German Chief Police Instructor: On Knife Defense!

[@Boltazer]

Since when has Ramsey Gordon been teaching knife defense?

[@aspenrebel]

ha ha ha ha!!! I thought the guy looked familiar!!! A lot of practice in the kitchen against irate students with knives. I saw one clip, where one woman got so pissed at him she went to hit him in the face. He actually blocked it.

[@worryphree]

I like how he teaches drills and repeating those drills over and over again to seer them into the "muscle memory"/subconscious. It seems to me that a lot of instructors don't do that, and then they end up with students that take a really long time to master the principals. It might SEEM like repeating the same thing over and over and over would "take too much time," but really it's the opposite. You end up actually SAVING a lot of time by getting it right the first time, rather than having to correct mistakes later, and those techniques practiced like that really come out clean and crisp. It's like a SNAP, POP!!

[@StevenRayW]

This is a good move compared to many other fancy suicidal knife disarm techniques commonly taught at martial arts dojos. The key is to control the weapon at the get-go while applying foward pressure to the opponent -- as opposed to just parrying and deflecting and allowing the knife to move freely.

[@ParkourEh]

It's reassuring and really neat to see how a knife defence I came up with, after a lot of experimenting and pressure testing, is so similar to what this German police officer also uses. Convergence of ideas that evolved independently is super interesting!

[@wattlebough]

ParkourEh Any knife defence that involves attempting to grab the attackers wrist when the knife hand is in full motion is bad. It will fail when the attacker pulls back for multiple stabs, because the thumb opening of the grip is facing the attacker and is therefore a weak point that makes it an easy grip to break. It also seriously risks the chance of the defenders thumb dislocating, with an attacker stabbing at full force. I respect the guy, but the technique will fail under pressure.

[@ParkourEh]

Interesting input and I agree to an extent. I always felt like "receiving" a knife stab with the web of the hand (one or two handed) to be non-ideal, although wouldn't the German police instructor's forward pressure help mitigate the issues of pulling back you mentioned? That's what he means by driving forwards to create "zero pressure". What I came up with is essentially the same but I blocked the stab with the same-side forearm and cupped the back of the triceps with the cross-side hand (I call this an "arm drag grip").

[@roundedges2]

+Iconoclasticnation That is not what he did. You misunderstood. There is no grab of wrist until the arm is stopped moving by the parry inside the elbow and the grab slides the fingers behind the wrist with driving forward making pullback difficult since they are backpedalling trying to maintain balance, and headbutt also happening.

[@monroekelly9064]

This guy is good and knows what he’s talking about.

[@wattlebough]

Monroe Kelly Any knife defence that involves attempting to grab the attackers wrist when the knife hand is in full motion is bad.

It also seriously risks the chance of the defenders thumb dislocating, with an attacker stabbing at full force. I respect this guy, but his technique will fail under pressure.

[@roundedges2]

+Iconoclasticnation The idea is not grab first but rather hit inside elbow with right forearm and only grab with left hand after this parry action stops the knife arm moving.

[@monroekelly9064]

Iconoclasticnation excellent point. But in watching his technique and approach I still think he’s the real deal. I admit I am somewhat biased, however. I study FMA myself and while stationed in Berlin years ago I sparred (boxing) with many members of the police. They were excellent fighters and I learned a lot.

[@TheSkullCrossbone]

@@wattlebough I feel the same but what is the alternative? Especially when the attack comes in like in the video there is no better move (I know). He is hitting his elbow into his arm and the left arm can protect your arm (which should always be a basic protection) and you still have a probability to catch the arm. Sure it will be hard and dangerous - like each knife defence.

[@yourfellowpilgrim]

There is one problem. A perso with a knife wont stab you that way. Real stabbing is like a boxer's punch. Thrust and pull.

[@andrewparry8439]

Correct

[@Quantum3691]

And slashing from all directions.

[@bobdownie.2806]

Incorrect. Most people who attack people with a knife are untrained, they are off balance, have poor timing, very predictable and usually drug or alcohol effected. Also, anyone who actually wants to kill you with a knife is angry and not acting with control. I have had 4 of my own students successfully defend against knife attacks and they did not even get a scratch on them. These were attacks in Papua New Guinea and psychiatric institutions. Of course a trained person with a knife is another story. People are the real weapons and everything else is an extension of them. Knives are very dangerous to deal with, there is no doubt about that, but untrained people are useless, armed or not.

[@yourfellowpilgrim]

@@bobdownie.2806 I see. Well I cant say this in general then. Here in my place people stab people differently.

[@COSMOTRON75]

I agree But any unarmed knife defense technique is a do or die situation I think? Where there is nowhere to run and no improvised weapons available. I think this technique is intended to be applied when the knife attacker is in the beginning of he's movement and you control of the knife arm before he can retract. It's one of the better techniques I have seen actually. But if you know of more realistic knife defense? Please give me a link.

[@marthaluntz1508]

after seeing this i practised it with a pvt class- interesting thing is it is easy to do- the hacking is vital- hit hard as one can -drive the shoulder and use head also-keep on till he is down and keep on distruction.

[@brendanbate5440]

Iconoclasticnation you sound like an expert so i wont argue with you. (I was just commenting on his teaching)

[@wattlebough]

Brendan Bate I wouldn’t say expert, but trained in edged-weapon defence. I’ve dislocated both my thumbs attempting to grab the knife hand in high intensity, high resistance training scenarios, and I’d have to say that having dislocated thumbs is one of my least favourite things. 😆 Are you training in something at the moment?

[@aspenrebel]

Also, good is to strike, with power, to 1) the shoulder joint (alot of nerves there and you may dislocate the shoulder); 2) right on top of the bicep (very painful and you may cause his entire arm to be unusable, he may drop the knife); and 3) right inside of his forearm there are alot of nerves right along the radial bone. If you strike hard, in the right place, it will cause a lot of pain and "tingling", and he will most likely not be able to maintain a grip on his knife. Also, if you are stopping him at his right wrist, on the inside, with your left hand, and his arm is somewhat straight, you can come behind his arm with your right arm (ridgehand) to his tricep tendon. In that way locking out his straight arm.

[@aspenrebel]

Also, one thing I like to do, if the situation is suitable, is to do a deflecting block over the top of the knife hand. Blocking down and across. Then do an immediate and very fast two finger poke to his eyes. If he can't see you, he can't get you. Then once you realize his eyesight is blurred, he is in pain, i.e. grabbing his eyes with his left hand .... RUN LIKE HELL!!!

[@diosdadoapias]

I think his knife defense is base on offense. He blocked the knife-hand to deflect the thrust of the knife while moving his body off the knife thrust direction ; and his other hand will grab also come to grab the knife-hand while his body and head continue forward to bulldozed and head bat the attackers breast and head then continue applying the technique- practical!

[@twitchydom8689]

This only works if your opponent actually goes for a telegraphed thrust with a knife.. if they go berserk on you, it will look a lot different. Watch some videos on what happens in drills where they train at full speed and the guy with the knife has no rules. Best thing to do is run if at all possible

[@ahilbilyredneksopinion]

Also, what about two wepon arms, the other hand is dangerous too.....your attacker leaves his other hand hanging.

[@gladius2489]

In the mean time his other hand is punching you in the back of the head or grabbing your throat

[@blue0eyes0knight]

you can disarm from the inside which means less total movements to complete take down and less chance the attacker can swap knife to the other hand. You can turn and crash your back into their front whilst controlling the arm then take down if required. Pressure tested it hundreds of times.

[@antoniodominguez3839]

Every day people die on the street, stabbed to death. That's why this should be part of our self defense training.

Suicide, nobody attacks like a robot when they have a knife! Gotta stop with this bullshit.

[@deafsmith1006]

I wonder if after you have grabbed his knife arm one (2:54) could do a modified Seoi-nage.

[@AirAdventurer194]

That's actually not half-bad; I give you 3/4 of a point (on a scale of 0-10). In the second half of the technique ("going to the outside line"), you should bring your left upper-arm (assuming a right-handed attack) under the attacker's right upper-arm to accentuate the shoulder and elbow joint lock-out. (Your English is stellar, BTW)

[@OrionPreparedness]

This is good information...but, this tactic seems to leave the Officer's weapon wide open on the initial contact being that the Officer's head and both arms are concentrated on one side of the body. Maybe I'm missing something.

[@elgatogordo9523]

My son and I are definitely going to practice this technique. Especially these days, you never know when a thug is willing to take your life for a $10 bill or less. I hardly ever carry cash in my wallet. I work the night shift near Los Angeles in a bad area filled with drug addicts and homeless zombies. This defense technique will come in handy 👍

[@wattlebough]

No, any knife defence that involves attempting to grab the attackers wrist when the knife hand is in full motion is bad. It will fail when the attacker pulls back for multiple stabs, because the thumb opening of the grip is facing the attacker and is therefore a weak point that makes it an easy grip to break. It also seriously risks the chance of the defenders thumb dislocating, with an attacker stabbing at full force. I respect the guy, but the technique will fail under pressure.

[@petersellers9944]

Iconoclasticnation he first blocks the attacker's forearm with his opposite forearm, then grabs the wrist.

[@wattlebough]

Peter Sellers Hi there, an important goal for the attacking training partner is to prevent the defender from getting control of his arm. The only way to register the techniques effectiveness is with the attacking training partner fully resisting the defenders technique. Each of the two participants in the drill must have opposing goals. This obviously applies in the more advanced stage of training, after the students have a solid handle on the technique.

[@aplesmith5544]

I would like to see this drill when the attacker really attacks and tries to stab and slash. Any attacker who knows what he's doing is going to react to the movements of his opponent, not simply carry on with the movement and conveniently stop when grabbed. Having said that, it's a better drill than some of the Krav Maga and Aikido crap that get's posted. And for police officers it could be useful for situational and awareness training, especially once the attackers really attack. But the same good be said for any training defense drills against punches and kicks. And some of the "blocks" for kicks that are on videos are useless and will get you hurt!

[@Kimchenery]

I would agree that trying to hold onto the wrist alone wont work, even with two hands, but he is controlling the ability of the attacker to pull back for a second attack by maintaining control of the opponents upper arm. Thats the key. With control of the weapon arm you can then attack him with other techniques.

[@wattlebough]

Kim Chenery My main gripe with going for the wrist grab is the high possibility of dislocating your thumbs and the degree of difficulty of catching the wrist under pressure, which is amplified in low light conditions.

[@talkingshizzz1145]

what if he had to puch with is left hand?

[@aspenrebel]

What? You train vs a right hand knife attack and a left hand attack, and even two knifes or whatever in both hands!! This video is only demonstrating some things.

[@kurtsteiner8384]

Hit first ask questions later. Did arm him always assume they are armed. Take up some martial arts, or army training will help.

[@AGC828]

Some good points in the comments. And while I'm no knife defence expert I know from listening to videos like this..that instead say NEVER go towards the incoming knife. ALWAYS side step first. Getting out of the path. This IS assuming the attacker has presented the knife. Other knife "experts" also say that in many real knife attacks you won't see the knife coming. There are those attackers that know to keep the knife hidden till the last moment. For example when struggling empty-hand...he reaches for the knife when occupied. A very high probability. And did they use a real metal knife here? Bit dangerous no? There's a "known" Filipino knife "expert" who does KZbin videos too. Teaches US law enforcement and US military....Doug Merchada (might have messed up the spelling of his last name). Look for Funker Tactical videos. And Kali/knife defence. Finally, these types of videos IMHO should NEVER be put on KZbin where kids will see them and try them. Thinking it's "fun and cool". Bound to happen. Kids will get injured. Might even use real knives.

[@zachariahz]

Man most of the comments here are nonsense. This technique where you drive in with the shoulder and trap the arm (same as some wrestling/judo etc. tie ups inside or outside) is one of the only viable ways to keep from getting stabbed with an implement. Is it perfect? No, but it's better than 90% of the made up knife defense out there. People would figure it out real quick just drilling it with rubber knives or markers from a "grab and stab", but then of course they'd have to actually try and do something instead of making dumb "what if" comments on youtube. Very few of these techniques are controversial at all and are similar to what you get when you drill live against someone with an implement, even people with little training. I don't buy the small joint stuff but other than that it's pretty reasonable, which people would know if their agenda was learning stuff and figuring out what's valid instead of talking shit. At least know enough to know what your are criticizing, crikey.

[@csuanfa]

And the attacker dont use his other arm?

[@aspenrebel]

What about 2 finger poke to eyes, or any strike to eye? Leopard's Paw straight to front of neck? Drop Kick, i.e. Instep Kick right to groin after you have stopped his attack? If he can't see you, he can't get you; If he can't breath, he can't get you; If he can't stand, he can't get you; If he can't DO, he can't get you. Funny, just the other night I saw this older TV movie, maybe from 1990 or something. This psycho killer got into apt of single mother and 14 yr old daughter. A bunch of scuffling went on for a bit. Then guy had girl in bedroom, standing near open door. The mother stabbed him in the back with a big knife, but didn't finish him. She went to daughter's aid. He got knife out and in his hand, and was going to attack mother. She sprayed him in eyes with pepper spray, so that halted him for awhile. But then, still not able to see well at all, he was slashing around in the air, with his left hand (she had stabbed him back of right shoulder), with great ferocity. Almost most cutting mother a number of times. But she picked up a baseball bat and kept hitting him in the head and body, until he went out the window. Point being, even if attacker is stabbed, blinded, bleeding, in pain, losing use of one arm, he can still be dangerous with a knife by slashing about. 2nd point .... FINISH him!!!!

[@fabianpatrizio2865]

I can only presume that you will be cut if in a knife fight. Regardless of whatever defensive technique you use. So stay in the fight.

If a criminal in America pulls out a knife, or any edged weapon, the policeman will pull his pistol, if available he will use a shotgun. Not good to bring a knife to a gunfight.

Three shots, three seconds and within 3 yards, or 2.75 meters. Take any shooting course in the USA and you will have instruction to practice this. Most people, police or civilian, cannot defend themselves. I've found that the problem is everyone tries to align their sights, front and rear. You cannot defend yourself by trying to get a proper sight alignment in 3 seconds. A better technique is Point Shooting. Point Shooting is extreamly fast. Sights on your pistol are not used. Look at the gunfighters of the American west during the 19th century, the 1800's. The days of Doc Holiday, Frank James and Jessie James. All the revolvers had a single front blade, no rear sight. Yet many were able to hit targets in 1 or 2 seconds. Would like to tell you how to Point Shoot, but not on KZbin. I'm not going to help the terrorists on this international forum. I often practice this technique. You can make head shots in the blink of an eye from a holstered hand gun. As to the marksmanship of American police, many police have a difficult time shooting the broad side of a barn with a shotgun. Why? Because of Affirmative Action. I saw news cast of four policemen in Compton California making an arrest of a violent gang member. They finally stopped this individual. Blocked him with a high street curb and both of their police cars. The gangbanger tried to escape by running over the policemen with a large SUV, a Chevrolet Suburban, possibly killing some of the police. All four policemen started to shoot in their self defense. 120 rounds were fired, only four hits. Two of the police were less than 12 inches from muzzle to target, 30.5cm. The other two were within four feet. 120 shots with only four hits. That's pathetic. Not all American police are like this. Notice Los Angeles, California area, New York City, and, Chicago, Illinois are in liberal states with very draconian and extremely restrictive gun laws. Most of the police in these areas never fired a gun until attending a police academy. Then try to become proficient in a few hours of basic instruction. Met a retired NYPD fire arms instructor that told me he was ordered to take the test for firearms qualifications for some of the students by his supervisors. Once again Afirmative Action.

[@konradrothenburger7078]

well dont police always have to have their gun on safe? in germany its even worse. unless in a "danger zone" no bullet is allowed to be in the chamber. i have seen police guys shoot worse with a gun than i do with an air rifle

[@phatkatmeowmeow]

The drill us nice but it leaves my firearm open

[@spartanwarrior1]

Nah. He misses one crucial aspect. The other hand!!!this way you end up mailed or worse, dead. Headhunting is the key.

[@1a-genekhylerivera709]

Cap America really? Would you want to prioritize with the non weapon bearing arm first? Choose one, get stabbed to death or be hit with an empty hand?

[@fernandosumatra9718]

Just contact us i will teach you free im a pilipino martial artist

[@freaki0734]

Nothing I see principally wrong here but I still see one big Problem which is that this is being taught as if it worked which it wont when it's not with the attacker doing his attack in slow motion and his arm extended far out from his body AND you seeing it coming! I don't know if it was mentioned before this drill (if so nvm) that running away is the first thing you should try and that almost always gives you the best chance of survival.

[@shawn9457]

U need to show this in real speed. What if the attacker swing his wrist that holding knife

[@TheSkullCrossbone]

swing his wrist?

[@shawn9457]

@@TheSkullCrossbone sorry I don't remeber what I wanted to say but maybe slash or switch........anyway you would get killed if you belive this technique. They should show this in real speed wearing white shirts and using a pen to mark on shirts if they get stabbed or not :) I am sure the coach will get lots of pen mark :)

[@لَاإِلَهَإِلَّاأَللهُ-ي7ب3ي]

Not safe he focus on the hand he hold on to but the other hand is open to move or make a counter attack or grab his jow or neck or eye so gor my comment is not safe very dangerous i think ill go to yhe outside position not in font why in outside position the other hand cant make a move or counter attack bcoz very far distance

[@gabbar51ngh]

no technique has ever worked. No one lunges at you with knife like that. They know they got the upper hand and play smart. What if it's a slice or attack from above or multiple stab attack where he moves the hands twice. These are just things which a non knife trained fighter could pull off. Best thing is to increase your flexibility and kick him to the chest face and if you are good maybe kick his hand. Any kind of attempt to grab his arm will result in cuts.

[@Kimchenery]

I would disagree. You must control the weapon arm. Trying to kick them or the knife will bring you forward and potentially onto the knife especially if you slip off the target. This guy has the right idea for the most part. His blocking and grabbing of the arm and then control of the arm is great. From there its about taking out your opponent while maintaining control of the arm.

[@gabbar51ngh]

Kim Chenery Yes because catching arms in mid air is so easy, Pretty sure if things worked that way Aikido would be most successful martial art in MMA. Gimme a knife and try to stop me, I would love to see how the hell you are gonna catch my hand before I cut you up. Even Filipino knife instructors wouldn't recommend this crap.

[@Kimchenery]

You are clearly not watching what he is doing. He isn't catching his hand in mid air. I totally agree with you on that principle and why I call BS on that just like you. He is controlling the guys upper arm to prevent him from pulling away for another stab and then using other techniques to take him out. Never go for the hand or knife ! you just wont catch it fast enough, on that point you are right.

[@gabbar51ngh]

Kim Chenery look closely. They are doing the same move and it wouldn't work if he is stabbing it slicing even a little bit differently. All these knife defenses are stupid In fact you will hurt yourself more by going close. Kicking his hand or chest seems to be much more efficient and allows you to pull back and run away too.

[@Kimchenery]

So you wake up to a noise and you leave your partner in bed and go out into the hallway to discover someone in your house and they have a knife. Your kids bedrooms are also off this hallway. You gunna run away? Some madman has grabbed your 5yr old kid in the mall and he has a knife, you just going to run away?. You are talking outside a club at night with some mates and some guy stabs you in the stomach and is about to stab you again. You just going to run away and hope you are faster than he is. OK..hopefully I have established that there are times when you might have to face a person who wants to stab you and running just isn't an option. Am i going to try and use those flash knife disarm techniques that I learnt at my club by someone who has never been in a knife fight, those same dumb techniques you see time and time again online? Or maybe I could learn from a long serving Police officer who has faced these situations all the time and has some good insight into what works and what doesn't? If I'm going to attack you with a knife I will hold onto you with my left hand and stab you like a sewing machine with my right. That knife hand is well protected from any kick. Johannes Renninghoff has some good ideas here and probably has a much better idea than most martial arts wanna bes and keyboard experts. If you knew anything about the grappling arts you would know that close is good and gives you much better control of your opponent. Telling people the best defence is just to try and kick the knife out of their hands will get them killed!

[@andrewarmstrong2649]

In Germany we say "Scheiß Bulle"

[@mexicovillage]

do this german instructor really train police officers to get killed easilly with knife? tell me in which countries he trained police, so i will not call police in these countries

And Who Attack dont used the left hand..stop 😠😠😠

[@nilo.niezki5843]

His technique by defending on knife attack used excessive force. If the attacker is bigger and more stronger than defender, his techniques will fail.

[@aspenrebel]

Best to let the attackers movement and motion go past you, i.e. go with the flow, go with the attackers direction .. then use it against him, counter it, lock him out and put him face down on the ground, and to a complete armlock/wrist lock. Remove knife, and wrap him up or knock him out. Then go home. Counter his force, weight and momentum with your own, like two bulls in a fight, is not a good idea. Plus what if you only have 2 feet between you and a wall? In either direction.
