Elite Knife Fighter vs Elite Gun Fighter - RAW, UNCUT, NEVER BEFORE SEEN FOOTAGE

The most iconic series on Funker Tactical featuring Instructor Zero and Doug Marcaida! Check out some really dope merch on our new store including a head turning Instructor Zero hoodie!
New! The Funker Tactical Shop: bit.ly/3qR8VEB
For the seriously tactical, this video answers MANY questions that were posted in the comments of the Knife vs Gun series. Learn why this series is one-dimensional in favor of the gun fighter. As we continue to explore your ideas, we will release videos of an evolving knife fighter that employs different tactics in close quarters combat.
The 21ft Rule may be dead in the case of a skilled gun fighter versus an unskilled attacker...but what happens when the knife is wielded by a skilled knife fighter? We might actually see that 21ft rule expand.

We await your conclusive video evidence that goes counter to EVERY SINGLE knowledgeable firearms/defensive instructor, as well as countless real life encounters, that demonstrates reliable stopping of a moving threat by 'shooting the legs'. Not to mention the 'femoral arteries are a real thing and the target will still bleed out' tiny little problem anyway.

[@DiegoMachida]

I don't think your on point here, the video shows a trained man drawing his weapon against a surprise incoming attack, and he fails in every scenario, meaning that if a surprise attack with kill intentions wouldve been attempted on a cop, the cop would be dead. The cops shooting at a guy with a knife then means that he had plenty of time to draw his weapon and decide what to do, and, instead of shooting him in the leg or something, they choose to empty a full fucking mag on a guy while having distance, time, and firepower on their side. Anyways i've never been in combat, just an opinion

+ReconCrusader This is a poor and terrible attitude. To fight is not to be human. To fight is to be animal. To REASON is to be human. We all should be trained to fight and defend ourselves against attackers who intend to kill. This does NOT mean that we shouldn't have the discipline to exercise restraint and use reason and logic to try and strategize ways of avoiding the fight. Be smarter right up until the point when reason does you no good. Then, and only then, should you be like the animal and kill.

[@patrickb-man1309]

ReconCrusader In these comments, you come off as someone who is very angry and has very little self control, cussing in comments when there is no need, insulting when there is no need. Humans do not HAVE to be violent. We are much more intelligent than lions. We are capable of gathering and cooking food without chasing down and killing it. The only time that it is technically necessary to be violent is when we are given no other choice in order to avoid bodily harm or death. We are capable of evolving into a more and more empathetic and compassionate race who do not harm each other over time. Notice I said “capable”, not that we will for sure, as I do not see into the future.

[@wessonsmithjr.6257]

The most important take away is situational awareness. But as with anything it will only go so far. In the example above if Doug had a gun and just shot Zero from behind without warning, game over. All you can hope for is that you have enough time to react to an attacker and the only way to increase your odds of being able to react is situational awareness.

Not if a significant wound is dealt to the gun arm first. Doesn’t take much to disable a tendon or ligament, and you wouldn’t be able to grip the gun after that.

[@andreyauric9104]

Irrelevant, unless you are expecting an attack. Then might as well draw the gun or simply move away from the threat from the beginning. You can't just roll then draw your gun just because someone running towards you, the knife will always be hidden unless its a bluff. In an ambush all of that are useless. Then again its mostly bluff in the street, a thief rarely just stab and kill without warning(altought it happens) .

I am so glad to see this video because the other night i started practicing a judo roll and wondering how i could incorporate it into my journey and now i get to see how effective it can be. I was using it to take a cover position. You can actually dive about 2 or 3feet into a roll and the momentum will allow you to get on your feet quickly. This stuff is awesome

[@Colak-wp1cp]

Wow, awesome. Thanks guys!

[@joseortegaa2349]

Yeah it’s not but the more you train the easier it gets

[@rockydee7499]

It was easy for my ex though.

[@jeffzeiler346]

Sure, sounds easy. And most training teaches you to die - while making you feel safer. While competent training may help reaction time, there is no substitute for paranoia, ferocity, and determination. And fortune, of course. If you can run, do it. Range is a firearms friend.

[@Robert-fq5wx]

I got stabbed and never even knew it until the fight was over. I was beating on him and he dropped the knife. I thought he had just pulled it but he had already hit me twice. Fortunately, the guy didn't know what he was doing or didn't have enough force OR didn't have a sharp enough knife but 1 stab hit a rib and the second stab hit my lower left abdomen and he twisted it but he didn't break through my abdominal muscles so just a flesh wound. Nothing a bunch of staples couldn't fix. Point is he didn't advertise it.

[@Robert-fq5wx]

I live in San Antonio, Texas. The 1990's were really violent. I got shot in a drive by at a gas station in 1991. I got stabbed at a gas station buying beer in 1996. I don't know ...Am I lucky or unlucky? And I was getting gas on my way to work in 91 and heading home in 96. Sh*t happens... :)

Doug i love watching all your fights and your strategies are always flawless. Im absolutely amazed by your work.

[@PayneMaximus]

I especially liked the technique of dropping to the floor, I had not thought of that, and it is very effective since you have your feet to control your assailant if he is still pushing forward. Then again, it's not like you'll have these kinds of engagements in real life, since you don't really know who's going to attack you, and if the knife guy knows you are a threat, he probably won't come directly unless cornered.

[@dankmheems290]

You never know with all the nuts out there that you might one day have to use the fall and draw move. I find this very valuable because I've been in fights 8 on 1, been jumped in alleys. etc.

[@buddyfernando3150]

I use this tactic all the time in call of duty.

[@EcnalKcin]

But if someone is slashing your legs, they make a good target for your gun, and then you don't have to run.

[@chownful]

Can you imagine some dumbasses actually pay money for this -training- fantasy role playing?

[@EcnalKcin]

The odds of it happening are extremely slim, but that does not make it a fantasy and those who train for it will be prepared should it ever ever to them, while those who don't train won't be. There is also a lot to be said about an increased level of alertness and preparation for any type of attack if you train for a specific type of attack, even if that attack you trained for never occurs.

[@MusashiSolid206]

i feel like in most real life encounters the person with the knife will most likely pull his knife and wield it in a matter as a tool to intimidate.(i.e. i have a knife give me your wallet) "oh yes, let me reach for my wallet... funny thing about my wallet is..its actually a gun." but then again i don't live in real life, i live in a world where i'm constantly fending off silent knife wielding ninja assassins that want to stick me more than steal from me.

[@GoodKnight5252]

lol them ninjas..

[@geraldport3150]

In my part of the world, there were many cases wherein you get stabbed or shot first without hesitation so that the thugs would simply ransack your corpse with ease. :(

[@MrZombs123]

Gerald Port true.. it can definitely go both ways.. i think this is where the being aware of your surroundings comes in... If your walking somewhere, at night, or just alone in general, you definitely need to be more aware than if say, your with a group of friends walking home from the bar, or whatever.

[@robertbrunston5406]

[@markschepker6506]

Human reaction time will not allow defense against most suprise attacks. Imagine an armed man casually passing by you and his intent was lethal. You (no matter who you are) are to slow. Even a HIGHLY trained invidual would only have a slim (if any) chance. If they did survive the attack it would be because they were aware and read his body language (highly trained individuals will totally control body language i.e. no warning). Situational awareness is your best survival tool. Train and improve for sure. But alot of survival is preventative measures and psycological training. Stay calm, aware, and hone your physical skills (whichever you chose). Put it all together and live to fight another day. Real situations are volitile, chaotic, and highly unpredictable there are no "this always works" techniques. Train, learn, and evolve continuously. Hands, knives, and guns are tools. Use what best suits the situation to ensure your survival. These men are well trained and are using valid techniques. The gun draw with his back turned is not shoot without looking. Notice his head and body position he can see his attacker. No gun should ever be fired blind.

[@andyostertag]

Agree 100%. It's a crapshoot without proper frame of mind, personal tool handling practice, and heightened awareness of the situation. Bless these people for giving us information for our folder and seeds to nurture

[@ErrantChordier]

That is so true. It's a SURPRISE attack, so you're not expecting it, and in a surprise it takes you several seconds to even realize what's going on. Sometimes people don't realize for a while that they were even shot. I like the quote from Life Aquatic: "You never say, 'I'm gonna fight you, Steve'. You just smile and act natural, and then you sucker-punch him." That's a surprise attack. Situational awareness...physically, cover (buildings, cars, people nearby), sound (footsteps, ambient noise, talking), light (sunset, streetlights) can all come into play. Also don't underestimate the knowledge factor- what you know, and what they assailant thinks. Watching for this stuff seems real paranoid, but it's the approach you should take to driving anyway, so might as well do it when walking. Safety is always first! Proper driving really takes a lot of attention. There's this intersection I go through a lot in a small downtown, and every time I make a left turn, I have to watch for: Oncoming cars, cars exiting parallel parking spaces and are now oncoming, pedestrians legally crossing, oncoming car waiting to turn left- but there's one behind them that is going straight, idiots (cars or pedestrians), pedestrians or cars being blocked from my view by oncoming traffic or signs/light posts, someone exiting the parking lot at the corner. That's a lot to watch for, but the same principles can go a way in avoiding attacks. An attack, maybe survivable. A surprise, you're toast. So just don't let yourself get surprised- arm yourself with knowledge, and pick good situations.

[@jaferessop4412]

This might shock some people but, if someone wants to harm you and they have the element of surprise, there is almost nothing you can do to stop them. I would suggest not going to areas with large amounts of strangers and, if you must, go in groups of 3 or more. For some reason, studies have shown, even crazy people, wont attack when there is a 3 to 1 superiority. Oh yeah, and, carry at least a good knife, flashlight, and pistol everywhere you go.

wrong some people have sixth sense about danger a in built feeling of impending doom....that moment you have tactics no COP no MILITARY person has ever been taught to use deeply they rely on fear of the uniform or badge or gang up mentality...perhaps you have things that give you small advantages for limited protection ...that Japanese LAPD Ninja expert knows this one tactic super well he is fantastic both hand to hand and weapons.

These two guys are high level experts, with good advice and always something to learn. Unsuspected attacks (by an experienced attacker) are almost indefendable. At the end of the day your situational awareness and common sense will be your keys to survival.

[@neilhamilton4511]

Very true I am learning situational awareness now wish I had known about situational awareness years ago another thing to take in mind is are you prepared to take a person's life sounds easy watched a video of a church that allowed everyone to bring in a gun I commented that you must be mentally prepared to take a life anyone can kill the mind is a powerful weapon but can they live with that every day and night hunted by a life you took I t can break many people even people in military so take time and train the mind mentally prepare yourself for such an event (and to anyone who reads this I am in no way shape or form telling you to prepare by starting with small animals those who hunt understand don't do stuff a psychopath would do you will become the very monster you may have to kill in defense one day

[@jonnymill5520]

Well put mate

[@magicmulder]

I wanna bet 99% of attackers are unskilled and possibly also not 100% sober (I count someone overly aggressive as “not sober” because they’re not thinking tactically). The main point of self-defense is knowing how to fend off those cases, not to be prepared for a Yakuza hit job or your attacker being a Speznats instructor with five black belts.

you can also kick as you draw, guys. You can fall backward away from the blade, too. if you wear your piece under a t shirt, up front, the draw is faster and the clearing of the shirttail is much more reliable.

[@axelord4ever]

Keep it simple. Any action that you can't drill yourself into (i.e. action which are not applicable *all* the time) ought not to be considered. For the layman, which is 99% of us here, you need to stay on the basics. You will fuck up and get yourself killed because of the _cool factor._
