Does your dvd show how to defend against knife attacks when you do not have a knife?
this is insane! loved the unarmed stuff!
It's called practice. Look it up.
I can't speak for this system, but I do Filipino knife techniques and some drills are similar to those shown here, while others focus on countering and how to handle those situations. Point being, they are drills, not an assumption of how a fight will go. You're training muscle memory, and as your training progresses you will naturally segue from one move or pattern to another as the need arises.
No point in killing if you can't earn style points.
None of this will help you in a real combat situation. All this is, is nothing more then flashy movie style fighting. Notice how each opponent just stops and stands still, letting the people cut them? That is not how it will be. None of this is realistic, Never expect your opponent to be predictable. A fight is irrational and quick. Not like this. Good for Hollywood. Not so great for protecting yourself.
Libre Fighting question for you. Is there any books I can buy that teach good self defense an knife fighting? Loved this video BTW. wish I knew all this LOL.
:23 brutal groin slice is brutal.
the amount of over"kill" cutting at the end of each sequence seems a bit much and it does not take into account a real world scenario in the sense that if you stabbed someone in the neck, he is not gonna continue standing so that you can cut him up further, stabbing someone in the arm pit might make him collapse to a side or backwards etc. also another problem i see with many other knife systems is, they completely forget that the attacker still has a knife! does no one bother to disarm 1st?
@MrJaywalker27
They responded to a question like that up above the audience comments.
what is song ?
@LibreFighting You damn right! LOL I feel ya!
I have been in the martial arts almost all my life and I know how to defend my self. But your system is fresh. I would look into adding a few low kicks, jujisu or akido throws from stand up. Wish we could train together but I'm broke and married with children.
@SexyParty154 Hello, it's better if you use your dominant hand when holding a bladed weapon since it's faster, stronger, and you're more used to using it (Even better if you train to use either hand, in case your dominant hand gets injured). Regarding the stance, you lead with your dominant side, kind of like in fencing, for maximum reach, and to get your weapon where you want it faster than the other guy. For self-defense purposes only, mind you, my friend!
Not bad, but for the love of murphy, start using stiff rubber knives like the ones from Boker, and put on some goggles. Someone's going to get hurt.
lol, all killing strikes. better be okay with the consequences if your gonna use this on the street. Most likely end up in prison for stabbing a dude's neck 3 times and slashing down their back to finish them. (youtube viewers)
@heirihunziker its the same for ancient martial arts( i say ancient because most died, leaving uneffiecient sports) you are trained to see how much damage you will do, see how much horror it will do, and even if you acciddently do it the first time, you will never ever do it again, unless in great need.
@LibreFighting This is very true. It's so hard to film in a manner that really reflects your true intent. If your too combat oriented in video, the untrained person will not understand. On anther note training is always done in a progressive manner and understanding the technique always comes before we can train with resistance.
@sputnikdx Even if an assault begins with out a weapon; your empty hand techniques and tactics are used so that you can fight your way to your weapon. Gun, knife, whatever you carry!! Teaching anything else is completely irresponsible and in my mind borders on criminal! That empty hand vs. weapon shit will get you killed on the street. Look at guys like Itay Gil from Israel. Knife attacker (he blasts in the face) breaks contact and shoots him to the ground that is real! And so is Libre.
@sputnikdx More artistic? Libre is pure function. Can you clarify this statement "hardly any of these moves would be smart to perform….." Why do you consider unarmed vs armed "self-defense?" Unarmed vs armed means time to kiss your wife, kids and ass goodbye. Unarmed vs. armed is not self-defense, it is pure fantasy. In combatives "the situation demands the action." Clearly an assailant with a knife demands equal or greater force to stop, if escape is impossible.
what knife do u suggest for every day carry
Looks like a vicarious liability nightmare to me.
In response to Mydeadguy: We have a saying in my system, "Throw your knife – lose your life."
To Mr. Babb – I can do without the music (at my age) LOL! But you and your students are very impressive. Very much like my system with the flow of blocks, cuts, and passoffs. I look forward to seeing more of your demos posted. Thank you very much.
just love it!!
there is no reason to justify survial
I was friends with a trained Weapons Specialist From the State Patrol , He told me the knife instructor there could throw a knife and bet him on the draw of his weapon!
AMAZING. thats all i got to say
I take JKD and we do a lot of knife fighting. I gotta say I like what I see here. I'm sure just like in my practice it's not quite as pretty as it is in this video. Ha, fighting never is though is it? Great trapping skills and tapi tapi though. Keep it up man.
Cool demos, Do you guys have videos showing non-static stuff or sparring? I would like to see how this all goes down with someone resisting hard. Cool black uniforms btw 😉
lets just say "rather know it then not know it"
I do not understand the people who are complaining that these moves are lethal. This is a MARTIAL art, people. People who go to the gun range are also training to kill – are you posting horrified comments on every marksmanship video?
The art is what it is, and its up to the instructor to choose who he teaches, put things in context, and be responsible. Its also up to the student to use their discretion and common sense.
Thanks Scott your dvd is awesome you cover alot of good stuff.. keep up the great work!!
is libre an art or is it just his gym?
LOL what happens if you dont want to kill with the knife???
These knife moves are killing moves. Knife training like that is training to murder someone. This is not self defense, and you would go to jail for a very long time if you killed someone "defending" yourself. Knives can be deadlier then a gun. A long slice up the body will open many blood vessels and a slash the to inside of a thigh can sever the femoral artery and cause death in minutes. I would never "defend" myself by attempting to kill my attacker. Disabling is preferred to murder. My $.02
superb
wow the practice knife looks shiny…….i sure hope it's not the real deal tho.
Heehee The guy just killed another guy with a hat. ^_^
Awesome video and I'm sure this has to do more with the fighting style, but I feel like this is too lethal of a technique for real life if that makes sense… Disabling and disarming seems more useful like ASP.
This is great! 1:28 is SICK!!
I like the knife work…
song is "city" by hollywood undead
