THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS KNIFE DEFENSE...

Had the pleasure of receiving instruction from Master Apolo in Jacksonville while certifying for Krav Maga Instructorship. He is so nice, patient, capable and deadly. Hope all is well sir.

You have a twin. No joking you. The old traditional Fanzi Quan/Rotating boxing. Amazing man. Love this! 😁

😂😂😂 не смеши мою жопу, дядя!

try this with full speedong attack

Pretty dumb,then, to talk about something that doesn't exist.

Best knife defense is a Gambeson

Never seen this guy, but he is definitely legit. Sometimes they use blue chalk on the knife and wear black or white t-shirts....

"Charge a gun, run from a knife..."

Things that never will work in real...

I'm not sure what the best philosophy is. I had a guy pull a knife on me in Florida with another attacker. I blocked the initial attack which caused some fear in the aggressors. I ended up deescalating the situation and walked 40 miles to the next town to let myself become a memory and returned without a problem, having said that the guy in the video has some serious movements.

Looks similar to silat

Ok do this, iam gonna try an other taktik, called : running or dont be there. But best of luck with youre taktik mate. See ya in heaven

It trash give me a knife ,but we will have sign a waiver cause u might die

I used to be able to disarm the other brown and black belts in my sensei's old dojo without getting hit. It can be done.

The other free hand of the attacker is static..if the lead hand is punching...pushing..clearing the way..
All this stuff goes out the window!#... The blade is felt before it is seen..

In a knife fight you're gonna get cut. You won't really get a choice there, but you can choose what to sacrifice, which is the point: the back of the arm away from your arteries and tendons. Better to just run though. Really don't want to fuck with a knife willingly no matter how good you are or think you are. If your back is to a wall and you can't run that's a different story in which case best of luck and pray your training pays off.

Theres two type of people using knifes , one is to intimidate , the other is crazy (killer) . The first will show you the knife (for intimidation tactic) , they show you for a reason , wallet , personal etc , the other is not going to show you the knife , but will use it because hes a stupid coward crazy that act impulsively and probably experience criminal .
First thing i would try is to practice some drills like these guys so you can act when time comes , and maybe be effective and more calm because the calmer the better in ANY situation or adversity . Staying calm helps you think fast and intuitively witch helps your awarness being activated . Most people freeze , fear , and makes stressful reactions chaotic and make mistakes under stress , LOOK at the eye and hands , look into the eye . Take a conscious breath , and talk to the guy , DONT PANIC, talk to him (it distract the attacker because when you do two things at once you are distracted and dont see element of surprise) , maybe you can make him aware enough to put the knife away and go your own ways ...but if its the second attacker , you got to be calm and mean ! your life depends on it , be aware of the knife and if you can not get away and absolutly have to fight for your life , just try to remain stable and calm and aware and if your at kicking distance take out what you have in your pocket and trow it at him (change, keys ...) it will distract him but you have to act fast ...trow your pocket stuff and get to the drill you've been practicing with whom ever and Good Luck :)
In the end it all as to do on how you control your stress . Remaining calm is essencial , drill drill drill practice practice practice , use your brain (distraction) and be aware .

This is a complete waste of time, building delusional confidence that you are able to defend yourself.
Attack is artificial and way slower than reality.

knife fights/attacks are unpredictable. this practice only makes you used the movement of the “attacker” and think/predict fast. but like hand to hand combat, there is also feint.

yeah. run-jitsu is definitely top tier defense.

carry a gun...

If you engage a knife attack you won't leave unscathed that's bottom line. And unless your a knife defense master/specialist

The first rule of knife fighting. If you see a knife, run.

In your face for everybody saying wing Chung does not work!! 😏🤫

there's no knife defense besides running...
Only fools and dead people think otherwise...

Correct. There is no such thing as knife defense or defense against knife techniques. The only real knife system is The Piper Knife System

DISTURBINGLY violent but a must train

Yas💪🥰💪

The best defense when you're unarmed against a knife is run and look for a found weapon like a stick or bottle or anything you can strike from distance with

Nobody stabs like that

Ok, then try that against two knives 😅

essa defesa tem que ser combinada com seu inimigo.

Knife defense=gun

The best way to defend against a quick knife attack is one of those Dune shields. Unfortunately they don’t work against very slow knife attacks.

This is NOT real Life. Looks good but not real life experience.

Sorry. But not realistic! Besides anyone who thinks he has good technique, never escapes this kind of assaults, tries to defend himself against the knife. It’s too dangerous. It causes unecessary self-confidence!

If someone is always on the attack , that could get quite tiresome . I am interested to know of The Old man that demonstrated such excellent hand to hand sparring skills . He had glasses and often took part in demonstrations. Once perhaps making Red T-Shirt laugh with knife sparring !

Sowat if da resisting nigga do

This reminds me of a karate movie in the 80s.... then u saw ufc n you know karate is not going to work 😢

in a real knife fight you ll be full of cuts. You ll win only if the cuts are not deadly. The only realistic scenario is use armor , something like a chainmail or to use a gun. Everything else is just random

I like that "...defense is HIS problem..."

Terpaksa guna jurus juga... Letihnya.. datang pelik2 pula .. tapi still standing.. hmmm

Throw rocks at knife man!!

Next video :
How to defend against katana

This is bullshit

I've heard "the loser of a knife fight dies on the spot, the winner dies 20 minutes later in the hospital"

Yes officer, he tried to stab me thats why he has multiple stab wounds

Give a 10 year old a magic marker and you’ll find out

These idiots always make demo where the attack poses for a picture. Why not show a video of actual stabbing and then recreate it to show proper defense techniques. Yes these idiots make a living out of naives, carry on.

I think this offensive mindset is an effective technique in many scenarios. I wanted to see someone showing this against a knife. To me the strike while defending is the only way if you can’t just run. Otherwise the knife keeps coming. This is similar in principle to Wing Chun.

Wow, in the 2 years since I commented, there's been some really positive debate. High kicks are for sport prowess; but in the real world, range is a luxury you may or may not be able to command. In fact why bother maintain it with daily stretching, when anyone can kick low. A low kick may be effective, but you still need all your skills to block, evade & knock out. Either that, or the kick may have weakened his mobility enough for you to run. But in the street encounters I had, I never ran, because I only trained to fight; running should be an option you mentally notice during sparring. In answer to Dennis, I've seen a few weapons displayed as a threat to scare people away. But I once had to disarm a guy who pulled a blade from his back pocket during a tussle. So basically if anyone has serious intent, they won't show you the knife until they've used it
