KRAV MAGA: Knife Defense Series - Lower Upwards Knife Stab Defense

HowToKravMaga


Knife Defense Series -- Low Upwards Knife Stab Defense
Situation/ Description
The attacker takes out a knife and tries to stab you in an upwards motion aimed to your lower abdominal area.
Steps:
1. When you see that the attacker is holding a knife, running away is your best option, if your attacker is very close and you can't run then calm down; Focusing on his weapon will cause you to panic, which can be fatal. Calm you attacker down; do not provoke him to attack you.
2. When the attacker thrusts the knife towards you in an upwards motion, grab above his wrist using both of your hands. Make sure that you close the gap between your hands when executing this step.
3. Simultaneously, spring outward with your lower body so that when you stop his wrist the length of the knife does not reach your body.
4. Holding his wrist with two hands, take two steps forward. The first step should put you close to the attacker on the side of his body. After step diagonally forward, move under his arm with your whole body, this is done while rotating inward so that at the end of the second step you will be behind him, facing his back in control of his wrist and arm. This whole time you have power over his wrist of his hand that is holding the knife.
5. Once you are behind the attacker pick up his arm and bend his wrist upwards at once. This action may break his wrist; he will release most of his grip on the knife which will easily allow you to disarm him.
6. Throw the knife out of his hands. Then release one of your hands and grab one of the attacker's facial pressure points. Use force and throw him backwards, or pin him down and call the police.
7. This is a serious and dangerous move and shall only be practiced using a rubber knife. Even the best Krav Maga masters agree that no move will work perfectly 100 percent of the time. In a real situation using this move you may get minor cuts, this is a LAST RESORT move only. Do not practice this technique unless you're properly trained, or have proper supervision.

I told my friend in we try this in I stop the knife in it stab me a lil bit lol

[howtokravmaga]

@placenciaify

I hope that it was a rubber knife!

After practicing a few time you should be able to get it right, this is not a very complicated move.

Thanks for the feedback :)

Please think twice before you try to grab a wrist in a knife fight, if the attacker is doing a multiple stab, which would be the normal way to do it, the defender will lock his arms while reaching for the knife!! Please look at dogbrothers videos!! If you don’t counterattack right away you will die. We train in elevators where we enter and the one tries to stab the defender and the only way to survive is block and counter

[howtokravmaga]

@poulmelgaard The defense that is displayed in our videos

actually catches the attackers hand, so that he can not "multiple stab" .

This move takes practice to master, yet is extremely effective, and it is one of the many techniques used by the Israeli Military.

What about 360 with simutal attack ... well we train with inscturos like Tamir or few times with Bjorn Karlsson and they never show us this technic... and its look very dangerous for defender go both hands forward... its look like he can stab you with no effort

[howtokravmaga]

@Dominikmrvik Like i mentioned earlier it might be a different type of Krav Maga this knife defense was taught to us by a military personal so he might have learned a different kind of Krav

@bananito6 I wasnt in the navy...the guy that showed me the disarm technique was.

[bananito6]

@vamtheanomaly

what other things did he showed you in the "navy'?

XD

[SuperOwni]

you should keep the knife when you take it

[vamtheanomaly]

I learned a technique from a guy i met while in correctional officer boot camp. He was in the navy and showed me about the same thing with a big variation. As the guy thrusts the knife, on of your hands slaps the back of his hand while the other slaps the other side of the wrist causing the knife hand to fold.Its a quick move done as you thrust your lower body back.Knife will fly out of their hand and in some cases the knife flies back towards the attacker.At worst youll get non lethal cut.

can u do a video on how to defend urself from a pistol plz

[highlander91able]

i am a krav maga student at level g2 and i can clearly say it is not the best option to grab the wrist with both hands, it is extremely easy to miss and your hands and abdomin will be severed, that is why we always teach pupils to use the 360 defense when facing against a knife because it is hard to not miss. grabbing the wrist is as we call it " an amateur " move and can get you seriously injured.

[12344richard]

how come all of the krav maga teacher talk all the like the guy in the video kind of wierd

[briansmobile1]

I've subscribed. Great detail on moves and when to use them.

Different to defence I know from Krav training. I think the normal defence of 360 defence with simultaneous punch be better due to fact you haven't taken him out of fight and he mite fight back with the aikido like move. But was a good move anyways
