Yes fly, like flying roundhouse, flying hook and heel, flying guillotine to the neck, or ashi barai and make him fly. Just some honest choices in stead of running and leaving your girfriend and young kids behind. Oh yea budoyoga's flying deathgrip to the throat.
It's nice to see the truth taught by a REAL martial artist. I taught the same thing to my students. Run away and get a door between you and a knife attacker. Employ a weapon against them, (gun, stick, chair) if you cannot get away. A knife is devastating, and fancy blocks against even a semi skilled knife wielder is problematic. About the best thing you can do (if you can do it) is grab the knife attackers arm and control the blade while you do something devastating to disable the attacker.
@SmokeRingsPipeDreams 2 guys who worked with me at a transporter here in Brazil were working the night shift when the got into a fight over a droped box. The small, flexible kitchen knives we used at dinner, was just in this guys hand (one of the guys) and he was just fighting with it in his hand, not necissarily stabbing, or slashing. He ended up hitting the other guy in his neck, making an inch wide hole in his juggular vein. The guy was down in 2 seconds, dead in 5 minutes. With a tiny knife.
@Felocoventura Yup, it sure doesn't take much does it? We had a local drunk woman arguing with her husband grab a steak knife and stab him in the leg with it. (hit his femoral artery) He was dead as a door nail before the ambulance arrived. I've carried defensive knives and trained with them and hand to hand combat my whole life and knives still scare the crap out of me.
hold on, you spouted some bull shit, tkd, karate, judo and akido all teach self defence. every martial arts teaches self defense they just come in varying degrees of focus. Krav maga concentrates more on direct methods of self defense compared to say karate. but it doesnt mean that karate is useless for self defense on the street.
He clearly said at min 1:36, "if your're going to do anything that's what your going to do" meaning in absence of anything else to save yourself. But if you can, preferably run, hide or fly (figuritively speaking of course). In other words, if are able to get away run unless danger or harm is unavoidable, then try to defend yoursel. However, this particular video does not portray nor give us any lesson against a knife attack. I guess we need to look elsewhere.
This video was part of a series put out by Paul Vunak by Panther Videos back in the 90's. Each tape was alot longer. This was only a PORTION of one of the tape in the series.
this is stupid. peoples fighting against knife only when they CANNOT run, hide or fly. so this guy just sugest to do nothing and let yourself get killed. to do something is better than to do nothing, when you CANNOT run, hide or fly. so this guy basically just saying "fly, you're dead anyway". very funny. this is most shity "defence" I've ever seen.
actually you didnt understanding anything, he was saying the exact opposite!. he said in knife situations you MUST run, hide or fly, IF you cannot run fly or hide then you MUST defend yourself by using your arms to block knife attacks because it is better to have your arms cut then your neck cut!
The best advice I have seen here so far. Good on you, Paul. The best and only defense against knife attack, unless u have one or any other weapon, is to RUN AWAY. What makes me sick about those "experts" that they let people to believe that one can engage someone with knife with bare hands. NEVER ATTEMPT TO DO THIS. DEADLY.
My first response to a knife encounter would be try to flee or run. There's no shame in that.. If not my response depends on his actions ie is he close or moving around jabbing at me. How you train is how you react.
In a close confrontation a knife can be more effective than a gun and I have watched a few videos on "knife defense" and most of the videos are BS and impractical, scripted and choreographed. LIke Paul mentions in the video, it can take one decent cut and your body goes into shock and with blood loss there's a good possibility of passing out.
@mistawu66 No. You're a dick because you called me an idiot when it wasn't even appropriate. I can see if I insulted you or acted in a manner that warrented it. I didn't. So I won't waste any more time dealing with a loser who thinks he understands SD because he took a couple of classes.
@mistawu66 As far as me being an MMA tough guy .. you'd be wrong again. I've been involved in SD for over 20+ years. Way before krav maga came to the states in the form of Tae Bo with an attitude. I like KM as it promotes direct method solutions for handling violence, but its more marketing than it is hardcore. Its not even like the KM that they teach the Mossad. Its watered down and commercialized in America.
So before you decide to get all self righteous, don't.
@mistawu66 See ... now you're just a dick. I never claimed that KM was traditional. I don't advocate BJJ as SD, and if that's what you got from my comment then you're stupid. Lear to read what's on the page and stop beating your chest and you might not make an ass out of yourself next time, tough guy.
And FYI, the Gracies claim to teach all the things you say that they don't. I know its bullshit, but they still make a living passing that shit off as legit.
@mistawu66 Then you'd be laughing at Paul and a host of other supposed SD experts. SO much for you thinking he's legit, huh? Lots of people have been doing what Krav Maga claims to decades before it ever came stateside. Its nothing new. Its just new to people who rely on advertisements to educate them as to what is available and out there. Believe me, PFS teach BJJ.
So you should be feeling quite indifferent right about now.
@mistawu66 Like I said, Vunak is good at what he does, but because he's got a following & borrowed legitimacy from the fact that he's worked with special forces, some make him seem like he could get on the mat with anyone who isn't doing what he's doing & come out the better man, which isn't true.There are better men who aren't as published or advertised. And that's the problem: So many young guys think that in order to be legit, you have to have youtube clips & full page ads.
@mistawu66 My issue with Vunak is that he puts forth most of Inosanto's stuff as if he's revolutionized a new method by paring it down. Inosanto's fine with it because Dan is traditional, but still it isn't some special forces commando style that Vunak would have you believe.
That's my point. Vunak teaches trapping, but says that trapping doesn't work?!? He teaches BJJ, but the Gracies say it isn't for self defense!?! His method of knife work is dueling, which is glorified sparring!
@mistawu66 Also, what criteria are you basing off what is "legit"?
A lot of dojo owners are now teaching BJJ as a form of self defense DESPITE the Gracies themselves stating that GJJ or even BJJ is not well suited for self defense and will get you killed. Its a disclaimer on their properties and products. There are tons of effective methods. Vunak is just a brand with special forces credentials, not a standard. He has a following and that in itself attracts people looking for "badass".
@mistawu66 Umm .. no he's not. He's definitely on the right track with a lot of his stuff, but there are traditionalist out there that would throw this man a beating. Too many people believe the hype because its delivered with attitude. Vunak is good at what he does. Is he the best or even close to it? No.
Movement is movement. You're not going to become some super street fighter because a guy has pared down Filipino methods into dirty fighting coupled with hubud and chi sao drills.
@mistawu66 Paul trained for about 6 years before claiming that he was some master of his own style. Do some research. Inosanto was the bulk of his training and Vunak was creating PFS like 5 or 6 years after that short time. Then he threw some credentials out there about Special Forces. Anyone who has a student who is in SF can claim that they've taught the special forces.
Vunak, like most guys selling something, has some good things to say. On ocassion, he's got great things to say.
@asswuppin he had 4 years contract with navy seals,he was teaching them his sistem and creating instructors in seals that can later pass on knowlege,so saying that he had some student once who was in navy seals and becouse of that he claim he trained them but he actualy didnt is false statment,and u can wach some real navy seals instructors videos on youtube and they do exactly same thing this guy does
@obrad79 Dude, I don't care if he was a SEAL. Its a selling point. I know some of Vunak's students. I've seen Vunak work. Don't believe the hype. He's not even as good as Eric Knauss and he knows it. Before there ever was a Dog Brothers they used to go at it full contact with no pads. Guess who used to sit out and just watch???? He's good ... better than a lot of the crap that's out there, but he's benefited more from SEAL stories than from a reputation earned from showing and proving.
the people who don't like this vid are those poor fools who do complicated drills and are under the belief that they can defend against a knife. this is a dose of reality
@DamnJap45 STFU! Find me a fucking JAP that fights anywhere outside of Japan that has won a championship in any fighting sport! U can probably only name a couple and most of those would be grapplers. Fucking JAPS have glass jaws mofo. One punch in the face and a mutha fucking JAP will kiss the floor! So STFU. And Mas Oyama was a fucking con man. Selling fake ass Karate where only body punches were allowed so his JAP disciples wouldn't get knocked the fuck out.
next time, refrain from using such racist language. JAP this JAP that. You sound so damn ignorant and foolish when you do stuff like that. You would sound no different if you said something like "nigger" or "chink". Oh, and take the "o" out of "osensei". You deserve no respect.
@ damnjap45 okay i dont know who in hell you think ur talking to you fat ass mother fucker but why dont you go gay up ur dog or somthing go the fuck away
@DamnJap45 You don't know that. You're using suppositions to make a point. Kickboxers are not self defense practitioners. And when MMA fans get their panties all tied up in a bunch when they're reminded of that, all one has to do is remind them that MMA's finest have been in street fights and many of them have been killed or hospitalized.
@saltydog78 THe drum is to establish/reinforce rythm, timing. Alot of training is done with the concept of "beats". Interesting handle BTW, saltydog...
Come on Paul Vunak I call you on your fucking bullshit come to Hokkaido and challenge me you goddamn Americunt Bruce Lee cock sucking drumb beating filipino kali bitch! Been training in combat jiujitsu, ninjutsu, and karate for over 10 years now so bring it the fuck on motherfucker. I hereby shit on everything you say and teach and piss right in your face so come fight me big man and prove just how bad and skilled you are you dick asshole know it all. Scared? Pussy!
@mikki9898 Haha Vunak challenge me to a knife fight and I guarantee I'll gut you like a fish motherfucker! Fucking Bruce Lee nuthugger with all of his chink kung fu pussy ass ballerina bullshit! Mas Oyama or Mashiako Kimura Lyoto Machida etc. would murder Vunak, Lee, Inosanto, any of those guys in a fight who are not only martial artists but real fighters who have real fights as proof and evidence they're for real. Go back to watching your hollywood actor movies bitches! Japanese jiujitsu FTW!
@DamnJap45 The only one not "for real" here is you! Sitting behind your safe computer typing about like you're the expert on shit you've likely never experienced or seen before in your life! Have you ever been in a knife fight, had to defend yourself from a knife attack, or even been in a real fight that didn't involve a keyboard and screen? Probably not or else you'd be advocating doing all you can to avoid a knife fight in the first place man. Now go back to your dojo and learn something!
its not true that if you get cut you will pass out.... and the idea of the first defens that u sad it worng... is to get close that his hand touch your hand not the knife
It's sounds realistic but remember as experienced as he is he doesn't know every defensive tactic when it comes to knife defence and therefore is not qualified to state "there is no knife defence", even if he is qualified to say that, he still doesn't go beyond the "run, hide or fly" tactic and thats a negative thing because what if theres no way out? I'd rather have died defending myself with the chance of survival rather than doing nothing!
@Whyisthat101 The rest of this video teaches you what to do in case you couldn't run, hide or fly :-). The point he's trying to make is that you have to avoid fighting an armed opponent at any cost cause the risk is too high.
@rach1780 In other words how to be a pussy lol! If Paul Vunak was the real deal he wouldn't be scared to fight a man with or without weapons instead of run like a bitch just because a motherfucker pulls out a knife or some shit. Like I said Mr. Vunak, learn some goddamn jiujitsu and disarming techniqes!
@Whyisthat101 I don't believe in knife defense, I believe in knife fighting. It's a totally different attitude. Of course it's best to try and escape. However, if escape is not possible then I need to have the means at my disposal to kill the SOB. I'm gonna kill the mofo anyway I can. They problem in our culture however, is that most honest citizens walk around unarmed. We've gone from the old west and the OK Coral to effeminate pussies!
The beauty of truth is that each path has its own song, and if you listen closely you will find where you belong. So climb your own path true and strong, but respect all other truths for your way for them could be wrong." - Dan Inosanto
Some wise words from a very wise man you should heed DamnJap45 for I can tell by your many comments on several videos you are just a young kid acting a fool who is very much in need of some wisdom from the older and wiser.
We are all climbing different paths through the mountain of life, and we have all experienced much hardship and strife. There are many paths through the mountain of life, and some climbs can be felt like the point of a knife. Some paths are short and others are long, who can say which path is right or wrong?
Lol I've been studying ninjutsu for 10 years now and I can tell just by watching his technique and listening to what the guy knows I'd smoke the motherfucker in a matter of seconds. Sure all that headbutt, knee, and elbow shit works but he'd never get inside close enough to use any of that shit with me before he got knocked the fuck out or taken down and bone broken or choked out! Paul Vunak= just another Bruce Lee nuthugger, hell even Dan Inosanto's stuff is better than this lol.
@DamnJap45 there is actually a lot of nonsense in that statement. for one....you would have to get in the ' headbutt, elbow and knee ' range to do 3 of your 4 ' moves ' on vunak. i would love to see that...! Your ignorance of knowledge is fairly extreme...you'll grow up...
This Vunak cunt is such a dumbass just because you get cut on the arm doesn't mean you pass out. I mean goddamn people have cut their own fucking arm off before to save themselves when they've been trapped and plenty of people have been in knife fights or in the middle of disarming an attacker and gotten cut up like hell yet they still survived and even won the fight then got sewed up and repaired later. Fucking bullshit go learn some jiujitsu Vunak!
You mean hes wrong? Or you mean the others are wrong?
If you mean Vunak hes a old navy seal and very down to earth, now with down to earth I mean he shows the simplest techniques, the basics that the common man can actually do. Most others are techniques you have to drill in for months and years.
Thats what I like with Vunak its basic self defence.
i have heard of successful unarmed knife defense stries, such as brandon lee when a guy broke in with a knife, he followed the knife and was able to break the guys wrist. maybe its because its bruce lee's son though.
Truly a waste of some good meat. I wonder what they did with that meat. As far as flying I was talking to a friend he told he got into a fight, and got stabbed. He then tried to run but got stabbed in the back
Best self-defense? Avoid going around idiots in the first place. If you're in a bad neighborhood, either get your coke dealer to meet you at the mall or just be confident and nonchalant; don't try to be threatening and act like a hard ass, which makes it likely you'll be confronted. But don't act like a scared tourist, erm... victim, either.
@PBcRaZiE Running away is not sollution.If he keep chasing U?than.Best is fight back but with very smart way.Use everything that U have to distract his attention and loss his balance and than strike with one pinpoint punch or kick.Best kick against knife is stop kick in thai boxing.
When Paul sliced the meat, the strike was long and forceful. Hence the cut was both deep and lethal. During the demonstration with the marker, there were times when the guy was like jabbing with the marker which would have been less lethal. At that point I would have grabbed and used hapkido techniques. The defender does not seem to know what he is doing.
Well this is just a demo and not true-to-life anyway. I agree though, in reality I would have ran the minute I saw the knife.
The best alternative when confronted with a knife is to either run or look for something to pick up and use as a weapon to help defend against the blade, extend your striking range to get you out of reach of the knife, or to throw at him to buy a second or two of time or cause him to drop the knife. However there are times when you will have no choice but to defend yourself with your bare hands in which case breaking the arm or grabbing the knife arm and striking his vitals would be best.
That's the whole reason Jujutsu came about and evolved among the Samurai in Japan was to provide a way for an unarmed man to disarm an armed man who is wearing armor where most strikes would be ineffective. So nobody is gonna make me believe that bare hands are totally useless against a knife when martial arts have been evolving for centuries to deal with shit like that. Not to mention the fact most thugs aren't skilled fighters nor do they wear armor to protect them.
@TheBatchGuy fearfactor22 is right, either spelling is acceptable. Actually there are several other spellings in English that are acceptable. But I don't want to drag this into a Nihonnggo language discussion.
@TheBatchGuy actually it is spelled jujutsu. jiu jitsu is strictly for brazilian cuz the gracies wanted to put a "spin" on it so they could try and make modified judo up to look like their own creation.
Defanging the snake actually means fleecing idiots into coming into your dojo or whatever the fuck you call it to pay you money to get sent to the morgue in a street fight.
@skunkapotamus LOL wait you're calling me an idiot with your idiotic statement? You're talking shit about a guy that can kill you three times over before you hit the ground.
Ok, so his knife self-defense advice consists in "run or hide".... well it takes a real master to tell you that....... I could ask a five year old baby.....
@diman75 i believe its the filipino connection to the jkd system. they like to bang the drums????? hes bloody nuts but can fight like a wolverine............
The drums are kind of strange ...but you have to understand this is a Filipino stick and knife fighting style. They practice their fighting skill to the rythm of the drums...the faster the drums beat the faster the combataints move and strike at each other.
When someone pulls out a knife and you don't have one or your not wearing anything that will stop the knife from cutting you. He knows and I know that it doesn't matter how good of i fighter you think you are, your going to get cut and it could end up bad just like he said.You won't have long before you bleed out to wear you become light head or pass out.That's why he tells people to run or hide from a knife attacker if you can.
I was stabbed in my chest (sneak attack thought it was a punch) half an inch from my heart I tore off the lip and cheek of my attacker, he ran for his life I got dizzy and hot sat down took off my jacket only to discover I was covered in blood, most of the time you do not know you have been stabbed.
This is not about knife defence it's more about duelling.
besides its not good to get the inside of your arms cut Veins arteries tendons? you get stabbed a few times it wakes you up to realities.
Who ever is reading comments left by chrismoranjkd. This is a fake account created by somebody impersonating me on youtube. Right now we are currently investigating this account.
i am master chris moran, highest ranking instructor on the east coast under paul. i am his go to guy in nyc. if you want real training like paul gives but dont want to travel to california, i can give you the same level of training in nyc. contact me for rates.
Yeah, if somebody is coming at you with a knife, best thing to do is get away if you can. If you can't, at least pick up a chair or something to block the knife with, don't block with your arms except as a last ditch attempt---
Just curious, I've been cut before, but never stabbed in the body. If yours was a body stab, and I'm not asking if it hurt, because it always hurts, but what went through your mind? My cut was to the arm, and I stayed focused on disarming, which I did, then I simply finished the fight. Yours sounds worse than what I got. Where were you cut, what went through your mind, how did you react and survive? As I said before, I'm just curious in case it ever happens to me.
@SenorCali depends on how deep cut is and where it is,i hade i little cut on wrist by broken bottle my friend cuted me by accident and it looked realy nasty and i can say i felt little shaking in my knees but i didnt pass out,but deep cut who knows,but i saw video of kid jumping with bike in some canal and get horrible cut on upper tigh all the way to the bone and his leg get wide open and he was scared but didnt get in to shock instanly,but maybe he did after 20 seconds,video is not so long

@mistawu66 My issue with Vunak is that he puts forth most of Inosanto's stuff as if he's revolutionized a new method by paring it down. Inosanto's fine with it because Dan is traditional, but still it isn't some special forces commando style that Vunak would have you believe.
That's my point. Vunak teaches trapping, but says that trapping doesn't work?!? He teaches BJJ, but the Gracies say it isn't for self defense!?! His method of knife work is dueling, which is glorified sparring!
asswuppin 9 months ago
@mistawu66 Also, what criteria are you basing off what is "legit"?
A lot of dojo owners are now teaching BJJ as a form of self defense DESPITE the Gracies themselves stating that GJJ or even BJJ is not well suited for self defense and will get you killed. Its a disclaimer on their properties and products. There are tons of effective methods. Vunak is just a brand with special forces credentials, not a standard. He has a following and that in itself attracts people looking for "badass".
asswuppin 9 months ago
@mistawu66 Umm .. no he's not. He's definitely on the right track with a lot of his stuff, but there are traditionalist out there that would throw this man a beating. Too many people believe the hype because its delivered with attitude. Vunak is good at what he does. Is he the best or even close to it? No.
Movement is movement. You're not going to become some super street fighter because a guy has pared down Filipino methods into dirty fighting coupled with hubud and chi sao drills.
asswuppin 9 months ago
@mistawu66 Paul trained for about 6 years before claiming that he was some master of his own style. Do some research. Inosanto was the bulk of his training and Vunak was creating PFS like 5 or 6 years after that short time. Then he threw some credentials out there about Special Forces. Anyone who has a student who is in SF can claim that they've taught the special forces.
Vunak, like most guys selling something, has some good things to say. On ocassion, he's got great things to say.

Before there ever was a Dog Brothers they used to go at it full contact with no pads. Guess who used to sit out and just watch???? He's good ... better than a lot of the crap that's out there, but he's benefited more from SEAL stories than from a reputation earned from showing and proving.

It's sounds realistic but remember as experienced as he is he doesn't know every defensive tactic when it comes to knife defence and therefore is not qualified to state "there is no knife defence", even if he is qualified to say that, he still doesn't go beyond the "run, hide or fly" tactic and thats a negative thing because what if theres no way out? I'd rather have died defending myself with the chance of survival rather than doing nothing!

Best self-defense? Avoid going around idiots in the first place. If you're in a bad neighborhood, either get your coke dealer to meet you at the mall or just be confident and nonchalant; don't try to be threatening and act like a hard ass, which makes it likely you'll be confronted. But don't act like a scared tourist, erm... victim, either.

When Paul sliced the meat, the strike was long and forceful. Hence the cut was both deep and lethal. During the demonstration with the marker, there were times when the guy was like jabbing with the marker which would have been less lethal. At that point I would have grabbed and used hapkido techniques. The defender does not seem to know what he is doing.
Well this is just a demo and not true-to-life anyway. I agree though, in reality I would have ran the minute I saw the knife.
efelicianojr 1 year ago
The best alternative when confronted with a knife is to either run or look for something to pick up and use as a weapon to help defend against the blade, extend your striking range to get you out of reach of the knife, or to throw at him to buy a second or two of time or cause him to drop the knife. However there are times when you will have no choice but to defend yourself with your bare hands in which case breaking the arm or grabbing the knife arm and striking his vitals would be best.
fearfactor22 1 year ago
That's the whole reason Jujutsu came about and evolved among the Samurai in Japan was to provide a way for an unarmed man to disarm an armed man who is wearing armor where most strikes would be ineffective. So nobody is gonna make me believe that bare hands are totally useless against a knife when martial arts have been evolving for centuries to deal with shit like that. Not to mention the fact most thugs aren't skilled fighters nor do they wear armor to protect them.

When someone pulls out a knife and you don't have one or your not wearing anything that will stop the knife from cutting you. He knows and I know that it doesn't matter how good of i fighter you think you are, your going to get cut and it could end up bad just like he said.You won't have long before you bleed out to wear you become light head or pass out.That's why he tells people to run or hide from a knife attacker if you can.

This is not about knife defence it's more about duelling.

I think Vunak's point is valid: you don't want to get cut.
Would you go into instant shock if you did? Who knows - bodies are different. If you get cut you obviously deal with the best you can.
I think it is better to be a little too scared of getting cut than not scared enough, though.
Also, 90% of the knife "moves" taught in martial arts schools are suicudal.

Just curious, I've been cut before, but never stabbed in the body. If yours was a body stab, and I'm not asking if it hurt, because it always hurts, but what went through your mind? My cut was to the arm, and I stayed focused on disarming, which I did, then I simply finished the fight. Yours sounds worse than what I got. Where were you cut, what went through your mind, how did you react and survive? As I said before, I'm just curious in case it ever happens to me.
Peace.
