MARTIAL BLADE CONCEPTS VOLUME 2 

I do believe that you are right in some points, most time if someone puts a knife on you, there's not much you can really do. But I think it is valuable to learn knife defense for the few cases where you can defend yourself. I have been attacked with a knife three times. The first and third times i almost died. But the twice time I was lucky and able to apply some of Mr. Janich's concepts and i survive with only a few minor cuts.

More awesome stuff from MR. Janich! and Stay Safe Media! The bald headed gentleman is my instructor Erick Mayes, whom is also a bad dude with a blade as well. Here he is playing the the important role of the "Meat Bag"

Thank you Mike. You teach me so much.

These simple, non lethal techniques are easy to teach to my kids. These cripple an attacker and allow one to flee the scene of the conflict to a safer place. Thank you for sharing this training.

I love this stuff, great work Mr Janich as always.

Thanks Michael for the post

Thank you bro. Very well articulated.

Been in a real knife fight so dont have time to pull out a knife but you do need fighting techniques for a take down or be able to land blows to the throat or groin etc. Its the only thing that saved me.

This guy has great theory and mechanical knowledge of knife attack possibilities

Thank you!

Ill be adding this to my collection soon

If you listen or purchase any of his materials, you'll see that he does not advocate any sort of "knife dueling." That is why there is always an attacker. Also, these methods are good for things other than knives like wrenches, hammers, bats, beer bottles, etc. All instruments you'll find on the street. If you train with his Counter-Blade Concepts you'll see that making space is an important part of his system. Just can't say it all, all at once! :-)

nicely done, good video from a real expert. My only comment/critic, is on the angle one with the longer weapon, (the baton) either go left back 45 and make the inside cut or stay and check but knife jab to eye first then cut the live arm. If you check and cut, you leave your head exposed to a strike from the off hand. even if the aggressor blocks the eye jab, the natural line leads to the inside cut the live arm (or strong side depending on what terms you like).

Fantastic!!!!

Luv the video,,,good insight. Tank u

Absolutely awesome video and excellent series. Nice to see Eric in there as the meat bag! LOL. Best wishes.

at 8:06 I would suggest that you rather cut to the bicep or neck face area, we found that in a situation of rush that guys tend to cut their own arms (at the point of checking) more often than not, its just a bit too close, you never cut close to where you check or block

Great vid

great job mazz. way to survive. you will go unarmed first. So you got to have empty hand skills. once and or if you can make space then get to a weapon.

Awesome 👌👌👍👍🙏🙏

Very nice vid sir...have you done any videos for utilizing the reverse grip...or do you not prefer it??

I'm from Russia. Have you ever taken part in sport knife fighting? You can't repeat this technique on the speed. 4-52 Why does your opponent make so long, sweeping movement? What will you do if he cuts your armed hand first?

MY COMMENTARY ON JANICH'S KNIFE-FIGHTING SYSTEM: If you watch and listen to Janich's teachings until the end, you'll gain a logical understanding of the strictly defensive aspects of Kali and Escrima. This knowledge is crucial because it can help you avoid legal troubles. It's essential to recognize that these Philippine martial arts have historical roots in extreme warfare, where Filipinos were fighting to repel Spanish colonizers with a level of efficiency that developed over time. This efficiency was, and to some extent still is, as effective a system for causing harm as is progressively possible. On the contrary, Janich's system is designed for modern American self-defense and is crafted to withstand the scrutiny of our judicial system. This is vital because you want to make sure you don't end up in jail for going beyond the boundaries of self-defense. The courts will closely examine your every action. For example, consider the case of a Japanese-American from my church who shot a man with a knife in the neck and shoulder. What landed him a twenty-year sentence in Monroe Penitentiary was when he fired three more shots when the man was running away and no longer posed a threat. In conclusion, Janich's system incorporates techniques from Kali, Escrima, and other knife-fighting methods to help you stop the threat while minimizing the risk of legal consequences. This is precisely what I want to learn and practice, to the best of my ability given my age and physical limitations, at (41) days till my (80th) birthday. Should the threat not be stopped, there's a chance that the perpetrator may indeed suffer severe injuries, and in some cases, even death. However, it's crucial to understand that these outcomes result from defensive actions rather than offensive techniques aimed at causing the attacker's death. Respectfully, Kali/Kenpo Karl

Good sir

tnx for tips =)

personally i use standard grip for more range, but reverse grip is also useful :)

" Like the public school system, when in doubt, lower your standards." Well said. Especially as it pertains to what is taking place today.

well said.

Great vid LOL @ "like the public school system..." Very clear and instructional thanx for posting

Thank you for uploading, but what does kusada( wrong spell?) mean at 3.09?

Always carry my endura 4.

So how would your style do in mma

Would like to see it

@RL Hays no matter the art or teqnique if u havent done it in real life then u dont know it. So i agree with u. Best way to train in with resistance without hurting ur partner. most of the aikido like moves are based on taking weapons away. Which is why its wrist focused. And for the guys asking about the reverse grip thats not the smartest way. If u have any weapon u wanted pointed at ur opponet at all times. that grip is movie stuff. easy for the other guy to pin ur hand that way.

Do you know any good lawyers you could recommend with your training course? Seeing how we have a criminal gov that will prosecute ppl who defend themselves from an attacker.

hands,sticks,knives,guns need it all.

Michael should collab w/ Boston Dynamics and the old "Battlebots" producers to come up w/ some next level robe-gladiator fighting league!

How tall is that opponent?!!

whoooooo Darwin!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wouldn't the thigh be a lethal shot? Or close to one because of the femoral artery?

Bruce lee would be proud of this.

most of the time in street fights someone will try to attack you from behind blind side you did not watch your back when doing the technique and would have lost

But wouldn't an attacker hide his knife ?

I wonder what would happen is someone who can box, boxes with the knife. Jab the crap with it . The other guy would probably go blind in a few seconds .

@chainsawvenom knives dont run out of bullets

don't stand there and try to fight someone with a knife go the other way need space and distance to be safe without killing them first

No lethal shots huh?

NINJAS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

...but he offers a lot of "Jack in the Box" attack and Defense scenarios, his premise is that 1.) you know what the attacker will do 2.) he will not resist you

Guro Keith Jennings, MBC Instructor under Michael D. Janich will be conducting a session for this year's 2013 Illinois Katipunan pls go to katipunanil.weebly.com/k-instructor-keith-jennings.htm

Mike,need to go hi speed street,to see how it works.speed it up to be real.thx

What you are saying is that you want him to really hurt his student to prove a point to you.( Probably why you have no students) you hurt them all. I pretty sure he know that its effective,alot of times defanging the snake is all you really need, he swings and you smash/slash that hand then follow up. Try it for yourself and see if its effective.

LOL "Let Darwin take care of me" God if only LAWYERS thought that way!!

rather than paying for lessons and get involved in this or that style figure out yourself how to deal with knive attacks and come up with various situations. use common sense and a training partner who puts you in uncomfortable situations and you will figure this stuff out yourself. if you're life depends on it don't cut biceps and other parts of the body he might die later but still kill you, unless you can escape you have to shut him down at once -> eyes, throat, neck, don't wound but kill

Thumbs up just for the public school system comment.

know couple of guys being stabbed and one who used to be a bad guy and stabbed people. their experience was they didn't see the blade only felt it. one guy however saw the blade coming and hit the dude with and iron bar and it wouldn't stop him the blade went through the bone right into his heart, then guts then 2 other places. my take on all this knive fighting stuff is: don't waste your money on it.

LOL, the "public school system." I went to public school, I taught at public school. He's right.

WHY GO FOR THE LEG AND NOT A STAB TO THE KIDNEYS OR ABDOMEN?

who want to have a knight fight in america if you have the righ to conceal carry a gun ???

Poor Vince...

Hello Nate, This is not the right place to post information about upcoming training events. Keith Jennings is an MBC brother and a very talented fully certified instructor in Michael Janich's MBC/CBC system. On another point, the MBC system does not use honorifics and titles such as Guro, Sifu, and Grand Master. I will leave this post up for one day out of respect to Keith, but I will remove it tomorrow. Thank you for your understanding.

Best defence against Knives is Shout & Run. Don't fight noobs.

there is always a coward watching for chance at a cheap shot from behind see it happen all the time

Great videos . . .I also had trouble finding a training partner so I went to great lengths and created a MADummy. This is not a sales pitch I really did create this dummy to train FMA . It's a little embarrassing because I'm way over 50 now, slower than I used to be, but I still want to learn and train. madummy.com check it out. It has really helped, My son and I train on all the time, it looks pretty ragged now,

Gotta love internet bad asses....lol

He shouldn't be that hard to find--why don't you seek him out rather than talking about it?

Il y a beaucoup de bla-bla dans cette vidéo, et très peu de démonstration. Ce pseudo professeur qui bloque une attaque de couteau en restant dans l'axe de son adversaire, sans se déplacer en restant droit comme un piquet d'acacia dans un champ de vaches, cela me fait assez sourire.

He's just passing off Filipino martial arts as something he came up with. Good practical techniques though.

this is extremely unrealistic......... watch cold steel challenge knife fights to get an idea of what real knife fights might look like
