The best self defence is 500- yard sprint.

If you want to see just how quick a knife can be then try a simple marker pen exercise. Defender wearing an old long sleeved shirt, attacker really trying to stab & slash. Result? Ink marks everywhere, especially to those blocking hands and arms. Add head target, neck, changing hands, concealed knife and an aggressive attacker that grabs, kicks & punches and you get an idea of how hard it is to defend against. Real knife = stakes are raised x 10,000 + fear to deal with as well.

I see one problem here: real knife attacks will never come nice and slow and definitely not with an outstretched arm which -in addition- the attacker will stop and hold in mid air, waiting for your counter attack. knife attacks come repeatedly, the DO come fast as hell and from every possible angle and direction. every untrained guy will make sure to cut you wherever and as many times as he can!

your method should: 1)be natural 2)be simple adrenaline,stress, and uncertainty of a REAL situation would make super fancy stuff useless. I used to train gun and knife disarms with my sparring partner(6'1/250lbs). Trust me, you only remember the SIMPLE stuff. We set rules that made it as REAL simulated as possible. 1)fraction of sec to react 2)surprise attack 3)hyped/amped up frightening looking attacker. My body only remember ONE technique. Why? bc it was practical+effective+SIMPLE.

@cybergus18 - Nice idea. I presume you mean a bread & butter knife (no sharp edge or point). Your idea allows 'knife strikes' to the face safely as well. I'm actually up for any idea that drives home the point that knives are very serious weapons. I realize that unfortunately there may be times when there is no choice other than to defend against a blade. I just ask for knife defence instructors to please 'keep it real'.

@BelloBudo007 or you can use a knife with lipstick on the blade!! i saw that in fight quest i think!!

@MasterNinja1990 - Your response came through on my email so I'll assume it's aimed at me. 1. I saw & heard EVERYTHING. 2. His 'nidan black belt' assistant made the cardinal error of not listening to the expert and stepped. No knife person trained or untrained will give you that advantage. It's blade first body second. 3. Read my comments closer as I actually offer an exercise that supports what was said on the video, namely knives are dangerous. And they are dangerous even in untrained hands.

[MasterNinja1990]

hahaha thats so funny =) its like you didnt listen to anything he says in the beginning of the video. its not only your mind that is closed, its your ears too.

It's true that the best defence to a knife attack is escape (running away) but this technique is not too bad.
