@Helicondrummer None taken :) I see what you mean, but we always tyell our students to "expect to get cut" . now ask yourself this, where i may have been cut would it have been fatal? Or severely damaging? We train as realistically possible and the person attacking with the knife was going full force. There is no technique here for sure, we go based on our natural flinch response to minimize damage but maximize entry. Does that make sense?
Basically, We have to remember in reality, the knife is dynamic. All techniques work from all styles in my opinion when the knife is used systematically. But i suggest( if you haven't yet) if you do train in a system or martial art, to test what u consider an effective technique, and have the attacker just go randomly apeshit on you, you know "prison-shanking-style" cuz in reality that's how guys attack)
@SenshidoITL Oh and try it with a marker or a training knife with paint to see where oyu got cut. Tell your training partner to really try to " kill" you, see how it works for you !
@valgorlin Interesting you say that. Kali also borrows their techniques from other arts as well. When Senshido was created, Kali was the one of the few arts that Richard Dimitri never adopted into the system. But doesn't mean elements form Kali aren't similar to other arts. And remember, reality based defense is meant to take what works and discard what doesn't, which can vary for each individual. Fighting/self defense I believe shouldn't be based on specialities, am I right?
@SenshidoITL . I only say this because people look too much for techniques rather than training methods. we all have two arms and two legs. Systems will collide, but when someone tries to call a move "revolutionary" it usually isnt THE TRAINING AND FOCUS OF THE ART IS. there are few areas that havnt been explored to great depth and it seems the ground was the last place to make a big leap besieds reality based senario training.
@valgorlin totally agree. It is about the training methods over techniques. I actually don't believe in techniques or "moves". Fighting/defense is holistic and specializing causes more problems than fixing in my opinion. And it's true what you say about the ground as well. The Shredder isn't necessarily revolutionary, acutally maybe the opposite it allows us to devolve our trianing "moves" to somethign much more simpler and easier to apply for realistic scenarios
Wing Chun was here!
(But I am very impressed all the same.)

no offense intended, but the knife defense here seems infective. a few of the scenes here that use the knife, the defender would have been cut
