I dont like to knock vids but this showed nothing, only how to get hurt with a knife

[deanvallen]

@HighWay93, no you didn't. Hold knife like on the vid and you will get caught. Knife holding hand should never be exposed and kept tight to the body. If you hold the knife with right hand, then you should be showing left side with left hand pushing opponent, grabing, holding - in other words distracting. Then close in and make multiple quick attacks stabbing and cutting. But do it like on the vid and your knife hand is too exposed asking to be grabbed.

@hazzaroot my response to your comment is that kungfu cannot be learned in a few weeks it takes time and people don't often appreciate the fundamentals nor mindset you have to have agains't someone who is proficient with a knife..what this video teaches is the mindset which is very important..there are no quick results in a superior martial art like this..you will not learn this in jeetkundo..although this sounds boring i myself appreciate the importance of what he is teaching,

@Colimarche thats so true, if you dont use a reverse grip your blade dont have much power ?

a blade dont need big power to cut your flesh, this "teacher" should go to jail he send his students into big trouble,including death !!!

I'm Asian and even I know to just run away from this situation.

[Colimarche]

This guy has no clue. Reverse grip = skillful knife fighter? Seriously?
