Self Defense Techniques Against a Knife

mhmmm.. not bad, not bad at all.. the last move was the best IMO

The video presents five useful techniques, but leaves out the most important one:

6. Run the other way

If I go at you with a knife, you better run away very fast.

but what if you can't..... say you are cornered to a wall.. then what? run through the wall?

Curl up info a ball to protect your precious organs.

*into

If you can't you can't.

But most of the time you can.

Self defense experts are so fascinated with fighting techniques they forget about trying to avoid fighting. But it's actually the single best thing you can do to protect yourself.

Watched half of it. And the lesson here for those wielding knives:

1. Just like a gun, never hold your knife out in front of you when in close proximity to your opponent, whereby the opponent could grab your hands to seize the knife, kick it away, etc. Hug your knife close to your torso and go in for a deadly hug if the opponent doesn't have a weapon.

2. If the opponent has his/her own knife, rule #1 goes out the window. You are going to need to keep your free hand out in front of you to block with the outside of your arm, and then use smooth motions with your armed hand for the fight.

Good shit OPie.

Try this shit against a machete wielding black in South Africa and you'll get cut to shreds in seconds. There is no such thing as unarmed knife defense, only knife survival. If you HAVE to engage with ot you put something between you and the blade. Use a jacket to try and catch it and tangle it up, use a chair or a stool to keep range, even a stick. But never your bare fucking hands. BJJ blackbelts in Brazil have been killed because they got stabbed by durggies. Your flesh is nothing vs steel. Avoid the steel at all costs.

That could be a great help if you're like 20 years old. What if you can't run because of physical problems, like stiff legs?

LOL - no, nothing can go wrong there. It's a completely different scenario in real life from when you are training and the bad guy just stands there waiting for you to think about what you need to do. But still worth knowing - never know - it might help some day.

A few not mentioned:

.22
.357
.38
.44
.45
.50

GUN. how many low abdominal stabs are survive.

These do not work with people who understand reality.

yes good point, but learning or even knowing a fighting skill is better than no skill.


having a gun should be primary defense, and then martial arts as a last resort.

Then you shit in your hand and start laughing maniacally
No one wants to get someone else’s shit on them
In fact I often “pre-shit” my hand if I think there might be trouble on the horizon

Certainaly get away fast. And never get into a gunfight with a knife.

Actually, I’d rather go against a machete wielding ”jogger” than someone who is trained with using small blade. Small blade is very hard to defend against compared to a big machete.

A handgun...

Drops microphone and walks away...

what's this?
a Useful Information thread on glp?

wow, thank you. great information. appreciate you OP.

You should try defending yourself against someone who knows how to use a tomahawk and a trench knife.

Balls, always the balls. What if it's a woman attacking you?

THIS ^^^^^^

Most people can't defend this lololol

Just shoot them
