Krav Maga Knife to the Throat Defense

[xhelldoggx]

Wait a sec, I have one question. If the guy has the knife PRESSED to your throat, how do you avoid slitting your throat?

[MrNicish]

Well, that look's a bit overreacting to me, i mean...do you have to kill a guy that is tryin' to rob you? (if it's the case)

[Caio569]

What if I'm as weak as an 7 year old kid?

[kichansilva]

When i first saw him jabbing the knife i was like wtf?!? :O not only do you wanna hit, u wanna stab a nigga too!!!

[saidadib]

I'm a fan of all martial arts, but I can't see why a sport, where you constantly kick and punch eachother in the crotch, is considered martial arts. A kid can do it.

[DRUMERDUDE1]

my friend......you've just been kicked in the nuts. 

[TheBlabla1996]

what if it is a woman?

[thestrugglewithin]

I had this done to me the other day.

I followed exactly what was presented here but I didnt make the sound affects.

I almost died.

[tittiesinabucket]

it wont work

[kymapz]

my cousin does this stuff he is massive

[PlaymoreWoW]

Shouldn't you hit the arm away and grab at the same time?

[gboxletter]

krav maga is the best

[stsoul]

This video means well, but if I pulled some shit like that I'm gonna get killed.

[Rocksolid178]

But what happen if its a woman holding the knife???!

[ricebunnygirl1]

funny ush ush

[ToryVic08]

In the real world,It's not that easy :(

[aquareplay]

perfect

[GamerJopp]

With all due respect, I think these techniques are very dependent on the force itself. For example if you are weaker than the guy who is armed, you will hardly be able to bend his arm, only if you apply a torsion, and not always your punch will be as efficient in a guy two times bigger than you. This is the opinion of a practitioner of submission / free fight that does not understand much about krav maga. If someone can explain me better I thank

[walmartian]

this is how i fought pat morita in 07

[ricebunnygirl1]

funny ush ush ush

[prokiller8192]

I think he saw a police so he stop the video

[wylkmkatana]

It always looks like a funny cheap movie when people are demonstrating punches in slow mo :)

[wolverine669]

Krav maga is all 'bout kickin da nuz

[ash3344]

this is no good for me, in england if i had a knife to me i wouldn't be able to turn the knife on the other guy cause id be the one who would end up in prison! fucking dumb...good tutorial though

[waLkerPoi]

stab him now your in jail?

[GuNzBlo0d]

questions guys?

[MrSAYITAGAIN09]

Krav Maga is basically doing whatever you can to defend yourself. So If its a kick to the nuts ya. And Im not trying to down play the effectiveness or the technique of Krav Maga.

[dreadlock360]

Usefull stuff

[KayIsBeest]

ush,ush,ush

[azis1100]

Knife attacker in adidas slippers?

[crustychrist001]

In a real situation, the attacker is going to accidently slit your throat if you decide to do that shit.

[MrKaozKaoz]

@crustychrist001 Krav Maga is taught for military REAL war combat situations, if you know the technique you are more than likely to be able to use it against some common mugger, also, if you see, he is blocking the movement of the hand of the attacker with his left hand, for being able to slit someone's throat you need to be able to make some leverage, he touches the hand whit the knife he pops his neck out and controls the wrist, of course you need to know how to do it.

[xchargerOUx]

@crustychrist001 - Really? Because what else you going to do? Just die? Tool.

[M4RC0SM0]

haha you go to jail for this!

[jeryjohn]

so basically krav magas defense is just yank the weapon and Kick to the nuts, pretty much for any weapon pistol to the head, shotgun to the face, knife to the throat, gonna watch the stick/club vid but i'm betting it's snatch and kick to the nuts AGAIN!

[MrKaozKaoz]

@jeryjohn yanking the weapon and kicking to the nuts will always beat screaming and getting shot/stabbed.

[asskickerfoo]

@jeryjohn haha, i'd say 80% accurate

[kimimarokekegenkai]

@jeryjohn you gotta do what you gotta do to survive. you have to fight dirty when at a disadvantage.

[MrViceroy12]

veins pop like garden hoses

[Crabman949]

AHAHA "why you stabbing yourself, why you stabing yourself" :D

[PrivateAreku]

The greatest defense to any attack is "dont be there" but some instances are unavoidable @kaikaikikit its not about killing, its about stopping a threat (a little police terminology for you) if killing him stops the threat, so be it. @7halos1 the general idea is "apply force to one target until adequate defense to that target is applied and moved to the next one" if you watch the first defense segment compared to last, he punches and kicks several times until defense is acquired.

[Jon5824]

You make good videos!

[TheDeloader]

Howbout an arrow to the knee?

[kaikaikikit]

should i kill him with the knife as shown on the video?

[7halos1]

i am like most people and i have a good reflex when somebody goes for my balls

[Giannaras392]

lol i love the sound effects

[45plop1]

awesome soundeffects.

[XxMalcolm]

i laugh at all the negative comments. krav maga is easily the best way out there to end a fight when it tough situations or any situation for that matter

[axgo21]

the only way this may work is if you are able to distract the attacker and with no hesitation pummel the dude, same thing with a gun, DISTRACTION and the element of surprise thats the only thing that can save u in a real situation, remember the robber or attacker is more scare than you so he's not thinking straight of course, he got a knife in youre throat, the other way this works is in the Jason Bourne/James Bond

[gotaigo]

awesome shit!

[antonstiny]

lol stabbed him da f*** up b*****



[ttttkk2]

i wonder what he saw at the end ???

[luisr222r]

Use nice work guys

[stanleygoodmorning]

in the end the police arrived

[hoshinocrimsonwings]

I respect Krav maga, and I know it's a style passed around special forces for combat. But many of these videos really assume your "threat" or enemy has very little or no reflexes, the time to takes to pull the trigger or push the knife forwards just seems much faster.

[TECHNOGUY44]

The Point of going slow at first is to understand the move. these actully do work, all of these people saying negative comments on a video that is designed just to show what the trainging is like clearly have an ego or other problem, with any martial art or self defense you wont be good goin in it takes time, people may think this dosnt work but look into whos using, the isralis, u.s police, military etc. research before you judge

[TheTvrulesthenation]

TECHNOGUY44

you are deluded if you think knife disarms work, they are highly likely to fail even at the most basic level. Never mind any of this kung fu shite of bending his wrist to disarm

[korneliswicaksono]

in real situation, a real thug woulda held the knife tightly.. if the victim grab the hand/knife, the thug just simply kick to counter..

proven..

[mybestregards]

@Phil3TnHD In a spot like that you don't have time for perfect karate/kung fu "technique." Get your head out of your ass.

[Phibriglex]

Only works in robberies....

[viejegasjeremy]

this vid just safe my life last night

[uriel8]

@viejegasjeremy Tell the hole story dude.

[asherzephan]

abis bish bish bish bissshh do we need to say?

[Imbru3]

@Phil3TnHD Because everyone knows the only way to do damage is to be showy and slow. This is fighting, not dancing.

[threadedweevil]

is it just me or does this channel like kicking people in the nuts

[JeySivaNavam]

usually i would say kick 2 the groin thats below the belt but F it the cowards holding a knife he broke the rules

[jembutkering]

Krav maga good but not as good and kungfu

[onotadaki]

This guy you're training with better be getting good benefits, I've seen him take 50+ shots to the nuts in these videos lol.

[Violetcloudz]

pew pew pew lol sound effects are great from this one

[marqAKAQ]

Its funny seeing all these people disregard Krav Maga techniques. Obviously the israeli commandos are fucking crazy ass fighters, obviously they destroy people with their bare hands, so obviously krav maga works.

[hhold]

@marqAKAQ

they also destroy people with white phosphorus lol ;p

[Fragadast]

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!­!!!:-)

[Rachel1998100]

what if hes got2 nives

[chunkymilk]

@Rachel1998100 I thought you said "two lives."

[LFbrasil1]

pijs pijs pijs kkkkkkkk

[BigChiefMike]

see the thing i found is that while i learned a lot in my Krav lessons i found some of the stuff to be a little unrealistic. However, i still swear by Krav Maga and feel confident in my ability to defend myself.

[questogood]

wait...if the guy has his blade pressed against your throat and you push it away, wouldn't you just be slitting your throat?

[JRAD897]

Hold on, if this is military fair enough. But for the average person. The would fuck up their own hand when punching (this would happen to military as well) and they wouldn't just stab someone

[MrKissmycash]

he is like a psycho

[bmcpsu1]

HAHAHAHA quit stabbing yourself quit stabbing yourself :D

[GaAjPwNz]

Wow thats really effective. Its not civillian krav though, its military krav. In civilian krav its similar but your don't stab some one over and over again.

[daveshn]

No.  Just no.

[d1drifter87]

who holds a knife to your neck in that sort of fasion?

[Riwillion]

@d1drifter87

There are 7 billion people around the world, Im pretty sure you can always find some idiots who would do anything no matter how stupid, holding a knife like that not being an exception.

[TheKingdomofErnor]

You can't actually bend someone's arm against their will and stab them with a knife they are holding, if they try to resist. I guess the move works because it relies upon speed, so you use their arm against them before they realize it's happening possibly.

[carkorot]

@TheKingdomofErnor well what's happening is that the attacker becomes disoriented as you repeatedly strike them in the face, so their control over their limbs lightens up for a few seconds, giving you the opportunity to strike them with their own weapon

[TheMrkidman]

if hat dude is strong as hell your not coming off that wall like he did its just not happening

[hayesism]

@TheMrkidman First step is to push his arm away laterally. The muscles involved in that action are much stronger than the ones he's using, you'd have to be weak as hell to not be able to do this against even someone very strong. Once the arm's away there's nothing keeping you against the wall.

Also, krav maga is designed for professional soldiers; it's not a self-defence hobby for housewives.

[callofthedave]

Or you could just give the guy your decoy wallet,you know the spare empty wallet you keep in your right pocket incase you get mugged.

[raphu604]

Very intelligent moves.

[Iucifer]

Lol!! in reality u will end up dead

[Petiofchu]

I was making sound effects with my mouth, then i took an arrow to the knee...

[lupixlpx]

i have one question

[paulwritesfights]

that last part was pretty in-genius

[DoctorAsshole1]

ways to learn Krav Maga: Step 1: grab his hands Step 2: kick him in the groin repeatedly

[DanGan808]

Yessah!

[robertstojs]

pžž pžž pžž huhu hihi CAN YOU FIGHT AND NOT SAY WIERD DAMN NOISES?

[magician876]

@robertstojs that's the breathing at all of the martial arts and that's something real neccesary because if you don't breath like that you can not delivire good harm

[GigaGrim]

Real men use their own sound effects.

[paintball626]

ok so step 1: kick his ass

step 2: stop, back into a wall and put the knife to your throat again...

i got this...

[theevilteacher]

WAIT... HERE COMES MY MOTHER 0:40

[capoeiraES]

@theevilteacher that's what i thougt, too. lol

[1tmproductions]

@theevilteacher lmao

[llovka]

@theevilteacher :DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDd

[Arthasgerdk]

Cause the guy holding the knife will just stay in a static position holding his knife

[KampfgruppePeiper]

@Arthasgerdk yes, and it will be an obese dork that doesnt look too bright

[tywainwright1]

@Arthasgerdk The first punch is to stun the attacker, it will give you a chance to attack in a more rapid succesion. After he is "stunned" by the first punch he will move back (what happened in the video) by the time he regains himself to attck, more punches have come in, then the kicks, then the stabs.

[Kalorexoc]

Great, now i have to start wearing a sports-cup when i go out for a quick rape. thanks a lot.

[demblackfeet]

what if its a big women...they have no balls lol

[idontrlycarethtmuch]

if the guy with the knife pushes forward when he moves his hand, he would slit his throat, better to pull the hand down against your chest

[DerekM1994]

I used to be a krav maga expert, but then a I took an arrow to the knee..

[14natgor1]

Enough with between the legs. Most attackers have a sport cup now.

[SMgrimbldoo]

@14natgor1 You can break a plastic cup you know.

[pedinkus]

Lot of wasted energy.

[AsparagusMonster]

Bas Rutten anyone?

[jaketbay420]

i see potential issues with this. because he isn't doing any joint munipulation (other then the elbow) it's more of a strength fight. also the way he grabs the guys fist insteads of the meat of his pinky/wrist when he is turning the knife on him is really sloppy. if the assilant was actually trying to cut him or get out of his hold it would be really simple. Krav Maga is awesome but honestly this guy is sloppy at best.

[Hellbrokeluce]

Excellent stuff. 99% of people will crumble to powder when they have a naked blade against their throat. That's what the scumbags count on. The 1% who train and prepare for the worst will fight back and prevail.

[TalesIncs]

@Hellbrokeluce I'll bite the knife and swallow it.

[Mropticalgreen]

@Hellbrokeluce only one will survive in a righteous battle for 20$.

[Codenamebravo]

Why did you stop and look to your left as if you went supposed to be doing that lol

[GamehaccKer41]

3:34 boom boom boom hahahaha xD

[martinaee]

Be sure to make laser noises through your teeth while you do these techniques though.... VERY IMPORTANT!

[Tickhocorinthians]

Just Kick the balls and be happy.

[MarkTools]

If someone is REALLY going to cut your throat, u can only piss your pants. That's my opinion.

[Adavortex66]

messy

[SkeyeU]

What if......? Are you serious???? People these are techniques they are not the only way to do some thing. You learn a lot of different techniques and build and change them depending on the situation. This isn't the ONLY knife technique in the world its just one and a good one. I love how ppl without experience look at these sites and then critique the entire video. Or how they compare this to things they see in the movies. This is a good video.

[ONLYuseBloodyKNIVES]

alright all you have to do is be a badass

[prince9024]

not bad

[Kapo465]

Yeah,,, totally not what i thought it was.. 

[ImTheChopo]

Stop hitting yourself. Stop hitting yoursef.

[TheGrilledPineapple]

And what do you do when a female attacks you?

[GEORBATS]

nai nai nai an den sestei pano toy ...tha to kanei

[bigfatdick5000]

The flaw at 0:21, IN A REAL SCENARIO, what if the knife assailant reacts before you and slices the knife right across your neck out of chaos the moment he detects a slight movement from your upcoming arm (trying to snatch his knife), since his knife is *RIGHT* on your neck, he will slice your neck first before you can grab his knife.

Blood fountain again.

[bigfatdick5000]

If you make a slight mistake here or a few seconds delay, blood will blast out like a mufucken fountain from your neck....

[Danyerd]

Bullshit.

[wdkbeatz1]

what if you end up killing the person lol ima just run away forget the stabbing part

[quachkimhuy]

What if he is stronger?

[1edefs3]

@quachkimhuy yea... hard to overpower someone if ur attacker is like a hulk and ur nothing but a midget ass.. the instructore looks like a rlly strong guy... least he looks stronger then the guy who was holding the knife

[vStreetStruckv]

@1edefs3 strength doesnt overcome leverage....just ask Royce Gracie..

[dymproductions]

@quachkimhuy It does not matter if he is stronger. I go to Krav Maga school. I have a friend who is 14 and 90kg (mostly muscle), he is a beast.

Now my instructor is so small you won't even believe it...we were doing drills, it was the 'Beasts' go against the Intructor and baam, the massive guy is on the floor.

With Krav Maga there is no physically stronger or weaker. It is about your reactions and brain power and what to do next and finish them off giving you the chance to run for help.

[lollerskates101LOL]

what if he uses both hands to try to regain control of the knife

[eluap]

Um, what if he drops the knife into his left hand?

[NicoGF]

WAAAH wah yakayakakakataaaa!! pshhh pshhhhh tata ta pow powww AiiiiiiiiiYA!!!! That's it now I get it.

[MegaKpierce]

what if a chick has a knife on you

[ZenMasterT07]

@MegaKpierce This probably means she just wants you to fuck her harder. You're good

[AfroRicke]

so if the one that threatens u is a female the whole krav maga fails to protect u.

no balls to kick ;P

[swebuilder]

@AfroRicke Still hurts like hell to them if you hit them down there.

[SkillyGuy]

@AfroRicke kick in pussy does better damage than in balls

[ItheSwick]

@AfroRicke It doesn't defeat the purpose. If a woman attacks you, you don't need martial arts. You just laugh, slap the knife out of her hand, and politely request a sammich

[Verseification]

@AfroRicke kicking a woman on the vagina still hurts them...

[L33TI5C00L]

@AfroRicke `ha

[SMgrimbldoo]

@AfroRicke Still hurts. And kicks are pretty strong

[TheMultiAnon]

@AfroRicke it doesent matter if your a guy or a girl, a kick to the pupic bone still hurts like f*ck

[mBlackFly]

@AfroRicke have you ever been kicked in the vag? I bet it hurts too, cause they're both private parts

[commandershepard13]

@AfroRicke Kicking a girl in the crotch still hurts them, just not as much as it would a man.

[kakefyll]

@AfroRicke Not if you kick in the belly instead

[caaaaaaaaaz]

@AfroRicke are u gay or what? if you hit a woman to her vagina she feels pain like a man

[Milkdragon109]

Please note Krav maga is for life and death situation haha. who gives a shit if you kick people in the balls at least your alive. just saying

[roddenby]

It works because its simple and not hard to remember, just redirect the gun and knife kick the balls and run. Patterned movements is what doesnt work because its not adaptable and rarely works under duress.

[ryko007]

yeah maybe you should also tell people about the mental factors, like fear, and shitting yourself when u got a knife at your throat. everything is easy when it's only a demo, but i want to see how many people do those exact moves in real life :)

[ZIGGIEPRODUCTIONS1]

Lol , someone walked passed ,

[4EverNaturalLover]

he is sexy!!! and cool!

[FatMexican68]

if you try this and it doesnt work then your not doint it right lol

[Luke010506]

what if the attacker has knifes in both hands? I doubt you can still perform this defense... just an opinion... or better yet kindly show us how to defense on the situation i said... thanks

[aleecan]

0:44 chuck norris showed up and you guys already gave up huh?

[Roger1379]

I like the sound effects.

[0955interactive]

i like how such a grown man still relies on making sound effects with his mouth

[veldmar]

wouldnt they usually be standing behind you with a knife to your throat?

[souumarrozcaseiro]

psh psh pshpshpshpsh (8)

[TheRoeyboy]

Forget about karate

KRAV MAGA IS BADASS

[sFxProduction13]

Whats with the sound effect haha ... anyway good video :D

[dimitryklush]

The truth is that you will very rarely find yourself in this situation (back against the wall). Nice sound effects though.

[hamadicr]

what if the guy grap his knife in other way(knife toward right side) while you try to pull of the knife will cut your throat

@hamadicr That's cool, as long as it's no longer on your throat...It's "redirection of force" not necessarily eliminating it.
