How to defend against a knife Use things Don taught at the Dojo Defenses against knife attacks, in the first place, if you can get yourself and anyone else outside the zone of potential danger ..... RUN AWAY.Yes right ear, flee. This is a cowardly way, is reasonable. After all your potential assailant could be on drugs or just crazy. Nobody needs a dead hero.However if you can not leave or if you won, try to talk his way out of the situation, saying that the guy who wants to hear or give him what he wants, whether it is a robbery, but only if that peace Cree ... Let me explain. If it appears that her attacker stab if giving all your money or not, then you should do something about the situation before it happens, any way you could get stabbed. That is why this is the last resort and only if you tried to attack you no matter what.It 's decision that only you can do and if live in this situation will not be easy. Therefore, there are in this nightmare. How to deal with this? Use the knife defenses he leaed in martial arts classes? I hope not, because soon bleed to death if your assailant has any idea how to use knife.I tried an experiment of about 5 years ago, now with my partner, the training is very fast with his hands and able to handle a knife. We used a dummy knife (luck), with some red ink at the end of it and I was wearing a white Gi.I at this time was the training of martial arts for about 16 years and has leaed a lot of different defenses knife styles and then I was sure that what he came to me I would be able to handle it.He quickly take the knife from hand to hand and attacked a variety of points of view, cutting, rope and really for you. I successfully disarmed several times, but each time I was also stabbed multiple times (this is why the Police and Prison service use riot shields and several officers when dealing with knife attackers). We work with all that he had a knife defenses leaed so much from different styles over the years, but a factor that remains is the fact that this is to simulate a real situation, so that the attacker was not in a position and is not came with a single attack in a straight line, had repeatedly from any angle of attack very fast.What wanted something that was their vital organs to keep as far away from the knife, while allowing the attack to assailant.Here 's what we came to: (This is only my opinion based on over 20 years of experience in martial arts, and it worked again and again. But remember to use only as a last resort) First we must take account of their attackers to out of what to think (for example, stab!) .. ....... He spits in the face, but I do not remember well what you want to stab! This gives a fraction of a second move.Next fall at his side, fast! (Side breakfall) How to hook your feet around to the back of his forehead with his foot and other foot, stamp hard on the front of the knee. This can be instant or dislocate (once more pleasant, but these people do not stab you!) No matter if you lose a lot with the hook as you can get the seal of knee.Either in it, and that is disarming in the land and wait for the police or simply get out of there, do not fall hook, and prosecuting you.The take a little 'practice to achieve, but worthwhile, because it is one worth taking your arsenal.Any comments or observations welcomedPaul Swift was a student of martial arts for 22 years to achieve levels: 5th Dan Karate Jitsu 3rd Dan Ju Jitsu 1.
