Knife Defense Won't Work Against A Skilled Attacker

my teacher always said that in real fight we could never get a 100% clean win. it's always about getting lesser damage than the enemy when the fight ends.

Thank you for showing to delusional idiots the reality about "defence" in case of a knife attack, except the releases. If your arm is grabbed, you will have a hard time getting it free.

اتمنى لو يوجد عندنا هكذا أماكن للتدريب على القتال في السكاكين وكيفية الدفاع عن النفس

Knife defense won't work PERIOD. Not worth it dude

I love it when everytime he gets attacked, he just stares and "oh".

Wow yeah thanks for the heads up, ill certainly think twice next time i try to fight a knife-wielding guy with my bare hands

Manny Pacquiao in knife fighting 😁

It won't work against 85% of unskilled attackers as well...😬😁

Bottom line you can defend against knife attackers but you will 100% sustain injuries most like life altering injuries no matter how much you try to train your blocking techniques/disarming techniques.

Knife defence will not work IF it is only based on physical movements. The problem is not that you cannot defend against knife with your bare hands; but that modern martial arts are incredibly low level, relying only on physical movements.

I practiced Tae Kwon Do, Aikido and Jiu Jitsu for decades. Here are some intelligent brothers! Pay attention to the way the person draws and holds the blade revealing is or her skill level. Technically, the fight should be over with the opponent eliminated before he or she can draw the weapon. IF you see a weapon immediately attack!!!! The fight should be so fast, and you immediately attacking, there should be some confusion to who was attacking whom first! A trained fighter knows he or she must take your focus! And no skilled fighter will enter without taking off one or two of your fingers first. :)~

You aren’t teaching any defence like you claim. Run isn’t always an option. How do you disarm someone with a knife, what to do if you are cut or stabbed and how to detect someone who might mug you? Those are the thing you need to teach.

Back when I was in the Philippines we have a joke called "using two fingers to pick up your sandals and run the other way" 😆 ofcourse unless cornered lol fight till you die atleast you died fighting 😊

Instead of trying to grab it you should either run or atack with a punch or kick,in which chase you should use your reflexes to miss it,because if you try to block it,it's like trying to block a spiky ball,you can't touch it,but you can atack the thing behind it

So someone who is skilled with a weapon has the advantage over a skilled fighter without a weapon? A guess that does explain why weapons were invented.

No matter how good you are at combat never expect to leave from a fight unscathed. Best lesson ive learned from this video.

super usefull advice thanks teacher

What kind of practice knife is that would like a real one like that.

Bottom line - don’t fuck with a Filipino guy with a knife. True story. We did a training exercise with Filipino Marines at Ft Santiago and those dudes are amazing with knives. I’m like here man take my wallet. Better yet I keep the wallet I’ll buy you 20 Red Horses and some skewers.

The thing about fighting in general, and a knife attack as described here, is that most people are pretty spastic when throwing strikes or slashes/stabs with all the speed they can muster. Even a "weak/out of shape" looking person can surprise you. This is where finesse based "styles", such as aikido, kung fu, etc can really get hurt because there simply isn't enough time. People "clobber" you pretty quick, especially if you start busting their face up. Even a fool with a knife can cut you up pretty bad unintentionally in some of the ways shown in this video, not because they are good, but because the knife is simply there, sharp, and crossing paths with your flesh amidst the flailing.

Something wrong that means no blokes to knife attacks sorry instructor

How defend against a knife attack run away. Live to run another day

It's said that people run from a guy armed with a gun and run through someone armed with a knife, when you must do the opposite.

Everyone with a knife gangsta til da sasumata come out

If youre being attacked by a skilled knife attacker then you really fucked up and pissed off some higher power

Knives are meant for element of suprise when opportunity is taken having knife along with combat skills is great on the battle field it change life or death critical circumstances on the battlefield for you and others depending how much skill knowledge judgement mentality skill and endurance you have can absolutely change the tides of battle u can’t always rely on a gun in concealment and escaping The knife can be just as good depending on the individual and how he use it.

The best self-defense against knives was invented by Indiana Jones and the U.S. Second Amendment

Okay but surely as he's stopping the knife with one hand, his other hand should be going for a punch to the chin, and that punch is faster than just switching the knife or releasing the hold

Should've worn plate armour.

Try me

No one can block a knife attack, if multiple quick blows are made, no matter how skilled the defending side is.

Bruh. Watched a retired navy seal straight up say he'd just run. No bs, no posturing. Just pounding that pavement in the opposite direction.

Long time ago I had 7 people rob me, a couple had knives out; I just was compliant and didn’t fight.
Another time a guy tried to pull a knife on me and he didn’t have time to get it out all the way; he got an ambulance ride and will walk funny for the rest of his life.
Best just to avoid the knife situations.

This is where guns shows its wonder

I think the caveat being against a skilled attacker. some random with a knife won't be able to do what the guy did in the video...

...

Not that you'd want to get into a fight with a guy who has a knife anyways.

running and then exposing your back don't make the threat lessen, nothing preventing the attacker to javelin you

This title is wrong. It should just say’ knife defense doesn’t work’

Who are yall beefing with that you gotta worry about a skilled knife attacker 😂

A JKD instructor I used to know always said this. He said that if anyone pulls a knife and you have the opportunity to run, then do it, because if the guy has even minimal knife training, then he's probably going to win against you, even if you're a skilled unarmed combatant.
He hated all these 'fake' instructors teaching people knife defense, knowing it didn't work. He felt these instructors are dangerous and their students are dangerous, going about their lives thinking they're ready to take down trained knife opponents and it's going to get them and their friends killed.

Of course my guy is filipino

One thing people don’t realize when they think “I can defend from a knife attack” is you can easily die to blood loss from a slash to your arm.

Just curious but why is he wearing gloves?

No technique of any kind will ever work against someone who is very skilled unless you are more skilled and then you don't need this video. LOL

I mean against a knife attacker, if you're unarmed, you only have two options. Running or trying to grab the wrist of the hand holding the knife.

Wow perfect

Master you are perfectly correct mga Pinoy Lang Naman Ang makukulit nagpapaniwala sa knife fighting

My martial art teacher is a master against short range weapon, such as knife. He teach a move called the thousand step, in case you are facing someone with weapon the first step you do is rotate your whole body 180° facing back to the potential attacker then put your strong leg in front of the other and then followed by the other in quick succession. It's very effective and it saves me from many trouble in downtown London in the night

So, run
