  • The best advice for women is simple. If you are attacked seriously and held in a choke hold or punched YOU WILL PANIC.

    Unless you are willing to train constantly you need to convert your panic response to something that will work. Only this works. Get a Spyderso Delica knife and learn to open with one hand.

    Carry the knife as your pocket knife and slowly get used to it. NEVER show it or threaten.

    If attacked slice arm of attacker to bone. If punched use to block, then cut. Never stab.

  • So, let me get this straight. First, gently brush aside the attack from someone maybe twice your strength. Then, before they can pull back and cut your arm or worse slash toward your face, you reach across your body and bend their wrist(hopefully they don't resist or have it locked). Then, you take a few steps TOWARD them and knee their elbow before kicking the back of their knee and then do what? What if they grab you with the other arm or your hand isn't strong enough to overpower the wrist?

  • 0:27 pull the knife back and cut every mayor artery in the forearm. This is great lesson in how to defend yourself with a knife against women who have been studying bad selfdefence techniques.

  • Someone that size could stop the attack. But I would pary and knee strike. Attack the attacker.

  • he can just punsh her in the face with his left hand lol

  • I would not take self defence advice from a guy that grooms as much as this man. He looks like Ken from Barbie!

    Also, how many fights has he been in? His face is immaculate! He also has a fake tan and waxes his eye brows! FUCK OFF MATE!

    He is more than likely to hit you with his hair straighteners than actually defend himself in a fight.

  • I would not take self defence advice from a guy that grooms as much as this man. Also, how many fights has he been in? His face is immaculate! He has a fake tan and waxes hi eye brows! FUCK OFF MATE!

  • noone is going along with this move and let you do it. stupid technique. and if she did try that on an attacker i gaurantee she would be eating punches directly to the face from the guys left arm and since both her hands are tied up she would be defensless against it. the only way to practice knife defense is to use a fake knife or marker and practice stabbing eachother at 100% pace and see what works for you in that situation. these preplanned techniques are not good sorry

  • I know how a woman can safely protect herself from an attacker who's armed with a knife - SHOOT THEM!!!

    Criminals prefer unarmed victims.

  • I am doing wing tsun im 1 inst lv and i have to tell you this is shit there are 1000s of ways to defent your self better that is to fancy and unpractical sory 4 my bad eanglish...

  • I'm a wing tsun student and this would NEVER work! There are much simpler techniques to use! C'mon dude.....this is ridiculous

  • yea in the field you would be dead with this. i had to use wing chun in the field and this wouldn't work lol

  • Since the attacker is goind to easily fillet this chick with this BS, i'll take a wing and a thigh please. Mr. Attacker, you can have the rest.

  • oh for petes sake "expert village" you really just have to plain stop what you're doing posting all these supposed "self defense" vidz up on youtube. Just stop please just stop. I know youtube is just entertainment but come on be for real. who the hell is evaluating what you guys consider "expert" knowledge?! you guys have a perfect record for posting absolute crap when it comes to these quote "self defense" vidz.  JUST STOP REALLY SERIOUSLY JUST STOP.

  • your attacker will not attack with slow speed nor will he stand there and do nothing while you perform your fancy kata on him. attackers are very aggressive on the street, i'd like to see this be done while the attacker swings his knife in rage

  • It's a bit difficult to apply these techniques in reality and under the precione of a potential aggressor, I invite you to visit my channel greetings

    Es complicado aplicar estas tecnicas en realidad y bajo la precion de un potencial agresor , les invito a visitar mi canal , saludos

  • al gore-like pedophile

  • This is rubbish. If you manage to parry, just run, preferably run before you even parry. Doesn't make a difference what size you are or if you're a man or woman. I really hope no one would consider using that in a real situation.

  • there is a reason you don't see any wing chun masters in the ufc.

  • Check out Russian systema self deffense.

    They are coming to Cancun in 2011 for North American people.

  • Performance art meets self-defense. Most martial arts are developed at partial speed and partial power, so all sorts of dandy techniques emerge in cooperative training. The only way they can test their techniques is have an attacker stab with a plastic knife a few times.

  • best advice for women is always have there guy friends with them. a true man will protect a woman no matter what.

  • @octoslut

    LMAO, its like saying "Best advice for women is to stay in the kitchen"

    She can also be a strong woman and work out. I mean, I know girls that probably have bigger balls and muscles that any of my guy friends.

  • @chaotickittie03

    maybe its time to find new male friends who are strong and not scared. 

  • @octoslut

    So women can't ever be alone, have a happy life...

  • I see we are going to have a lot of dead women here.chinese people fighting empty hand with knifes on tv is fake kung fu.this is a unfair fight.and a one hand block will not stop a knife.from cutting you flesh.if a preson have a knife,you only have on option.run like hell.or you will be paintting the floor with your blood.with that fancey one hand move that put milions of people in the gave.

  • if he has a knife just run.and you will live for another day.you can't block a knife with one hand.not even bruce lee can do that.she need to run and find a chair.not block with her hand.she will bleed to death.ha ha ha

  • fucking stupid advice lol

    

  • This is bad.

  • bad advice

  • He's too big and she's too small for that to work out...granted that she isn't stabbed already or cut badly at least when she reaches over he can easily just punch her in the face.

  • stupida mierda esa tonteria jamas funcionaria en la realidad

  • I practiced a Marital Art called RunDo....When you see a knife you Do-Run!

  • @ASSBANG6969 lolololol, hilarious

  • oh bullshit ! Long time no see !

  • stab! stab! stab! she would be so dead listening to this.

  • the safes thing for a woman is to carry a pistol!!!!

  • If the guy has a knife give him ur wallet and cancel all your cards after. You will have more chance of living. Theres so much wrong with this video im not even going to start explaining.

  • @dragonmist58 it will if you drill it realistically.

  • i ll give him my sexy sister with a 1000 000 bucks if he can do that to me

  • If you do it slowly it works but not with speed

  • @schemuel not unless if you train it with speed resistance and aggression. How you train is how you will fight.

  • @Dharma73 now i see master

  • @schemuel wow, what's with the sarcasm?

  • this is just more unrealistic traditional martial arts that works in movies, not in real life. I have real issues with any move that requires to to grab an attackers hand while hes striking with it. id bet even if she had both hands on his wrist hed still have enough strength to keep stabbing her.

    try it with a marker. grab her hair with your other hand, push and pull her around. be aggressive, try to push her onto the floor while your stabbing her. will it still work? NO!

  • @Johnnyventi this is just unrealistic technques, dont judge the entire art based on women's self defense videos on youtube. Which if u had just one day of any real qualified training, u would know no video of women's self defense is effective on youtube. Not to mension tradtional martial arts are for fighting, not self defense. Guns werent around 2000 yrs ago, and niether were modern knives.

  • @Johnnyventi I just rewatched it to verify my opinion...and she doesn't grab the hand. She pushes the arm away. At :17 it is clear that she didn't grasp the hand.

  • @neutrino78x which makes this move even more dangerous. You cant just push an attack out of the way, especially a knife.

  • see the problem with you mma jocks is that you just learn moves, you don't learn MARTIAL ARTS. these are spiritual disciplines, they are a way of life. When a shoalin priest gets up in the morning and brushes his teeth, he's doing Kung Fu. When he digests food, he is doing Kung Fu. He's always ready because he has studied kung fu all his life. So for someone who is a student of martial arts, this is realistic. for an MMA jock, maybe it wouldn't be.

  • @neutrino78x lol, o stop with the Jackie Chan reference. MMA is kung fu, i am kung fu, you r to. Its all martial arts. Just for a different purpose. Except whats in this video, this is just garbage. I would take thier black belts from them if i were there.

  • @ikcjjtt dude MMA is not martial arts. It is modified WWF wrestling.

  • @neutrino78x WWF wrestling is martial arts as well. its no more fake than kung fu in movies. mma is just a mixture of martial arts.

  • @ikcjjtt lol you're claiming WWF wrestling is like Kung Fu??? no, man, it isn't. MMA is tough jocks who have learned martial arts moves, but not actual martial arts. Real martial arts doesn't teach that you should spend 10 minutes wrestling. In any case, what is your technique for dealing with a knife that doesn't involve blocking? you have to do something to prevent them from stabbing you, or do they teach not to block in mma

  • @neutrino78x WWF is like Movie kung fu- fake. Its still a martial art, just for a different purpose. What is actual martial arts? You dont need philosophies to be a martial artist. You just need to learn the martial, and the art. Jujutsu is a martial art-its all wreslting. You are starting to sound like those MMA fanboys...

    as for the video- any catch, any kick, and any strike. Thats how you deal with knives. It may be an extention of the hand, but it cant be handled the same as one.

  • @ikcjjtt well that's what they're doing here, they block, disable the arm with the knife, then strike back...hence, I'm not sure what your issue is, unless your agenda is just to go to all martial arts videos and criticize them because they are not MMA, which is basically what I do with MMA videos...criticize them because they are not real martial arts lmao...we are antiparticles of each other lmao ;-)

  • @neutrino78x my issue is that a block is not a catch. You can hardly block a punch like that, let along a knife. You will just lose fingers. karate blocks do not work on knives or punches, it just isnt possible. And no, i dont critque videos because they are not MMA, MMA doesnt even deal with weapons. I critque them because they are wrong and dangerous.

  • @ikcjjtt she didn't block it with her fingers, she blocked it with her forearm. I'm not familiar with any martial art that blocks things with the fingers. And I've seen people block things with their forearm in MMA.

  • @neutrino78x Not block, but catch. as in catch the wrists with two hands. Its dodging and catching, not blocking the catch, u cant even do that to a punch, let alone a knive.

  • @ikcjjtt wait, so, you're claiming that it is impossible to block a punch or other strike? I must disagree, I did it often during the 2 years I took TKD...look up any sparring video on youtube and you'll see people blocking strikes. Catching a knife sounds a lot more dangerous, if you miss you might grasp the blade, or let it go past and actually go into you. search for "Blocking (martial arts)" on wikipedia, they have a picture of someone blocking a roundhouse kick.

  • @neutrino78x im not talking about blocking martial art kicks and punches. Im talking about blocking average Joes wild and crazy attacks that look nothing like TKD. Now imagine him holding a knife and swinging just as crazy. Its best to move out of the way, and catch the wrists. You may miss and lose a finger or two, or you may get stabbed, but if u succeed you have control of the knife. If you fail to block it, the same shit happens, but if u do block it he just pulls back and tries again.

  • @ikcjjtt at least with blocking, you're not exposing your hands to being cut, at least not to the same extent. Plus, blocking in martial arts is designed to be used with any kind of strike. You can block an average joe punch the same way as a TKD punch. A block is a block. These techniques have worked for thousands of years, there is no reason they would stop working now...

  • @neutrino78x Its "possible" to block anything, its just not recommended for a knive, cause if you miss u get stabbed, and if u succeed he just pulls the knive back and strikes again. You will get cut by catching it, fail or succeed, but if u catch it, u dont have to give it back.

  • @ikcjjtt traditional TKD, the modern version of which is a formalization of something which has existed for 2000 years, very much recommends blocking a knife, or any kind of strike. Blocking requires much less precision than trying to catch a hand, plus, depending on the kind of block, it either imparts motion to the incoming limb, or directs it away from your body. once you block it, you can always take control of the arm, as seen in this video. Different styles will do it differently.

  • @neutrino78x Thats percisely what im talking about. U CANT catch or control the wrists after a block. its immpossible. Its better to catch the wrists, it u can block it you can catch it. not on the 1st try, but even if u miss at leasts the attack is redirected. There is no "block and catch" Its one or the other.

  • plus at the end when they go faster, you can see that the aggressor doesn't have a chance to do much else lol. people wrongly assume that things are done at the same speed in application that they are in training.

  • @neutrino78x we know that in application you would do this faster but the fact is some1 pulls a knife chances are you will panic and freeze so u want something that is alot simpler than this. plus she uses 2 hands against 1 and this is not the wing chun way. watch emin boztepes take on knife defence its much more realistic.

  • Girl is very beautiful...and the aggressor doesn't have to comply in moves like this, you are forcing them to do what you want.

  • this works ONLY if you are very fast and a timing master, for untrained people it just works better if you block and hit the nose, mouth or ear and RUN.

  • @soparamens

    TL; DR : This works ONLY if you're a NINJA.

  • way to complex it would not work

  • lol when she transitions to the knee check out how she is "locking" the knife hand.

  • my grandama dont need this shell just kick u in ur balls

  • nice technique thanks ,although the guy looks like he belongs to starwars cast lol :P

  • you need some serious speed for this to work in real life

  • Knives are scary weapons to have to defend against. I agree with alot of people that are saying this video is bogus. The problem is there is no real way to effectively defend against a knife. It just comes down to who can kill the fastest, and both parties are going to get seriously hurt if they both know what they are doing. Best knife defense: run.

  • This is an excellent response. If you're being attacked in a training studio with a rubber knife by a friend of yours who gives you plenty of warning and lets you carry out your technique exactly as planned.

  • This is unrealistic technic. If you can parry you dont have time to grab with the other hand... Cross the hands????? Crazy... Cross it and the attacker pull back the knife and the other strike just hit. I think if you parry just hit a big in the face or the right hand. And you can run.

  • You are so right about this being unrealistic.

  • it doesn't work. it's very, very hard to deflect and grab an armed hand, even if you train yourself everyday, imagine what an ordinary woman (or man) can do...

    Better deflect, punch or kick, then try to disarm, but it's still a difficult choice, i will not recommend this if you do not have much experience.

  • Not practical. It's funny how somebody can tell you to just parry and grab the wrist and then blah blah blah..... It doesn't work that way peeps. Maybe after 3 years of practice, you might get lucky and defend against a knife.

  • Save yourself the trouble people, carry a firearm ! Dont try to be Bruce Lee. It takes these guys years to master there art and even its not 100%. If you panic or second guess yourself , your dead....games over! If you want something thats quick and effective against any attacker id suggest a firearm .....LOCK & LOAD!!!

  • If all you have at the time is yourself, well, you can only use what you have. I believe that if you practice your techniques, you will become acustomed to reacting in a way that will save your life. Self preservation is #1. We must defeat our enemies. Invest the time, increase confidence and skill. Not every one will make that committment, but I encourage you all to invest in knowledge of self preservation. Be strong. Live long. LOL.

  • only problem with a firearm is the time it takes to pull it out.I know in Ohio they have to be concealed and that means in one punch or smack delivered to the right spot your K.O.d before you pull your gun out. I do agree though that these techniques are crap for real life application

  • Jesus, if you ever notice someone coming at you with a knife, just RUN of your life. Only place where you should even thinking of use this or any other sort of knife self-defense techniques is when you're stucked, but even then it would take years of training to manage disarming your attacker spite of the power and speed it takes.

  • thats a great idea. and if the attacker is faster than you. You just managed to get yourself stabbed in the back or get your throat cut. Way to think that through.

  • Holy crap. Women, DO NOT DO THIS! Guys, DO NOT DO THIS! Any technique that requires you to do 6 different precision movements while your fight/flight response is going will result in death or serious bodily injury. Look, even "full speed" the guy had to stand still for 3 seconds. What if he jabs with his left? Or jabs at your face? DO THIS: take your purse, block with it against the knife as best you can, and RUN!!! If your hands get stabbed, oh well, better than your torso. Also take Krav Maga.

  • What woman, or even man, who never had been involved in a physical confrontation will practice this enough to be able to pull it off in real life??? Thanks for alerting the women watching this video.

  • that chick better run.

  • This is great advice. If you want to die.

  • lol, I agree. There's no way a girl of that size can stop an attack from a guy of that size. And usually people that want to stab you are not Danny De Vito's size, but more likely like this guy or even bigger. They're stronger and faster and you must have one hell of a strenght and speed , not to mention a world champion knowledge of the technique to save your life in that situation. Only option is being able to never find yourself in that situation...or being a good runner :)

  • unless you just parry the attack with Krav Maga!! Krav Maga does not teach you to twist anything as it takes to much time but to parry and disarm your opponent before he realises what's happening!

  • eheh, even with a great knowledge of the technique an average person would risk too much confronting the guy, thousand times better try to run away before he's coming at you. If you can't because you have a wall behind your back, unless you're a master I am pretty sure you'd forget every lesson you took by the time you see the knife (and sorry but you're pretty much screwed). Your technique might even be good, but you can't really be sure about the outcome, I mean the attacker's reaction.

  • You see, Krav Maga is constructed from your natural instincts, you would not need to actively think as your reaction with some training would be instinctive. Also, I wasn't anticipating someone not getting somewhat injured in the process, I mean a cut here or there doesn't matter to much but a stab wound in the chest does!

  • as usual those knife video are idiots

  • @aquaphone naw the only things this guy did wrong is that there is too many moves to do for one vid and he's not a woman but its not really a mistake it would work you just got to watch the vid and practice it everyday until you look like her

  • @aquaphone genius comment

  • @swanscombekarateCOM Search for "surviving edged weapons" it's corny but really good.

  • I don't think the technique used here is really practical. Unless you're going to train meticulously you're not going to have the dexterity in a state of panic, or elevated stress to execute what's shown here to save yourself from knife stab. Movie choreographed disarming is different than what you should use as far as practical police disarming of some sort. Krav Maga's a good one to use, this Wing Chun, part of Bruce Lee's style. It's just not practical under stressful circumstances.

  • Comment removed

  • what does pivoted mean? it doesn't sound like a present time word. Also, it was a 'she' who was getting stabbed

  • Comment removed

  • ForgottenCavalry you're right about the gun, but if you live in Europe that's not legal, and if you kill your aggressor you may spare your life, but you'll live the rest of it in prison for carrying a weapon with the intent of using it for harming other people

  • well a good self defense class for women i would say is to pick up hapkido, or aikido, learn how to take down ppl with lil muscle involved, and if u dont believe find a hapkido class and try it out, you will be surprised on how effective it is.

  • Women, don't buy into this bullshit. You can't beat a man in a fight when he's attacking you. Just think, he's bigger, stronger, and faster than you by a long shot - plus he's pumped up on adrenaline and rage also. You might hit him, but he's going to hit you back harder. One or two hits from a man will knock most women the fuck out. It's best to carry a cell phone with 911 on speed dial and a can of mace that you know how to use. This shit is just too fake to stomach.

  • Very dangerous technique if not used in conjunction with a strike. If the aggressor is not weakened by a strike or hit in a painful place, there is no way a strong aggressor will comply and play with the defender.

  • @Mngnt true

  • carry your own gun... then you dont have to worry about shit

  • ok anybody wathing this video do not use this in a real life situation. It will not work. You will end up hurt or dead. Just give your attacker what he wants, and if you dont want to then go take real self defense classes. or dont get in the situation in the first place

  • Last thought

    if you done all the slow work learning all geometry of attacks and goemetry of foot work and geometry of body shapes and posture

    Then get a fencer's mask for total realistic trainning

    All when training at full speed you will clearly see why you need to save energy and breath correctly as well as be very relaxed

  • a 5th concept for you seeker's of knife defence

    Try praticing short heavy hand relaxed punch to knife arm while in committed attack

    Play with concepts of elbow breaks which I have found works well with thrust attacks

    Here is a concept Learn about the attack geometry Learn about your foot work geometry Learn about your body shape geometry

    I have found to learn the geometry is to pratice slow.Going fast is easy when you know the geometry.

  • basically here are some more concepts I have discovered with knife work.

    With the uncommitted wild slashing 1) arm down by the waist 2) use subtle small foot work to stay out attacker's bubble space until he commites and plays your game 3)learn to move your body in fliud wave fliud wave like motions 4)SAVE YOUR PECIOUS ENERGY.relax and be aware of your breathing.Keep your heart rate down

  • with the uncommitted knife jab or even uncommitted tricky quatering slashes

    Subtle small footwork is where it is at.

    I use a type of gathering step.Both legs together so you can easily move in all directions.

    I have also found it is best simply to walk or stand in position and location that make it very hard for the attacker to attack you

    Other concepts to think about against knife

    Learn to save your energy.Keep you heart rate down and learn to breath calmly

  • To take the fact that women often are underpowered against a man, to teach them how to defend themselfs against an attack is very futile. however, if they focus more to teach how to prepare a night on the town and how to avoid hostile confrontation, the women would stand a much better chance. And to tech defence against a knife is something that takes great talent and dedication to even stand a reasonable chance to use in real life efficiently. For most it's a waste of time.

  • To many moves to complicated and after it all? The attacker never even lost the knife. This is poorly done.

  • verry verry bad , never lift your leg from the ground. if he push her forward or put his weight on her she will fall back

  • these guys give kung fu a bad name. In proper kung fu you are taught not to block a knife attack with your hand, but try to use other weapons or improvise e.g. use a coat to cover the blade then strike as well as ching na (lock). This guy is trying to apply a wing chun move for blocking a punch to a knife shows how not an expert he is.

  • id say that would work on a drunk... not to say that wouldn't work just saying you would have to be seriously quick and lets not for get the guy has a second hand , it would have to be the PERFECT situation ...

  • they expect me to believe that little asian chick can beat that huge guy with a knife, find it unlikely

  • ye thats what i was thinking..im pretty small too..what if a 6'5'' well built guy tried attacking me? i'd be done for XD

  • funny guy XD

  • To much kung fu after loking wrist just hit had with hand palm or sritke with elbow is wrist.Doing fancy things againts

    knife = sure death right?!!

  • too many moves

  • unrealistic!

  • thats bullshit,aint full speed and he didnt do anything with his other hand,paper ninjas

  • scary never love to b n such position

  • "You parry....then get your arm cut....and then, you probably bleed to death... unless you make it to the hospital in time..." (not what he said, but more realistic, I'd think)

  • Exactly. The attacker just pulls the blade back, slicing your hands and wrists, then slashes/stabs again, making mincemeat of you as you quickly bleed out.

  • good move I guess but the guy would have plenty of time to get a left hook in

  • I think that self defense works best when you have been doing it for years and it becomes second nature.

  • This kind of twisting Techniques are useless in actual situation. Did you ever stand against with person who got the knife? You can't even move one steps...

  • I hope that girl doesn't actually try this tactic in real life if she's ever attacked with a knife. When she grabs his wrist both of his legs and the other arm are still free; if he's willing to stab her don't you think he'd be willing to punch, kick, or head-butt her too? Let's see her lock up his wrist while receiving a savage beat down in the process...

  • as someone here said practice means perfection. i think the best is a combo of any kind of martial arts and specific self defense classes.

  • thanks so much! I have friends in opposing gangs, and let's just say there's always a good chance I'll get stuck in the middle!

  • Ok please understand that these "instructional" videos are for entertainment purposes only. The people demonstrating them clearly do not understand what they are trying to teach, and you simply cannot learn martial arts from a video on youtube.

  • in a real situation you cant do it like .. oh first you gonne do that or this.. damm thats why is hate this selfdefence nonses

  • poor girl she has no idea =(

  • i would think that it would too hard to remember all that, if you scared

  • like this no one attack with a knife. best technique is to run run run ... .

    oh ok stuntman fight like that

  • Oh yes, the little girl will twist this big dopes wrist that easy and do all that without getting stabbed or beaten down. How does this crap help women, STUPID, get them killed more like it.

  • Completely agreed. Krav Maga is what women should take. Not this B.S. I'm sorry, But you wouldn't be able to land that block. He would've stabbed you already. Krav Maga is based on your reflexes.

  • Its poor training and this type of self defence will only get someone hurt. I have not met a women yet that can twist my wrist like that, if they are properly trained you would not this is for someone very advanced. I have seen Krav Maga and relfex or not, it is not this simple or easy, people learning this will get hurt or killed.

  • I agree. But what I'm saying is, Krav is based on your reflexes, so it makes it slightly easier to block. Look up "Human Weapon krav maga 360 defense" and you'll see what I mean. This training wouldn't work in real life. That block is unnatural, and my the time the girl grabs the guy's wrist, in real life, the guy won't just stand still so you can grab his wrist. He would have already attacked again and killed her. krav maga is the way to go. This training is what gets people hurt.

  • Every martial art, fighting style or defensive style is base on relfex. Krav Mega has taken what it likes and put it together as an art and say it is reality fight, which has some reality.

    I have been to a seminar in West LA, I have seen it in action, it is not impressive to me, one of the instructors said anyone here want to try to choke me, if it was a guy few of us would have love to but we did not want to humiliate her, she was easy pickings, it was not great but it was better than this.

  • You can't judge a whole SDS by one seminar. If the people did not pull off the moves effectively, either they were showing the moves for demo purposes, or that's not real krav. Krav is street lethal. I know a good bit about it's history, but since I'm confined to only 500 characters, I'll have to Send you a message. I know from my training experience that it will work on the streets, and even if you react with string counterattacks, it will scare the hell out of the attacker.

  • Like I said, I have seen the demo in person, I have seen it on fight quest and it is not impressive, just because you are sold on it and have a different experience or perhaps you are a beginner and think it is all that. Noting original in Krav Mega, nothing it is assembly of other styles and techniques, and if you learned any form of self defence which most martial arts are, it would scare the hell out of people also and how you react and your reactions to it.

  • I don't want to argue much more with you. You are entitled to your own opinion, but I have a question. Are you saying that seeing it on fight quest is the equivalent of seeing it in person or actually taking it yourself? Anyways, Peace :)

  • Is Krav Maga some kind of technique?

  • Krav Maga is a reality self-defense system. It was used during WWII to defend the Jews from nazi gangs, and has been used by law enforcement, SWAT, and the IDF (Israeli Defense force). I'm 12 years old, and I take it. I think it's the best thing out there for Self-defense. If you want to learn more about it, on my channel, I have favorited a lot of krav videos and I have a whole playlist based on it. Krav maga is the real-deal IMO, check it out! :) Be sure to tell me what you think of it.

  • Thank you my friend..i will check your channel for further information and if needed i will message you.

  • That lock can work if done with proper technique/movement/balance displacement... which she does none of. Japanese would call it Kote Gaeshi, it is pretty common and can be effective in the right situation. As for KM, if it's based purely on reflexes then it's very flawed... luckily it's actually not based on reflexes alone, but movement and balance like any other art/system.

  • There are too many problems to list vs. all the possible scenarios. Her size makes the technique impractical and real-time is too difficult to time for the average trained student and some teachers. It doesn't matter what style of MA you use, because everyone doing knife training gets cut.

  • bull shit, the guy has two hands, he may have another knive or he can hit her with the left one

  • thats a big IF

    and it hapens faster than they show it

  • way too circuitous, better ways of parrying than this. in a real knife fight take the "real speed" and multiply it by 3. inpractical.

  • lets c him properly try n stab her this time n c if it works

  • id shoot the fucker

  • nice technique, but i myself would have finished it with a jiu-jitsu wristlock at the point were she twists the wrist back

  • I agree there, Krav Maga is a military art of defending against weapons deadly to you in close combat and applys even drastic measures to the opponent so he is 100% unable to attack you again.

    But still, you have to take in mind that this is a "Female" version of self defence :)

  • Krav Maga is more effective, we train with real knives in real time. Obviously moves have to be broken down and slowed down to learn, but Krav Maga is deffinateky more effective. sorry :-(

  • i know, i myself prefer the krav maga technique where you grab your opponents knife hand with both hands and jump your lower torso back, safer if the stab is to quick. however, if you have your back pressed against a wall that wouldnt be an option, then this technique would be more suitable in my opinion.

  • umm dude, what the freaxx is she gonna di when he has 2 knives?

    uhh? run!

    im in karate,and i totaly would run for it xDDD

  • Its a shame most people hold knives like that. If they were to hold it backwards with the blade facing away, flush with the forearm, the amount of movements of attack would greatly increase. Not to mention you could block and punch as well.

  • Wow, I watched a couple videos WWII of your before I decided to reply to your comment. Your absolutly in no way able to speak for this type of video, or situation you little shit. I don't either, which is why I don't embarrass myself by posting such a stupif fucking comment. "wouldn't work in a real situation" you say, cos', you know, you get into knife fights down there in the fuckin' goonies all the time you fuckin' hick-shit red-neck. "SHOOTIN' MY BB GUN" Watch his videos, you'll agree.
