How to Defend Against a Knife Attack with Nick Drossos

If u can, no matter how they come at you, try the basics. Groin kicks, knee cap kicks, ...

yes

Bro let me tell you something i participate boxing bjj kickboxing and judo but man its not enough in street if there is weapon involve thats why i run into you cause iam humble enough to say i need more knowledge and you showed it 🥋

This world is dangerous. And you have to be ready for what comes next. Thank you Sensei Ando and Sensei Drossos. We need more videos like this. 🙏

Keep backing up , and yell show me your other hand . If he doesn’t you know it’s something to be aware of .

Taking too Much as a pitch

Gun best knife defense.

One offender tried to make me fear with quickest picking in area of neck.He realistic picked many times but exactly10cm before me. I have hand down because I was be able absorbed those picks in hands. But I believe if I would had done some mistake I was be able obtained it in neck or in belly. Therefore the attack on two different place can be effective also with smaller knifes. In compare with one atack directly in to heart which can be efficient mostly when it is not awarded surprising atack. Knifes as the gun is not best ones.

In Your specialistic opinions how is maximal longevity of knife?

My grandma's been trying to stick me for so long I can't remember a time it was different, I can now defend myself when she has her usual tantrums and runs to the kitchen to grab a knife.

How to defend yourself against a knife attack : ALWAYS CARRY A GUN

Yea. Follow this and you are getting stabbed 100%. Just run dude.

Before the internet came out martial arts had a few experts world wide mostly real masters that trained for 30 -50 years from well known lineage and or combat teachers. These days everyone with vocals cords and a your tube channel is an expert. This entire video is cookie cutter that is seen in today's world....the guy talks ( mostly BS ) for the entire video and shows nothing tangible really. In today's world these types of people are nothing but showman and good presenters on stage. I am a retire Seal and I dont perfest to know everything. But I have been in knife fights and almost died during them and trained by forces people that have. This guy knows nothing but to hear his own voice and sound great doing it. Until one day he is faced with someone that is crazy that knows how to move with a knife. Then he will be dead. The internet is full of these wanna bee masters....its typical of today's world and insanity.

Great stuff...That's the best way to survive.

to defend your self against a gun, run... and get a gun!🙄

This actually realistic and seems true some people even have seem to confirm it on the comments which I'm bot so sure about but still awesome video man

What would u do if someone stabbed u out of nowhere

How do you defend yourself with a knife attack

Great Advice, but I would go further. Eye gouging, throat ripping, Joint collapsing, and biting are my additional favorites. It won't be clean, unless caught totally by surprise.

People in the Middle East especially the gulf region are so blessed. Low crime is indeed a big blessing

People aree still getting stabbed today on the public transit, never thought id end up here.

I would love to see nick drossos compete in the ultimate self-defense championships

This video was really great. Just now I have been digging a lot about this theme, I know it's very late, but I need to ask this.

I watched a video about FMA where the instructor basically showed how a simple hand movement with the knife was enough to give the defender a nasty cut on the arm were they to try to block or grab the arm/hand with the weapon, and I'm talking about the veins and other vulnerable parts. Then what are you supposed to do if you can't go for a grab?

Piece of advise, if you are atacked with knife in open space just run attacker round car. You can see atacker but he cant reach you. If atacker goes left you go right and so on. And its true what guy says.

Oh Jesus! These 2 MASTERS!!!

I lost my cousin at 23 to DV in 2006. I made a plate of a saying we'd tell each other when we'd see each other on family trips. License Plate read WCUZP06(WUZ UP CUZ 2006). She'd be 35-40 now. She was a lifeguard & teacher. She's still missed.

I was robbed by 3 thieves using knives, how do you defend yourself?

In one on one it's fine but it's really hard when it's a gang

Am a Filipino who has seen knife fights on my streets and This dude talking survived in the hood or in jail or was professionally trained by one of the two.

thank you !

A knife is a desperate man's tool. You will be cut, so will he, pick a spot to sacrifice and end it fast.

One aspect overlooked
Is the way you position your body.
You want to be as much as possible sideways to your attacker.
If you are standing straight on front facing to your attacker , all of your vital body organs/ targets are facing right at him foreward .
Take and step either your right foot or your L
Foot FOWARD , then step your other door backwards , until you're facing sideways to your attacker . This cause your body organs/ targets facing away from him..
Step very foreward with your most foreward foot until your knee is bent and you've got about 1/3 of your body weight over that front leg.
The other leg is extended backwards
And your knee is locked out ridged and straight.
This is called a 1/2 horse stance position.
Twist your upper body
Ever so much , until your shoulders are straight , and you are able to use both arms and hands equally.
It's it this position , the 1/2 horse stance that you will wish to remain.
Note either foot can be foreward and other legs back and you can switch as required or preferes.
By sliding on your feet up or back you can advance and retreat as needed.
Keep you legs unitangled and never cross step one leg over the other to avoid entanglement
To avoid losing the strong stance and balanced.

Hello Sir Ando it very helpful to me as a loner person 👍🏼

Have you ever been stabbed? If your natural instincts don't take over. Watch video 2, how to get treatment for a stab wound.

That's a good content, but I could like to see a better and a clear demonstration. This is missing moves.

🤔🤔👍🏻👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻

At this point I don't even talk to anyone, i alwayss keep my ears open on road, keep tracking my back, and yeahh i will do whatever you told me COACHH💪💪💪
Focus and grab on the right hand of attacker, most of the people are righty, and bloody will probably use his right hand to attack

Dear Sirs, many thanks of seeing a an expeprienced in the so called civilian life. I agree with all the solution, distance , prpearing hands when closer and being proactive either by way of a prempitve attack, with something from the environment or down to the last resort a double-hand chekcing tghe attacking hand.
Special appreciatin goses to Mr. Drossossś showing the hidden grabbs of lknife, usually termed as the defensive grab which he swiftly changes into front-point -íi.e. attacking hold of the knife.
What I would add is the Dual-dual- speed approach of the defense:

- first slowing dow, which both keeps you a bit more relaxed and attentive and slow motions are degrading reaction of the attacker and after he gets so close as to reach me,
2. Thenwhin he attack rapidly, itś best to move sideways at high speed while defending against the high speed of the attacker´s hand with knife.

Warning, In bouts we can often see exerienced attackers in dual speed action, frist slowly getting closer, talking friendly to distract our attention from his real intentions, often extending front /or just the unarmed hand which is then followed by a high speed action with the other hand holding a knife!
All the best Paul, 67, retired instructor of Karate.

Thankyou for your advice. Great tutorial. 🤟👍👌

Number 1 knife defence move you should be teaching is 100 yard sprints 😂

Good tips,,,observe body language from every where ,,

Real live situations ! Good advise

UK funna make you famous

Best self defence when Ur faced with a gun is to pull out a gun !! Thats what I do.

Didn't even watch the video. Let me sum it up. The goal of a knife attack defense is to do everything you can to get away before you suffer a fatal wound. You will be cut, and you will bleed if you can't run away. Pick whatever kind of non-fatal damage you can try to take, while getting away. Keep in mind, in close quarters, a knife is far deadlier than a gun.

I wear a kevlar-nomex jacket. It really helps to be moderately stab-proof. A leather jacket is also favourable. I also own a foot long smoking pipe made of aluminium with a modification like a small axe head, which is halfway to a tomahawk in a pinch, and usually lives in my hand. It goes invisible if somebody is threatening me, and it would definitely break glass. You should be scared of a hidden weapon, but a full face helmet and a kevlar jacket really does offer some security. Protect your leg arteries and crotch.... I also have stab proof trousers but they are not a daily wear item. Welcome to London. I'm from here.

I know some of them because many years ago I had training a tekwando bando karate the attacks of knife and boxing and kick but Many year's ago want prectice must anything tricks or game's prectice

One thing to consider in these. You will get cut no matter what. Be prepared to tank it in a less vital area
