Here is a recent video of some raw drilling. The goal in this was only to control and isolate the attacking arm. We will be incorporating other variables over time such as striking and utilizing nearby objects, etc. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/l7xzo7l9vLPSe3U.html

Exactly. Last week I was followed by a group of boys and even tho they were extremely young and didn't look the type to have knifes you still can't risk it, hence why I didn't start anything. Since then I've bought pepper spray which helps to create a distance gives you time to run because I'm clearly not trained well enough yet to have a knife or even a gun for that matter.

"Maintaining distance" sounds like good advice but in reality if other has extreme intent of doing harm, maintaining distance is easier said than done. Somehow one has to only maintain one thing and that is presence of mind. Which also would be easier said than done because when the adrenaline dump kicks in, thinking can become disorientated & the fine motor movements shut down. Also the idea to "engage" with someone holding a knife sounds like someone who has seen too many Jet Li & other martial arts movies. Your advice is par excellence but in my view the best advice is from Tim Larkin of Target Focus Training. In TFT the assumption is always that he'll be fitter & stronger than you(so trying to 'control' the attacking arm can be ill advice) and that he has his buddies with him. TFT shows pics of people who were murdered who tried to 'defend'. I see parts in your clip where an immediate injury with explosiveness could be inflicted upon the attacker whereby one can take away or at least reduce his ability to be a danger. Trying to maintain distance could get you killed. Because if he is enraged or on meth or the like he can close distance in less than a second. My advice, though admittedly may also be easier said than done, is get an injury, the type of injury that would require medical attention like a crushed larynx or viciously foot stamp his ankle with full body weight & mass to incapacitate him giving you enough time to get the heck out of there. Trying to keep it real. Cheers from Australia PS I appreciate that you give intelligent real advice not the typical yahoo type of advice.

Much love my Australian friend! Thank you for input. IMO distance will always be your best friend in knife situations. However when not an option, you are forced to engage. Being able to control the attacking arm is the first step to pause the threat. From there you have to immediately control your attacker by whatever means deems necessary in that situation. There is always the chance of someone else coming in (their friend for instance) which brings this to an entirely different level. Multiple attackers will be touched upon as well. And thank you for the kind words. Trying to keep this as straight forward as possible

Just a note, if he’s on meth, he’s not gonna be magically faster than he usually is. It makes people act speedy, but they’re not actually capable of some crazy feet they wouldn’t be able to physically do otherwise, in fact, they’re going to be physically, quite weak and slow, because even though they have a lot of energy, they likely haven’t slept eaten or drank for quite some time, and are very weak, although they can’t tell.

I think there isn't anything wrong with initially training against prearranged attacks e.g. repeated low thrust, and then gradually moving to something more chaotic where you don't know what type of thrust/attack is coming. I think that we should also realise that the attacker may also panic when you have have made contact with his arm and now you both are wrestling for the weapon. but I understand and appreciate looking at worst case scenario and like your line of thought on dealing with the attack. great work and thanks for the knowledge

Great vid man! I think one thing that you haven’t mentioned is that the first thing you are looking for one you spot a knife is to run as fast as you can. Never go out of you way and try to engage a physical altercation with someone that holds a knife. Apart from that I loved everything, you did a great job explaining how to handle the situation if you got no where to go.

@staysafemartialarts 2 жыл бұрын

Thank you! Yes, getting the hell out of there and/or making space is the best option and should be your first option. I wanted to skip that with this particular video with the "oh crap i have no where to go" as that is where I am constantly seeing all these "disarm" techniques that are way out there. More to come!

@@staysafemartialarts How can you run if in extremely tight quarters where most of these situations happen. How can you run when extremely likely there are loved ones with you. Not always good advice. Sounds virtuous & wise but in my view only run if can quickly get to safety, or run to where you can find something to use as a barricade between you & the attacker.

@@staysafemartialarts I would not advise anyone to "engage" i.e. try to deal with the tools (the knife and the arm/hand holding it). The real weapon is the brain & the intent in X's mind. To try and engage by wrestling with other's appendage is in my view suicide.TFT trains the student to get an injury like E.G. blinded eye or eyes by eye claw & gouge or crushed throat by web of hand or bone of fore-arm or fore-arm to side of neck with full body weight&rotation or blast knee with full body MASS & forward drive into groin followed by maybe break clavicles with fore-arm strike using full body weight. In knife situations a thumb INTO the eye pulling it out gets you the knee to groin. The knee to groin gets you the knock out shot. THESE aforementioned methods are by no means "engaging", it is finishing the threat by decapacitating him therefore DIS-engaging. Engaging/trying to deal with the TOOL(knife, arm holding it)can get you killed. Trying to wrestle, control opponent can get you killed as one has to assume he has mates with him, is stronger, fitter and more skilled & could be under the influence of ice or the like. Injury is the only way to go. You have a Duty of Care to teach your students in these WORST CASE scenarios to injure. You must only give advice that teaches student NOT to defend but to resort to OFFEND. No.1 Military law is best defence is offence.

But even then it's dangerous if distance isn't guaranteed or if you're not trained enough. Just like with knifes, if anything goes wrong and the other person gets a hold of your gun/knife you're in even more danger

You must be aware of your situation. I am a farmer with a remote farm. I depend on a 1911 and two good dogs one is a Catahoula leopard dog out of Ton Of Bricks bred to hunt wild boar. We are used to operating as a team.even at night. It is not unusual to be out with the dogs at night with my night vision dealing with coyote packs, bobcat and racoons. Most farmers here have given up on poultry I am.stuborn.I have had people show up late who might have knives and bad intentions. I was lucky and my bull was loose and had decided to graze my yard he does not like strangers and chased them up.my apple tree lol.
