it the other way around.(His thumb would be supporting the back of the knife) Im not trying to be a smart ass or anything like that, I really would like to learn this. But honestly if some one came at me holding the knife like that, I wouldn't take them to serious, they would probably end up slicing their hand open if they attacked like that. But I did still take them technique's on board. In saying all that I really would like to learn a few moves with the knife held the other way, This type of attacker knows what he is doing and their is a strong chance he is going to seriously hurt me. Also I'm sure you will agree we are going to have to use different methods than the one's we just learnt if the knife is the other way around. Love your work, Keep it up. Thanks

What if grab wrist, and he they them those tilt the knife up into forearm... Then what's next?

one of the best approaches to knife attack surviving tactics

Knife attacks are one of the most deadly unpredictable situations for anyone. Extremely hard to defend against in most cases cause you don't see it coming.

I appreciate that this demonstration begins with already being stabbed. Some psycho planning on stabbing you, probably isn’t going to show you they have a knife before they attack.

I thought that was Randy Orton for a second.....

You guys are in a southpaw stance.,( a left handed stance). If I was in a right handed stance going up against a southpaw., how would you counter?

I’m over here fighting my wall

Other site show knife in hand wrist movement cutting the forearm...

you got eyes, groin, throat that you didn't go for; also, the knife acts as a plug, as soon as it's out, you don't have much until you collapse. he is going to catch up and finish the job. go for shutting them down quick, if it's your life on the line

13:48 why not use your feet to drop the attacker?

What is stopping the guy from Punching him in the face and regaining control of the knife.

😒🔥👀

How about attack with knife from back?

How big is the instructor ?

Your. Got. To. Be. Fast. Trained. By. Mac wenarro

Hmmmmm.

You. Dilled. Brain. Sir

In my country this technique does not work, because the knife attack comes from above

Ive usually used 2 knives, never lost a fight. You use one 6 inch blade and one 5 inch blade double sided. you sharpen these to a razor sharp style. I have a back up box cutters in socks No matter how bug or gow trained the personis they dropwhen grabbed you slice the wrists, neck and face thats even before stabbing. Happy to bring them them into any dojo and let you practice which is not full reality is you know its coming but happy for you to try.

Better run if you can do it

Guru I have a question… I to have a little experience training in knife defense… However, considering the history of the Moro warriors ( with great respect), what caliber would you say would be most effective in a self defense situation vs a knife wielding threat specially if they are high on a drug or just mentally deranged ? I know the 45 acp was created due to the heavy casualties taken in the war… so what caliber would you say would be best ? 9, 40 , or 45 ?

Take. His. Knife. Away

Just. Go. For. The but. Of. The. Knife

Yeah the dude he’s using is a lot smaller than him so obviously the teacher is much stronger not a good example

You're thinking too much. If you don't drop him quick (25 sec) in your first move, there wont be a 3rd and 4th move. chances are you lose. On the other hand, its hard for his hand to cut me when he has a broken neck.

I am from srilanka

nah its easier and takes less time to train how to avoid conflict. im not going to waste a lot of time training for this because this situation will not happen to me 99.999999% of my lifetime. its not worth the time to train for it. i just train myself to have a lifestyle and habbits that further reduce my chances significantly of getting into these type of situations.

In real life, nothing better than run

Hahahaha bruhhhhhhhh stop

Black guy totally mundering the other guy lol

I just have to say that nothing from this video will not help u in real knife fight.

Knife defence is death sir...once you’re inside with a knife its too late. See, when attention has a frontier, then concepts arises, its over. Its about awareness not crazy movements.

Knife fight. Best defense is RUN! With knife inside you as a starting point would teach you to get pass the initial shock.

pls demonstrate against someone taller and bigger to make it real.

Ppl who praise & give positive comments usually really know shit nothing about knife defense nor hav ever been in a armed confrontation. Attacks r NEVER a single attack. U can b stabbed cut slash poked hacked 5 times in ONE sec. A real attacker ain't gonna just let u do what ever u want.

Not trying to be a smart arse here but in all these scenarios all the knife holder (who in this video is not competent) has to do is turn his wrist and its a cut. You cant block a knife in real life, you can only run. I appreciate when backed into a corner you have to try and least do something but in all likely hood you are going to get cut.
