Defending an Attack With a Knife : How to Block to Disarm Attacker With Knife

[TurfBoy100]

get wrist control then pull out your gun

[jonahcarlo]

i did the x block back in the high school days... my wrist got cut about 1inch deep when the attacker pulled back the knife... i ran so fast powered by adrenaline... almost died.

[mynameisman66]

0:53 you can hear the kid's arm cracking LOL

[8048838]

LOL do that and your most likely to lay on the floor whyle going back.

Just get the damn knife out of your body's line and kick his balls.

Keep in mind that your hand WILL HAVE A SMALL CUT, unless you use gloves.

Also, he has some fist movement and still can cut your hand/arm if its a double edged knife.

[teensouldier]

ouch i heard a crack :O

[JaySooz508]

i like how he says takes the knife is pretends to start cutting the guy then he's like "or you can throw it away, if you dont wanna do any damage"....if someone pulls a knife or a gun on me its definitely the end of one of our lives

[placenciaify]

Kay Kay Kay

[David111132]

WOW at 0:55 you can hear something crack as he puts the shoulder down!! LMAOO

[Dblackwolfe]

Kay

[BlazeDragon133]

and whats happens when that happens, you are alone AND theres one with a knife right behind you?! No seriously i need an answer..

[theofkills]

what if its a sword i mean its long if u try to "x block that and its 2 long and he puts it right throw u am go to a k nife fight now with my friends if someone had a sword are a knife and it didet work if he x blocked it am sue uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

[tredub91]

that x block thing wont work. The instructor knows that nick will lunge. the instructor is then off balance if he does the jump back. all nick, or the guy holding the knife has to do is knee him in the face and stab him. it wont work.

[flipmandem87]

im not a bad person but if a guy tried to use a knife to attack me, once the knife is in my possession, i would stab him a few times and feel no remorse!

[KimboSliceROCKS1223]

thumbs up if u heard his bones crack at 0:55

[hawkermana]

@KimboSliceROCKS1223 ye i did hear the cracks lol WTF

[phuong6936]

wanna kill someone fast??? when he try to thrust forward, use the X-block, and do the wrist lock, disarm his knife, take it from him, and cut his brachial artery!!!! Make him bleed to death. Learn this from the marine corp. Once you cut him deep in the brachial artery, the cut will also cut his tendon and ligament. Therefore, he can't move that arm!!

[Tajak777]

just remember the first rule about knife fighting or disarming a knife is you are going to get cut, no doubt about it - maybe someone has done this w/o getting cut but its not likely - you have to realize you probably will get cut maybe even several times, and prepare mentally for it and to make sure that if it does happen it's not in a vital area. Still best thing to do is avoid confrontation if possible

[BNet4ever]

The question is, what happens to your arm, shen he just pulls the knife back?

[Cab0408]

The best advice he gave was to "hollow out" by shooting your hips back while checking the stab. The follow up attack was not so good. I would still try to get outside position on the knife arm. As far as the arrest and control position he used, that's great, if you want the suspect to possibly asphixiate.

[outspokenreflex]

yeshua's ryu? god's karate? shouldn't jesus be teaching us.

[blacklimeosiris13]

Oh sorry in my previous comment I meant if he comes in with his right hand.

[blacklimeosiris13]

You will die if you do this. You need to look him in the eye, watch his eyes you need to think like him. If he comes in like that it's easy. Say he comes at you with his left hand you block his wrist with your left arm and drag your right arm as far back ass possible. When your blocking his fist attempt to grab it and pull his arm out as far as possible. With your right hand that you dragged back you bend it almost 45 degrees and snap him right in the neck. He will fall from shock right away. T

[KravMagaKitchener]

you would definitely have to hope that the attacker was a severely arthritic person, because that knife is going to travel much faster than your body, and it will probably come as a surprise to you. If it wasn't a surprise, you kinda are just asking for it if you approach someone with a knife, or let them get that cloes to you

[ionforever1]

You have got to cry like a little bitch so the attacker will be disgusted and leave the scenery...

[FoSbaKiaS]

my scarf behalf of expert village!

:P

[newsearching]

Looks more like a way to arrest someone than to defend yourself. All the stuff on the ground isn't necessary since the knife was no longer a threat.

[afromnkydude]

well this is a way to defend a knife stab, and it seems pretty effective if you roll over the tricep, while charlie horsing...

[Micahel213]

@afromnkydude

you get sliced and diced this way. go look for Paul Vunak's knife vids.

only if you developed the same sensitivity and skill as a trained escrimador you might be able to block a knife attack. otherwise look for different options.

[CharizardNoob]

Just punish them with a shoryuken. Shoryuken's counter all, k?

[Genshyu]

Nice video but are you really fast enough for a real knife threat? It's likly, but you cant only train you eyes... But your mind, too. Because with fast eyes but not that fast of comprehending, then it's going to be hard to follow what your eyes can see. You have to be able to concentrate as well as see the attack coming.

[Micahel213]

@Genshyu

it's all about sensitivity and flow. muscle memory and properly developed motor skills. start thinking and you die.

[MrZakizakaria]

Ur awesome man hahaha !!

[KIAsynthix]

as long as u practice ur entire life, u should be able to do it ..

[CasperBHansen]

lol, sounds like the arm breaks while he puts him down :P

[blebluebl]

or. stab him first..

[LILKOTICK]

just tell them the cops are behind them and when they look just kick them in the balls or run like forrest gump na haha.

[Tanith4]

that is the absolute best way to tick him off/get gutted

[badger09876]

lol use arrest techniques in a street fight?????

[katyrick09]

Very dicey. I wouldn't intercept a knife thrust head on, especially when they are capable of quickly retracting their lunge stab. In my experience, a good counter measure (if you have a belt) is to whip it out and flail figure-of-8. Nothing will get through. Tactic used in kusari jutsu (skills of ninpo). Just an idea. I was attacked with a syringe once and this method truely worked.

[adri92239]

I agree. it's a bit iffy especially if the person you're dealing with knows what they're doing,

[rocwiler0]

no way, too fancy

[mOnK27640]

hahahah x formation.. NOW!!! haha

[snowboars777]

x-block

ummmm if he moves his hand down hes out of it wtf

i got a better idea

grab his hand or knife blade and nail him in the face

it alot more effective

[Youngblood150000]

hahaha u dnt block or grab or anythin like dat ..u run like a motherfucker

[JakeAndArronTalkShow]

LMFAO!!

[phoenix906]

agreed

[TheChrisman126]

@Youngblood150000 you are just a pussy

[TheANGLE42]

@Youngblood150000 yea but what if he is faster than you?

[HarmonicMinorJ]

Eskrima is the way to go

[geesus138]

The hard part would be getting the X block on the spot..

[deathking137]

i herd somethign crunch...

[lilroller3]

i heard the crunch 2

[hughlaurieishouse]

really good advice on my favs

[bullethead2008]

X block against a knife??!! Hahahaha! Oh man I thought this died out in the 60s. Dude, that will get you very dead very quickly against someone who really trained in a blade system, like Filipino martial arts. They specifically train to defeat useless "defenses" like x-blocks. the attacker will just rotate his knife to bring the blade up and pull the knife back to slice your wrists and hands. Better rethink that knife defense strategy..

[Yingguoren1]

oh man i posted a text on a previous video of his sayin "at least there are no bullshit disarming techniques" but as i search a bit more, what do i find.. these videos should be called "HOW TO GET YOURSELF KILLED BY A RETARDED REDNECK WHO HAS CLEARLY NEVER BEEN IN OR SEEN A KNIFE ATTACK"

[letscsumblood]

so id fucking kill this guy if i wanted 2 shank him, this all works if the attacker is fucking retarded
