@WildBillJP Excellent argument. Yea, you're right. 14th century dagger play is the way to go lol.

[WildBillJP]

@haffoc Yea I'm sure.

Thumbs up if you think 2:37-2:47 is a realistic knife attack.

And the truth is, unless you're extremely paranoid, no one expects a knife attack out of the blue. Your knife is in your pocket, you're walking past a guy, and then suddenly he reaches for something and stabs you. You do NOT have enough time to draw, swing, and stab while his knife is already in mid air swinging. Grab his arm and either knock the blade out and reach for your own and stab him before he can pick it up, or take his knife and stab him or guide his own arm into his body.

awesome videos dude im sick of the knife fight training videos that always emply the attacker is gonna let you know he has a knife and isabout to stab you... lol gives me the impression the only fights they been in is going from white belt to yellow and so on lol

@MrFrancobelli it depends on the situation and your self. for example if the attacker was to go head on ''HEY IM GONNA STAB YOU GET READY'' krav maga might work but that wont ever happen lol chances are you wont expect it and it only takes a second to get stabbed.

i feel that Krav maga knows how to defence against a knife attack (defend and strike at the same time)

I guess the best way is to watch these aggressive videos and practice realistically as if it were life or death.

@haffoc Unfortunately, you will stabbed again if you have contact with a thug who wants to stab you and you use your current stuff. 9 times I have faced a knife with my empty hands & my hands, arms & even my left leg have been cut, BUT my torso, neck and head have never been cut and I have never been stabbed. Also, what in the hell are you gonna do against an ambush attack? In all the attacks you guys do, the knife is displayed prior to the attack and there is always a fair amount of seperation.

@haffoc You better add some realistic training like the stuff shown in the videos I suggested. You really need to learn that the techniques I saw you performing are not going to hold up against a modern, ongoing, committed, ruthless, onslaught. You are not going to control the arm using the stufff you are using specifically because the attacker isn't going to leave the arm out there as you try to control it. He is going to counter as Fiore explored but Marozzo left out.
