I approve of this professor. Very nice fundamentals video.

[@rogerharper47]

Very similar to Escrima, but many knife fights/attacks I witnessed (as a correctional officer working Old Folsom in the 80s) were more of an ambush type assault with many short and fast thrust to the body or a few quick slashes to the throat if possible. On the street, I have seen similar methodology used as well, usually all over in seconds. The techniques demonstrated here seem effective as long as one brings a knife capable of getting proper penetration to vital areas.

[@russelldavis8415]

Roger Harper TBH if you are going to learn how to use a knife, you need to know some essential anatomy and if you can some pathology, you don’t need a six or twelve inch blade, when a three inch blade can do the job, provided you know where the key targets are.

[@gusmcrae1120]

Differences: I was taught to protect my lower body (belly button down) with my off hand (hand not holding the blade). This is instituted to slap or knock away or deflect an attacker's arm, or to parry a punch. My blade protected my upper body. The off hand or 'protector hand and arm,' and the blade wielding hand, are always to work in tandem...one always protecting the other when fighting. All else you teach, 'pyramid sector' and 'points of thrust/slash/stick, stepping forward to attack/stepping back to reassess or rethink when overwhelmed, are clock on similar. One important thing I was taught is never providing or producing the 'negative' position or opportunity, for an attacker to utilize against you. Aggressiveness and intimidation was also a stressed criteria. Even stomping the ground loudly with a foot was taught me; to gain the attacker's attention for a brief, strategical moment. Good video, Instructor. Thank you. I'm going on to your third video.

[@jakescorpion1]

best fighting video i ever saw. no bs

[@llnobbi7ll]

Im comming from Boxing, that surely helps

[@shonpieters9609]

This training video is a break down of movement in it's infancy stage to help beginners learn how to use. Having a martial arts background will help a lot. The whole 2 hour video will save your life. This is the real deal shit and I have used it to save my life, and I have used it against other knife fighting systems with cold steal training blades. This is by far the most practical and straight forward tactical knife fighting system. I'm not even a pro at this style but it makes u efficient. I'm willing to spare with anyone local with training blades to test the difference. Always seeking to advance or see what methods are best for use. So far this one is real world applicable...

[@STBRetired1]

It finally dawned on me why this technique seemed so familiar. It is either based on or has incorporated many similar movements as two systems that have been around for hundreds of years. Bowie big knife fighting and the system it was based on was FENCING. You can't get any better time-tested system than fencing. Fighting with big knives is just fighting with short swords. If the footwork in fencing wasn't the best then it would have changed over hundreds of years of competition. One difference I did notice was his hand was placed high to protect his neck. In Bowie knife fighting, they seem to have the hand a bit lower to protect the heart from a thrust. That places the arm/hand more out of the way to see better and to use it in countering. It is only a few inches lower than the neck and can easily and rapidly be moved to protect the neck if you see a high attack coming. Remember, you can bob and weave as in boxing, too. You don't have to stand like a statue with movable arms. Moving your head and shoulders will also make it harder to hit your neck. But, your heart doesn't move as far as your head so you still need more protection to avoid a thrust to the chest/heart so keep your hand in front of your chest. Just my opinion.

[@craiggeorge8793]

Thank you for that.

[@spiritualwarriorhealer6154]

Instructor stated in the first video this system pulls from four different systems.

[@johnstanley7442]

Meck1786, I see your point, and I was just about to comment about the left (rear) hand positioned in front of the throat, yes, but, like you, I'd want the outer hand and outer forearm facing the opponent, to avoid the danger of exposing the wrist and inner arm, which is how I was always taught to parry blades, if at all possible. That springing back foot does work, though, IMHO. I still appreciate that these insights are being shared.

[@matthunter9562]

Amazing Knives fighting lesson, thank you for your sharing, Israel always the best of the best 👍👍👍

really encouraging to see that the guy doesn't have one scar...

he's never been in a knife fight.... been shot, stabbed and blown up, hell delivered my own son. unfortunately you don't chose your environment... it can happen to anyone... I hope I never see a knife in a fight again... and I am trained!

[@OutlawJr357]

I unfortunately took a bullet in the leg and had to walk 40 or so yards and years ago I got stabbed in the stomach and had to use my knife and got him in the arm and it stopped him and he took off.

[@snazdogdbfan251]

I'm only 13 and I got stabbed in the leg when I was 12. My mistake was wearing red I'm Crip territory. But I pulled the knife out of my leg and by extreme luck, threw it in the Crip's back. He went to jail

The "pyramid" slash/cut is much like a pizza... i think it would be much easier to remember cutting a thug like a pizza than like an ancient Egyptian pyramid, with all due respect.

[@flintrocks]

lol thanks to you I will always remember the pyramid/pizza. Though I understand why they might not want to be teaching Israeli commandos to cut their enemies up using the.... PIZZA! lol

[@veshkeat]

In unarmed combat, this is usually correct. With a weapon in hand, many prefer to lead with whatever hand has the weapon

[@EnduringArts]

Any time anyone says "This is the only way" be very critical of what that person is teaching you. There are many paths to the truth in all things, this is only one. Good information though.

[@ememe1412]

Every knife fight art (unarmored) from the Philippines share the same basic stance (more or less) and logic. Seeing the prevalence to this day of actual knife fighting in the country, I'd go with what he said. Only thing I'm weary of is the backhand stab which is ideally executed against an opponent cutting the angle at the same time that the critical distance is being re-established. A backhand from 12 o'clock has a risk of being jammed and you can take a 3" poke easily in the time to disengage. Of all the risks when knife fighting, you WILL be cut and stabbed, the depth in which you open yourself to be stabbed is critical (every attack and defence moves the protecting limbs away from the vital area). 20 puncture wounds will get trumped by anything deeper than 2-3inches in the torso.

[@veshkeat]

All martial arts practiced today have their history in other martial arts, no exceptions. Krav Maga simply combines what is often considered the most effective techniques that are easy to learn (effectiveness vs. learning curve) and teaches you how to use it. Where the kick or punch or what ever comes from makes no difference. Escrima was influenced by the Indonesian arts, who were influenced by the Chinese arts, who in turn got their inspiration from the Indian arts predating Kalaripayattu.

[@dogguyful]

Best defence against knife is staying far from the attacker or run.

[@I..cast..fireball]

what about some stuff about knife vs other weapons. If its about knife fighting, we can assume you have a knive, but the other person may not have gotten that message. Baseball bat? pistol? Stick?

[@ememe1412]

Which part is Israeli? The instructor? All the concepts mentioned are the basic precept in the arnis of Luzon.

[@Furaxxxxx]

If your ever in a knifefight(lol) I wouldent worry about slashing at all. Will there ever be a legit street fight situation where the instigator pulls a knife, then the defender pulls a knife and they decide too go at it. Thats what I wonder. Would have been an epic youtube clip.

[@craigdamage]

I feel sorry for anyone who sees this and thinks in any way any of this can help on the street.

[@a199719971997]

Alright, so I have a question. I am currently boxing and have very well conditioned my left hand, or my non-dominant hand, to be in front. It works very comfortably and if I switch to have my right hand it front, it just feels awkward. The instructor said to have the knife in your dominant hand and your dominant hand in front. Would it be okay for me to have my left hand at the front, since I am most used to it, or should I practice and condition my right hand to be more used to moving like that.

[@Britsamurai]

+a199719971997 I train and do the drills with both sides, right and left hand dominant. I don't do the drills with my knife hand in the back, but I still train using my dominant hand to control the opponent, while I attack with the knife from the rear. I would use this technique for an unarmed threat, especially a large threat and one possibly trained in knife disarmament techniques.

[@a199719971997]

+Britsamurai Okay, okay. I think I get it. Thank you man! For the video and the reply. I'm already practicing.

[@user-cr8vy2hs7o]

I was always taught your opposite leg was meant to be forward, like if your dominant hand is your right then you put your left leg in front. Why is he doing it opposite?

[@joshm3484]

Because he's clueless.

[@thranduilmirkwood6518]

Fuq Gooogle Any intelligent answer rather than that ?...

[@thranduilmirkwood6518]

If he is right handed, it's better to have the right side forward in order to be at reach of his opponent and also to be in a correct stance, more stable when you attack. If you attack with you're right hand and the left leg is forward, that's not that good.

[@michaelbexarthomas652]

Honestly the knife hand should be in front and if you naturally box in an orthodox stance (left foot forward) and are used to that than using your left hand (jabbing hand) to hold the knife is best. The rear hand can be used for powerful follow-up strikes if needed or to help feel whats in back of you before you run into it (your back foot does the same). You will always move better in a stance your used to. Knives don't take much energy to be effective when kept sharp. Three months later but a non-chimpanzee answer.

[@joshm3484]

Thranduil Mirkwood Oh never saw the reply. Any ways there seem to be allegations that other than 3 years with a demolition unit in the 80s the guy has no military experience or affiliation, but that's true of 95% of the people who sell self defense and try to make it sound like they're some sort of elite operator. He also claimed to train with and be endorsed by people who have flat out stated he's being dishonest with the nature of their relationships. He might be the greatest warrior in the world, though you can actually look at the official manuals used to train most military and see that his system is...unique, but good or bad, in the "street self defense super SEAL mall-ninja" business you're only as good as you word, and most of it's bullshido.

[@pierrech]

Holding the knife by the blade?

[@asderso]

Brit, and any kind guy here.. what type of KNIFE would you recommend me for street fighting ?

[@UpdoggWhattt]

I'd be interested to know as well. I always carry a folder on me (at the moment, it's a Kershaw Blur, one of my personal favs), but I'm thinking about experimenting with carrying a fixed blade. Any recommendations, guys?

[@asderso]

ThatUncutRaw all street fighters recommend FIXED blade. Why ? You can pull the knife without worrying about malfunctions, or worse, waisting vital seconds, by carrying the "open blade" types.

[@UpdoggWhattt]

Peter Pan I know. That's the main reason why I'm considering making the switch. It just sucks that in most cases, you end up losing concealability. I'm hoping to find a good fixed blade that I can carry in the small of my back, under a t-shirt. Any suggestions, fellow youtubers??

[@asderso]

ThatUncutRaw You disappointed me by asking "youtubers" and not myself for advice. I am a Narcissist and crave for obedience from people. To feel I !!! am the one.

[@vikingwarlord777]

Peter Pan A karambit is a good fixed blade that can be easily concealed and allows for close in grappling.

[@spiritualwarriorhealer6154]

Theres a difference in Military training special combat vs Police training verses Street. To balance these all out will be the factor and stay alive & out of jail. In any defending system you will be hurt or lose your life.

[@ReliableHumour]

Im right handed but but I like to have my left foot forward

[@askaryambus]

what if he moves to 9:35 and he is EST and the opponent is in PST? Should we expect the opponent move to 6:30? what if the opponent is using "military" time and he moves to 17:30? Crap... It's so complicated.

[@nicokulmann8398]

"you always wanna keep the knife up front". hmm. navy seals say the opposite.

[@Britsamurai]

+Nico Kulmann Israeli forces, more often than not deal with lightly trained militia's and civilians, Navy Seals go up against fully trained armies, so they need to be more prepared for disarms and counter attacks,. Having the knife out front does makes it more vulnerable to trap techniques, but it is definitely an advantage in a knife fight with someone who is not highly trained.

[@chriswinchester4805]

There is the argument that an opponent could steal your knife because it is closer to him.
