Dude! GN is going to do this and it will be epic! You guys should meet and do some videos together. I'm on this video wearing "cargo pants" as one of the debunked guys. Depending on the ruleset, I think I could gain control of his arm. I'd be willing to try! I've got my strategy, but I'm not sure what the rules will be. It would be fun either way. Why don't you try to catch it?! I need 6-8 months to recover from a recent surgery though if I can accept the challenge. Tore my pec tendon. :(

My favourite part is that trav acknowledges that he actually likes the guys, however it does hurt more when someone you like dumps on you. I practice Arnis/Escrima but I practice Trav’s knife defence with my son, I think he’s right about less is more when it comes to responding to attacks. To be honest though, I’d rather see Trav and Funker work together on a few videos (or a full program) than have some drawn out diss battle. Real Martial arts is a brotherhood, not a competition.

It is a brotherhood, AND a competitive/cooperative one. We get better by testing ourselves and our techniques against each other. That is all Trav is proposing, as you saw, he gives props to them and respect, and makes it clear it is the techniques he is arguing against not the individuals.

Very well defended indeed! Too many expletives though. I believe Mr. Trav to be a serious, realistic, and passionate martial artist. I purchased his knife fight training and find it compellingly realistic. I mean, a knife attack is brutally intense; will a common martial art practitioner be able to calmly redirect the strike, and counter without flaw...that has yet to be seen, but I doubt it. Heck, I've been in marital arts of over 20 years, and you could catch me on a bad day...hence why I carry weapons. So in light of practicing wrist drills and knife flows, I choose to use Mr. Trav's avoidance, deliberate movements, redirects, and counter strikes during my daily work outs, therefor killing 2 birds with one knife technique (see what I did there). Go Trav!!!

Perfectly stated Trav! I wish somebody would've had the guts to go against the system (and the masters, tuhans, sifus, senseis, and gurus) in order to find out what actually works and teach JUST that to me 40 years ago when I started in the martial arts. Think of the time that I would've had (not practicing crap) but practicing what really works...imagine how good I would be by now with those few techniques. And side note, think of the money that I would've saved instead of looking for more, searching through the next style or system to get one grain of usable skill. It's there, it just comes with the burden of drills, and kata, and forms, and useless stuff that only works in some dude's mind, and of course on his willing students....WHO HAVE SPENT TIME AND MONEY ON LEARNING HOW TO BE GOOD DUMMIES/PARTNERS/UKES...learning how to feed a punch (or knife thrust) off of their front foot, learning how to keep their arm extended, learning to let go of the weapon, and look good for the master's demonstration. This is how it's been established....I have lived it through several systems....and I'm ashamed to say, from both sides. Let's fix this traditional mess! Thanks Trav.

They tend to do what Bruce Lee did technique-wise, but they do not get the point of what he said about "discarding the rest". And while Dog Brothers have dialed this idea of using what works in for their fights, they still spend a lot of time teaching a whole bunch of moves that are never seen at a gathering.

Good on you, Trav: very noble of you to arrange this challenge, but don't give anyone an open invitation for a free shot at 10Gs. I'd say limit the conditions to just 100 knife attacks and put up 100 to 1 odds that the Funker Tactical crew can't put you in that textbook Russian Tie submission move. If they're confident in their ability to do so, then make them first put their money where their mouth is challenging them to front $100 to win your $10,000. Then Robin Hood that Benjamin and donate it to a worthy cause. By the way, your knife defense series is awesome.

If you avoid the cheapest shit then it'll be lighweight, easily concealable and fit you nicely, good quality ones shouldn't even be that warm.

I trained Kendo in Japan one year while I was stationed in Japan. In one year I learned 4 strikes & two variations of each (eventually) - I spent my first few months learning balance, form, footwork, and I was given one strike. Took me months before I was taught a variation on that strike. After about 4 months I learned my second strike. A solid foundation & perfecting that foundation is essential. Most people want to rush right into learning everything, but without that foundation, you take one step forward & fall back two. I was taught to take one step & perfect that one step before moving on to the next. After I was there about 6 months the master told me I was the only American that lasted in his class longer than 3 months. Once the foundation was build I was taught things quicker, because with a good foundation I was able to understand & implement the techniques quicker & better, but until they were solid we didn’t move on to the next technique. I’ve been a martial artist my entire life. I grew up in a dojo with my father teaching since I was in diapers so I appreciate this concept of mastering one technique rather than learning 1,000 techniques but mastering none, as this was the same as my father’s approach to training. He was also a police officer & he put into practice what he preached. He learned that a lot of what he was taught when he was rising up through the ranks didn’t actually work on the streets. That’s when he changed his approach. I love my father for not only the skills he taught me, but the valuable lesson of patience as well.

I'm going to train my primary knife defense here pretty soon: sprints. I've trained with a knife for some time now, you want to know the most important thing I've learned? If you train with it in a certain way it becomes close to impossible to defend against. If I (or anyone who has trained in an effective way) have a knife, and even a small amount of space to maneuver (which is really only necessary if someone is trained, and even then they'd probably need to be highly trained), and you are unarmed, I'm going to hurt you, probably in a way that is incapacitating or fatal. Even Trav's 'no BS knife defense techniques' like the parry rely on the person being slow and stationary. Volition is really a scary thing when someone has a blade... It isn't like a wild haymaker or sloppy hook. You have no idea how fast a person is. Don't take a chance, if someone has a knife and you don't have a firearm (or even then) and are able to: run, and hope you're faster than the person chasing you. Only when you're backed into a corner should you resort to these techniques.

Well, the gauntlet has been dropped. There is only 1 way to tell who has the better theory: battle test it. The challenge should be accepted (if he has any confidence in the techniques he supports) and whoever is correct will prevail. It’s THAT simple. At this point, excuses are just a sign of doubt and weakness.

I've taken knife defece courses from descends of the masters Nick Ellis. A student of Paul Volnac. His advice is run, or last resort practice his teaching of two moves 2000 plus times. Muscle memory. Strike first fast and threw. With power till the threat is through. Then escape.

2nd comment: I bought the course. LOVE the course. No one style is perfect...even this isn't nor does it claim to be, but this make my brain say "yup... now if forced into that situation, I have a chance to survive". Trav took the time to question techniques (even his own) and wanted to find REAL solutions... and did.

I love this video. I’ve been in martial arts since I was seven in the 90s and I can’t tell you how sick of all these fake garbage and sensational claims I am. Every former military jack ass or black belt has some knife defense trick that everyone fawns over. I’ve been in real nice flights and I’ll tell you there’s very little you can do against the knife that’s any different than fighting for your life like you do in any actual combat situation. Over the years I have whittled my effective techniques down to just a handful and I know those well. I recommend the same for everyone.Thanks for this video keep up the good work.
