One thing people need to know about knife attacks is that they are unpredictable, and once the attacker pulls out a knife, you are basically screwed. They are not gonna flip around like crazy and drop the knife, they will try to resist and stab you all around you. I actually know this. We had a Karate practise goin on, and our teacher wanted to demonstrate how to defend against a knife attack, so he gives students fake knife and he would give them instruction on how to swing the knife so he can perfectly disarm it. It was basically those wristlock and disarm you seen in a lot of defense videos. Now I was the class clown and was little rebellious since i was 12 years old that time, and i decided to go with the flow and messed with him with the fake knife, he failed to catch my hand and disarmed me, after he told me to stop swingin like crazy and do normally, he failed to take the knife off my hand since i was resistin too much and wouldn't let go of the knife, the whole class laughed and i got in trouble, he can't even disarmed a 12 year old girl. But to put it simple, the knife attackers is not gonna go your way and they will attack you wherever and however they like, they are not gonna drop the knife and are more likely to resist. I'm not tryin to put down any martial artist or knife defense video, just informin that you should be aware of what knife defense video you're lookin for, and whenever someone pulls out a knife at you, listen to their demands or run. It's better to run away and lookin like a "coward" for your safety rather than pleasin your ego and get injured or worst

Superklare und 100% richtige Aussagen. Klasse! Vielen Dank

Ich finde das Intro sehr gut und besonders wertvoll. Eine Messerabwehr zu können und anzuwenden, falls nichts anderes mehr geht, ist besser als nichts. Aber sie wird nicht funktionieren, da keiner sticht und stoppt oder das Messer statisch hinhält und abwartet. Lieber eine Pistole als Bedrohung vorzuziehen mag jedem unbenommen sein, sich aber nicht wundern bekommt man bei der Entwaffung ein drittes Auge verpasst und das ganz sicher. So sehr ich diesen Kanal schätze, auch hier wird man in falscher Hoffung gewiegt. Wie an andere Stelle schon geschrieben, für den waffenloser Kampf ist Krav Maga Street Defence top.

Good vídeo!! It depends very much from the oponents ability to stab, slice, etc. A young oponent will be faster to stab, many times but not so deep. An older attacker will be more slow but will try to stab harder, etc. It also depends of the sharpening of the knife, kind of knife(size, military, etc). Knife attacks happen very fast, and we must concentrate ourselves in protecting the neck and torso(vital organs). Get an oportunity to run away, and manage to stop the bleeding(garrote), arterial bleeding are the worse and you will feel the blood pressure reducing very fast, you will be thirsty very soon. Call for emergency and do not panic, keep pressing the wounds. Good video! Vielen danke!

Really nice video, thanks Michael!

Super Video! Hoffe es kommen bald weitere!

Generell cooles Video, vor allem die Ansprache im Vorfeld! Ich glaube du solltest nochmal den Unterschied zwischen statischer Bedrohung und dynamischem Angriff erklären, dass sorgt bei diesem Video für Verwirrung. Am Anfang zeigst du eine Technik gegen einen Angriff und am Ende gegen eine Bedrohung. Viele Grüße!

thanks for the contribution, important to have options for this type of action, greetings

This is good practical in application technique for knife threatening situation but what about attacking with fast multiple sequence of stabs low to stomach as in a sewing machine motion?

Excellent information and technique! I hope for the different stabs defense techniques video next

Genau so ist das 👍

Danke sehr gut

Hallo herr Rüppel. Für Sie klappt ihre Technik weil sie stark und schnell sind aber was macht eine zierliche Person? Das gleiche? Am anfang des videos zeigen sie eine dynanische Situation und ab mitte eine statische. Heisst bei einer dynamischen Bewegung kann ich das auch machen?mit freundlichen grüßen

GOOD LOVE FROM INDIA

Great insights and technique Master! Thanks once more for sharing! Kida!

Hallo Michael, was hältst Du von der Arm Fixierung, wie Kalah es zeigt: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/o7ukhdpkyZrcj2Q.html spul mal auf 03:30 vor... die fixieren gerne den ganzen Arm und halten den Ellenboden des Gegners so fest, dass er Messerarm nicht mehr zurück ziehen kann. Umgreifen kann er auch nicht, zuviel Abstand.

You do the 'old' technics completely wrongly... That's why it's not working 😉 But I really like your proposals, nothing against you... Criticising the others for promoting your system is easy, just do your stuff 😉 Don't be like Idan and his Kalah system, I'm sure he will laugh of all your technics, saying it's bullshit... Your deserve better.

We never use in Israel the ''old'' technique as you show them in this video ! You do wrong KM techniques in purpose ! This is not honest. Your technique is too complicated for real street threat situation.
