Silat - Knife Defence (Part 2)

Part 2 of knife defence: Looking at a few ACADEMIC disarms. These disarms are for instructional purposes and are shown in order to be clear for the camera. This is not how they would be done under pressure in a real life-or-death situation!
You must train these disarms with full intensity against a live and struggling opponent for them to be worth anything. You WILL get cut doing this stuff, and it is a real last resort!

Some fundemental knife defence techniques including basic entries and disarms. It is essential to note a few things when tackling a knife:
1) knives are SHARP - they do not rely on a high level of force to be able to damage. For this reason, a knife attacker will not massively telagraph a slash or a stab. It will be quick, brutal and deadly.
2) Knives move quickly. An attacker set on killing you does not just do "a move" then wait for your response. They will be aiming to put as many holes in you in a 5 second period as possible.
3) You WILL get cut - just make sure you get cut on your terms, not on your attacker's terms.
4) You will be scared...REALLY scared. Use it!
5) NEVER, EVER train unrealistically - Taking things down a notch can be really useful, but always bear in mind what works and what doesn't. Your agressor is a living, breathing person and has just as much ability to think and move as you do.
6) You WILL have to hurt the attacker. There are arts that teach passive tactics. It is my opinion (and it is just an opinion) that this is a bad idea!
