Excellent tutorial! I will definitely start practicing. Can I rotate hand positions like that in an actual fight?
For the type of fighting appropriate for the knife you are showing I've got a 10" Bowie; but that's not my EDC. What I could really use is info on fighting , with my 3.5" Spring assisted, OTF double edged dagger pointed, EDC. Personally I back my EDC Gun up with both the knife and a 2K lumen flashlight with a very aggressive bezel that can dimple a head like a golf ball in seconds. So if an attacker isn't bigger, taller, younger, more muscular than me, is unarmed and alone, I may try not to shoot them. But this means they'll get in too close, so the backup tools come out (always easily and readily accessible). If the FL doesn't dissuade them (and only then) I plan on adding the hitherto unrevealed knife and hitting one of multiple points I know guaranteed to bleed out very quickly. One deep thrust hit only.
I already know your hand spin but am hesitant to use it mid-fight. I expect the fight to be quick, with more 'dancing' than 'grappling'. A hand spin at this point might be considered as I see and adjust to the opponent's style and dominant hand. AND if my opponent is known to be armed, in any way, before we close to attack, I will definitely shoot them at a distance.
Still, "Best laid plans" and "no plan survives first contact" etc., dictate collecting info and insights on fighting with non-fixed, short blade, EDC knives would be appreciated.
Mah Alo Sir!
Flipping a knife is a fantasy move that should NEVER enter into an actual street survival situation. Too easy to get it knocked out of your hand, or dropped if you fumble it. I'm a 65-year old Kung-Fu practitioner (I started when I was 15, back in the 70's), so I know what I'm talking about. Keep a single, stable grip, until the situation is resolved. You are too young to have achieved this simple wisdom, Grasshopper. Do better.
