Damn good technique.
unbelievable. I trained ground fighting in Krav Maga just yesterday, but this is a compete different story. great video. thanks.
Burton Richardson taught the same maneuver he's showing at the beginning for isolating the arm and getting some initial control. Me and my training partners worked it and did some full speed and aggression live training starting from the guard. It's a nightmare place to be but that first part can definitely work and buy you time, ideally to access your own weapon, imo. I don't want to continue on empty handed if I don't have to. Always have a weapon.
Everyone saying this technique is sketchy and won't work… It's not like he said "Oh, yeah, this is a really easy and totally simple position to escape from." This is just a response that COULD work. You're probably gonna die if that person REALLY wants to kill you. However, I've done grappling sparring with a knife before and I've pulled off disarms and stuff from bottom, it's not impossible.
Thank you for a knife system that looks like it is actually worth practicing,, I feel that is a realistic scenario, like something ya mite encounter at work in security,, and for the haters every scenario on the street will be different, take what you can from the video and adapt it to suit real life situations, the videos are learning tools not a get out of jail free card from a knife fight
Grappling with a knife?! I'm a wrestler myself, but grappling against a knife is a certified death wish
this needs to be a bigger part of jiu jitsu
even better tip: bring a gun to a knifefight
The guy was fast enough to get you on your back on the ground but you think now, hold his wrist here, bend his arm there, and how did you end up on your back again? Oh, that's right, he's faster and stronger than you but once he gets you on your back Funker Tactical showed you exactly what to do. As you're thinking about it he bites your nose off and spits it in your face but Funker said "grab him by his left ear unless he has his feet crossed and then it occurs to that you are fucked. Where was that in your lesson video? OK, hang on, let me rewind… almost there…
What you guys need to realize is that this is showing what you could do, not should. What you SHOULD do is avoid the situation at all costs. If you're on the bottom and someone draws a knife on you, you can either squirm and try to kick them off, or use jiu jitsu to at least stand a chance. This is a demonstration, not a tutorial. No one is going to be able to do this without extensive training, and even then, there's so many variables at play that your chances are still pretty bad.
I love funkier tactical, but there ain't no way anyone but the combatives elite can pull this shit off in a real situation. Even then I have my doubts.
There's got to be a more simplified way of dealing with a man on top that's trying to stab you.
1:28 – 1:31 is way too close for comfort especially at a fast pace. And 2:59 – 3:11 is some real Batman shit that's either going to end with you getting killed or going down in history as the baddest grappler alive.
Seeing videos like this makes me want to work even harder on my take down defense because it's bad enough having to worry about somebody trying to punch you, or lock your limb, or choke you out, or all of the above while they're on top of you. But now I got to worry about somebody trying to stab or shoot me while their on top. Man!, I swear sometimes it's just better to use verbal Judo just to escape all of these life or death situations that even a well trained grappler would have problems escaping.
I think if the person your fighting with pulls a knife you're fucked in reality. MMA or not, unless he's unconscious, you're getting cut.
what happens if it's a knife with a ring like a karambit how do u disarm them like that
the chances that this can work, are very limited. There is a reason why the police, army and our ancestors had protections: a knife cut is actually very, very dangerous. Many movies shows stupid and crazy staff against blades and they minimize the danger. but again, you must do what you can to save your life, if and only if you go to the ground.
can not see any thing in the film,please wear different color so that can see clear the move, thank you
BullS. There is no reality on those teachings. More than 20 complex moves!!!, on the ground!!!, on a Extreme Stress situation, That occurs in 1-2 seconds!!!! Life/Death situation!!!
Really a BS teaching.
Thats exactly why KRAVMAGA and others systems aré the ones to learn if you you want Reallistic Teachings.
next time if you want to show a technique, please wear some contrasting clothing, nothing could be seen with the black on black. Thank you.
Seriously this is a fkd up technique to show trained or untrained people. It's flawed from the get go. I will consider creating a video just to refute this crap. I will wear my ninja or luchador mask if I do.
I gotta call bullshit on this. 1. closed guard with overhook 2. Let knife out 3. Pass knife
That shit will get you killed.
vs you end up on the bottom-
1. technical get up
2. sprawl & drag his face in the deck
3. knee him in the head, soccer kick the face
4. break contact or Draw and move off line.
I admit I am a keyboard warrior. But somehow I'm also an Alliance 4stripe brown, and Full Dog Bros. I've a 100+ rds on the ground with a knife as well.
This video above would be hard even for the most seasoned sport bjj player.
why the fk let the knife out in the first place?
He goes to the waistline Kimura it. Simple.
this is too complicated for a survival situation. first of all in the street you go batshit crazy when you're on the ground, you don't wait for a weapon to be pulled. If the knife is pulled, then you're gonna be stabbed. that is no position to control a knife..
too many moving parts. I really dont see anyone being able to do this in real life. I love yalls videos but this is just asking too much from yourself and would probably get you stabbed.
Wow, good shit dude!!
Wow….Thank YOU….Keep up the great work!
holy shit that's way too complicated, ain't nobody got the time and the nerves to play twister with a knife psycho on the floor
Contrasting clothing would help identify what your limbs are doing.
