"That would never work" - "He's too slow"... Its a practice move, geez.

This is performed at a speed you would show to students to emulate, the move in a 'real situation' would be substantially faster, stronger and more violent.

The title clearly says "Demo", not "Real life fight".

All these dickheads saying this is too slow etc. Id prefer to have this knowledge than not if attacked with a knife. If this guy keeps practicing he will become faster and more skilled!

@camaroman2k8 "What kind of jerk would attack a guy bowing to him?" James Bond.

visually nice, but you still have slim chances. For great information on knife fighting, try video "Paul Vunak knife philosophy", or youtuber "creativecombats"

[rotsebanotman]

you dont catch the hand when he tries to stab you!

[Gohoku]

one question....(not sarcastic) if you have him down and you use your wrist techniques, why not strip his knife?

[camaroman2k8]

The odds are already against you if the guy has a knife, if there is no other choice, it's better to know something than nothing. Odds are you will get cut but at least you have a chance.

@Dankman121 First of all, this is a school where they show respect/humility to each other, that's the custom in Korea when they bow. Secondly, who would bow in an actual situation? Third, what kind of jerk off would attack a guy bowing to him?

Way to quote Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles films there.

Schools are meant to be safe enviornments.
