Best way to teach someone to fight with a knife doesn't even start WITH the knife itself. First and foremost you wanna teach them anatomy because where you stab or slash them makes all the difference. If you don't know basic anatomy then they will just be slashing or stabbing at whatever you THINK is best. A friend of mine got stabbed Three times in a bar fight once. The first went in the stomach, the other across the arm, but the ONE that got him was in the upper thigh which severed the Famorale Artery. By the time the ambulance got there which took 10 minutes he bled out in the parking lot. Anatomy is key.
Show them where all the more vulnerable points and arteries are. After they have a strong understanding of that then you can move on to basic things like how to hold a blade in hammer and saber grip, and you're basic attacks. You cannot forget to teach movement though cause if they are fighting someone else with a blade that will save their bacon. Most people will come right at you, so learning how to use that to your advantage is like 50% of the fight, the other half is keeping your emotions in check. It's hard to do anything if you're freaking out which most people would do when there's someone with a knife headed at them.
From there you just build upon that till they have a strong understanding of not only HOW to stab or slash someone, but where they want to strike for the best and most deadly results. Honestly it's not rocket science. Its like anything else in the fighting arts its practice, repetition, and training mind and movement. Many martial artist use Kata for this. Now i'm not talking about the pre-arranged kata that is like a dance and nothing else, I'm talking about kata in the way boxers shadow box to train their mind for the attack which is partly why they look so fluid and good in the ring. There is nothing pre-arranged in a real fight, its fast, chaotic, and dangerous and your mind must be ready for it.
And before some keyboard warriors tries to call BS, I have trained in various arts for 13 years and part of that was in Kobujutsu which is a weapon's art. I hope some of the points I have made has helped someone here, and if you're seriously about learning real skills I wish you luck finding a instructor worth their salt cause that's half the battle right there.
If you're a brawler I would suggest SAP gloves.
I carry a pocket knife with about a three inch blade with me always, mostly because i live in a bad neighborhood
How to defend yourself with a knife by DAVE MATTHEWS
what do you do if someone tries to bore you to death?
Thanks for the advice. Learned quite a few good tips. Especially what you said about not extending my arm too much and just staying back and cutting what's coming at you.
you talk too much, just get to the point
thnx man
what if my attacker has also watched this video?
I came here with expectations. Those expectations weren't met. 🙁
Makes sense, thanks.
I am suppose to feel sad for him but his hand looks like a cartoon
No one likes getting in a fucking knife fight
What happened to this guys 5th finger?
but if your knife is your shield the attacker can easily trap it
He's talking me to sleep.
hey guys rn i only have a pocket knife.looked this up kinda out of fear tonight and am wondering what the most practical knife to carry is. want it to be small
This is why living in canada is a pain in the ass because we cant defend ourselves with weapons or we get charged
Good observations. Defend if you lack the skill to attack.
if i had about 5 to ten minutes to show you, you mean 5+10minutes of your time will be wasted
Took me 6 min to realize he's missing a finger
Not to diss you, but what are your qualifications? I'm sure you understand that if anyone were to use your advice and your advice , if not sound and or based on experience/training, might get that person killed.Don't get me wrong, I did like your video and you made very valid points.Just want to know if you underwent training at some point in your past.
Where the hell is his first finger???
It's kinda hard to take advise from a guy that's never used a knife in a real fight.
Move & Cut, small cuts.. good advice. Let them reach toward you and cut whatever is extended, good advice. Weapon is a shield, BS.
My advice, run if possible. If you have to face off, keep your distance, look for small cut opportunities especially on outstretched arms, then run..
That opponet is Strong. The fight is going to last 10 seconds. KILL Him. Lunge to his jugular, heart, eyes. Cheat as wickedly as you can. Get that knife into his heart. Or backbone. Instant.
what if my opponent has arms and legs
OMG this guy talks forever before getting to the point. Please get to the point next time. We all know knives are dangerous, we all know there are laws for carrying knives… In any case, thanks for the info.
Sound advice, great explaination. I like your style, keep up the good job!
throw your knife then miss if your opponent looks back elbow your opponents face then knee your opponent if your opponent falls down grab the knife then FINSH HIM!
the thing im scared of is just stabbing lol
Was this filmed with a potato
Nicely done. Great video on self-defense.
good General advice for non- violent people…several really good tips for the novice…good job…the main thing is don't be afraid….
Great video! Thanks.
Nigga running his mouth ! Shut up and show us some shit
RUN AWAY RUN AWAY
omg stop talking so damn much and get to the video
another faker criticizing the pros… tell everyone they don't have to learn real self defense so they can learn it all from your youtube video… that's real smart. this guy is a fake
Nice But..
Does It Work With Scissors??
This is all good stuff, compared to HEMA, most of the principles are the same. Gripping should be like a light handshake, gripping too tight makes you stiff and also causes you to loose arm strength. The basics of grip, stance, and body are key as most knife fighting starts to get into the area of wrestling.
y dose this dude only have 3 fucking fingers
4 minutes of babble before you even show one improper grip, thumbs down
Missing a finger? You sure you should be teaching people how to use a knife?
what do I do if it's a real person
I pulled a 13 inch blade on a guy who followed me to my car one evening at a gas station. I ignored him and when I got right to my car i pulled it and turned around and walked a few steps to him with it at my side. He held his hands up and started walking backwards. I lifted the knife to face level like a gangster might do with a gun and i walked him back several yards until I turned back around to go to my car. As I was leaving several people were holding him back. I got that tunnel vision and didn't realize a bunch of people had been watching me. He was threatening me because I told him to leave a girl alone he was begging for money and it scared her. Said he was going to fuck me up and all the while he was acting like he was going to pull something trying to bluff me. My wife and 2 small children were in the car. I couldn't let him get to close to the car. The knife was a 13 inch Big Boy Stiletto who faux pearl handle and it was spear style blade. The knife is probably not terribly reliable but ill be damned if it doesn't immediately intimidate someone.
Why is everyone talking about his fingers? He also is missing a hand. Why wouldn't you want to learn from a guy like this? He has probably had to learn a lot to be able to defend himself. Seems like an ideal teacher to me. People don't think right.
