This video in no way shows all our training doctrine for knife defense. We have strategies and tactics for when you have a crazed attacker and you can't catch the weapon bearing limb.It is not 'how to do' video,it is purely for entertainment and displaying skill. Use what is useful and disregard what is not.

@mrtigereast Do you incorporate any boxing strikes, strategies & techniques for when you have someone charging are doing a "sowing machine" attack?

Its difficult for them to knife you if they you are avoiding & knocking them senseless - obviously not all of boxing is relevant or practical but I just thought to ask you what your opinion is on pure striking in knife defence as some crazed attackers are stronger than they look.

[mrtigereast]

In a type of attack that you mentioned, we try to use eye attacks and low line leg kicks. Footwork and evasion are very important. Use anything in your environment as weapon,throw dirt in there face,spit anything it takes to survive. Of course always try to get away.

HAVE A LOOK AT MAUL MORNIES VIDS ON KNIFE,looks similar,is this a derivative of silat or kali

[mrtigereast]

@TheSilatiger I have done some training with Maul..he is a real master of his art.

@mrtigereast Thanks for the comprehensive reply. I do boxing and Jujitsu both traditional and BJJ. There is a lot of boxing clubs that only do boxing as a sport but I am interested after seeing Talhoffer's medieval fight books & Mark Hatmaker's videos on how boxing can be used against a knife in self defence using the old style boxing of the bare knuckle era. Your reply & videos are very good & if you want to check out any of those sources they are on YTube

Using environment make sense thanks!

I still think the best defense training against knife attacks are sprints.

hey what type off martiel arts is this

[denrayhartman]

You can't fight a man with a blade especially when he knows how to use the blade. Just a piece of thought. I could be wrong!

[SilenTwolF23100]

hmm really good stuff , does seem to have alot of jiu jitsu stuff involved and strikes from muay thai such as elbows

Better to get sliced than to lose your life! (If the attacker is really coming at you and you can't escape that is)

[philcommon1]

Knife defense is almost always simply a factor of how badly you are injured. As many people will tell you who have faced even a street punk with a blade and a real intent to use it. If a serious knife attack is launched at you you WILL BE CUT, at a minimum. I'd say the best defense is to try and protect your off arm (i.e. left arm if you are a righty) with a jacket or shirt and rotate around the off side of your attacker and do your best to draw the attacker's blows into your protected arm.
