Yeah, I'm at the hospital right now recovering from a punctured lung due to this useless technique! You'll be hearing from my lawyer for false promises.

You had luck You missed the warning that it's only should be used as a last resort technique and that it's highly likely you'll die trying, but you fared better than that. After you recover, try it against a plastic/ shock knife, and tell us about the physical and technical differences between you and your opponent, what percentage of success you had, and if it's higher than other techniques you tried/ just raising hands and doing nothing (when you can't run away, for example during a terror attack when kids are nearby).

On a fun not. Back in the day in my Sambo school, we used to do knife defense, and knife fighting in general. One of the funnest drills was taking a dulled knife, and grappling for it, winner is whomever stabs the other first. It was a lot of fun and teaches above all else, keep track of the knife.

Few hours after this video was uploaded, in a knife terror attack which happened 10 minutes of walking from my home, 2 Israelis were killed and few more were injured. R.I.P.
Unfortunately, all the people who died during knife terror attacks didn't manage to run away/ were around their kids etc.
Obviously, trying to defend against a knife is only a last resort.

I always get annoyed by these replies „gun or run“. Why is everyone saying that. The whole premise of knife defense is that you can t run and don t have a gun.

It is to instill in you to let go of any bravado and realize that its extremely difficult to disarm a knife attacker. These self defense videos and classes often instill a false sense of control in people.

recently bought this fancy dagger and i'm looking at it and thinking man.... i'd have no shot if someone semi-skilled would come at me with it. unless they trip or do some very dumb shit, it's over. I'm checking this thread out from time to time because i think it's almost impossible to come out well from a knife fight against someone that, like i said, is semi skilled. it's an absolutely terrifying weapon, more so than pistols imo.
we've been trying to find a way to defend against knives for thousands of years and still almost nothing. we really don't have much outside of run or gun.

Yes a knife is an almost unbeatable weapon. If you have a knife and sprint towards someone to stab them, even with a seemingly superior weapon like a sword or a baseball bat or a hammer, they have one shot. Yes you will get injured but you will stab your apanyent 20 times right after that.

I have a great technique:

Is there such a thing as Realistic nuclear bomb defence that actually works?

After thousands years of trying, here at your finger tips is one such technique which gives you a chance to disarm an opponent (against one common type of stabbing. Maybe the idea which is shown will inspire additional techniques against other types of stabs or a better technique against the same type of stabbing).

I know that it gives you a chance because I tried it against resistance. Of course it should be used only as a last resort attempt when you have nothing to lose. When a chance is better than 0%.

Actually a lot of money is being invested into such air defense systems and into their research.

Hi. My new knife defense video:


In the past I have already posted here a knife defense video. The thread:

Realistic knife defence against resistance. Combat sports based.

My instructor saw a study of several hundred knife attacks, he said in not one of them did the attacker switch the knife to the other hand during the attack. Assume it could happen but probably not worth training for. In a karate school, the instructor used magic markers for knife defense. The...

The video was even shared by the Official page of the Russian Combat Sambo Federation.

In spite of that, there were problems with the techniques shown in the video which prevented me from implementing them against an equal opponent.
Mainly:
1) I found it hard to catch the knife holding arm of an equal opponent which goes 100%.
2) The old video focused on The Arm Bar and the Kimura. I came to the conclusion that against an equal opponent you rarely get these submissions fast enough.
As is also evident by real MMA fights.

The main idea which is shown in the new video tries to address these issues against a "neutral grip" stab.

Try it against resistance and tell me what you think. I'm here for critique and improvement ideas. Especially I'm lookin for solutions against an "Ice pick grip" stabs that are better than what was shown on the older video on my YOUTUBE channel. It's the most common grip during Terror attacks in Israel. In the future I'll make a video of many real 100% fights against fake knife wielding opponents (not like in the old video) with protective equipment, and against many different opponent. I'll add to the video and to the testing what will be suggested here - If it works.

Few things I noticed from 3 years practicing epee and doing knife fighting with fencers, martial arts people and bilegerent motherfuckers.

Knife guys ( guys who practiced a lot) don't over commit. Its easy to illicit a response from a nervous unarmed victim.

They also will switch hands if their knife side is truly grabbed, and they are able.

But many times they will tussle with a hand layed over their knife hand or wrist. They will waste time because they think they can beat it.

Those moments buy time, to hit, (usually their face) which sometimes can buy more time to do other things if your good enough and lucky enough.

It not a 100% winnable game.

Oddly, guys that i spared with who were well versed in punching, grappling, kicking ( on levels that could fucking murder me in those areas) were so transfixed on the knife when they realized this is an instant game of keeps, that all the good shit they knew was lost.

Knives i beleive are a game that you really have to embrace the mindset of fully to be able to possibly counter, because its a very specialized game.

You can't be a casual.

Even then, if you don't work on it with a diverse pool of stylistic partners, you'll be on the bad end of the probabilities.


I'm not saying give up if it ever happens, just be ready to embrace that today is a good day to go....

Hey.
Thanks for the comment.
The head tie which is used in the technique, which may look a bit counterintuitive from a first glance, was added to deal with strikes which are not overly committed.
Actually, I found it impossible to solely catch the arm with a Russian tie of opponents who are around my equals and who stab while being conscious of not letting me catching their arm. Maybe it such an arm catching against a conscious equal opponent could work if the defender is wearing an armor and the the attacker try to give everything he has in order to pierce the armor.


At the future I'll make videos against different stylistic partners and against a real resistance wearing gloves and "Full Krav maga armor" going 100%. First, I'm looking for better solutions than what I have now against an "Ice pick" stab. Of course I would love to hear and see critique/improvements/ other techniques to what was shown here and against other kinds of stabs.
