In the real world you just don't take out only the knife, that's what makes this scene implausibly complicated. In the real world where you can also hit and stun your opponent, it wouldn't take that long. The real world is far more brutal, more scary especially when you felt that the walls are closing in behind. Real FMAs are not for shows.

Two BADASSES Being BADASSES Train yes !!! reality PRAY YOUR NOT PREY . GREAT VIDEO 👍

[@wretchedone2970]

Ok ty for this video. But I just have to give my two cents. I was personally stabbed with a machete here in Oak Cliff Tx. A suburb of Dallas the hood'. It was in 1993. I was fighting with multiple men and the man stabbed me in the back with a machete. It was an excruciatingly painful. I ended losing my left kidney, my lung collapsed and I lost a third of my pancreas. The thing is, many fights on the street come from behind. That's real world. Real killers come with knife out and when your not looking. I was 23 and so I was blessed to be young and strong then. But it took a long time to recover. Over a year with a bag attached to my pancreas. Could you guys do a video on defending from behind. Most hits in prison come from behind, and usually to the neck. Thank you for this video and God bless everyone. John 3:16. He is Returning soon!

[@BMW_DAILY]

Appreciate the story, if the channel could do this that would be amazing

[@nikolairose2739]

Sucks you got fd like that but I don't believe there's a legit way. Cuz simply we don't have eyes on the back of our heads. At most you can only wish to have Supreme reflexes to react in time to avoid deadly injury.

[@wretchedone2970]

I grew up in Oak Cliff. I'm Mexican American, my neighborhood is mostly Mexican. Imagine East L.A but in the South. I have lived here all my life. I have seen it go from bad to worse to pretty decent. Now you have the yuppies coming in and taking their slice. You know, near downtown. It seems in all large cities you'll see gentrification. But yes I was in my neighborhood. But I should have been more aware. It was my fault for not paying attention. And I didn't see the knife. My friend told me he saw it. And there was multiple people fighting. It wasn't unusual to see brawls, shootings, drive bys and such. I saw a guy get killed at the age of 14. I've known many people who were killed at a young age. I think knowing how to defend yourself helps. But I also believe you should always be armed. I've known quite a few people been robbed at gun point. And ironically it's always us minorities doing it to each other. I was also no saint. Back then I was no good. I thank the Lord God Almighty for saving me. Jesus is the real deal. I hope this clears up some things. God bless everyone.

[@stopasking9745]

Unless you got reflexes like Roy Jones jr. You're kind of fuked there's nothing you can really do to defend against that

[@bernardotorres2532]

I was a black belt in Judo when I was young and I can see how useful it is to be well acquainted with judo or a similar martial art to understand what was happening in that video , due to the fact that it was as a close distance fight that the encounter took place. I was kind of shocked with the “blade switch” because not being at all acquainted with knife fighting I did not expect it, and I thought it was lethal because when the Judo and Jiu Jitsu fighter was about to have control of the knife wielding hand, the knife fighter just switched his his blade to the other hand and that was kind of a shock .

I personally love doing this kind of exchange with my friends during training. Afterwards, we usually go through it slower to see where we can improve and gain control earlier. Of course this shows why it's so dangerous to deal with a hostile knife situation and why it's always better to run away if possible. Respect for both of you for getting ego out of the way to find the best way to deal with such situations and situational awareness.

But it is your attitude, towards yourself and others, that displays an unmistakable integrity and an awareness that you, like all of us, don't know it all, won't always win and therefore should stay current with training, fitness and proper mindset. You are a credit to the martial arts and, frankly, to humanity. Peace out --

The Active Self Protection channel shows a lot of real life incidents caught on camera and something I've noticed is that in really effective knife defense, they *don't* fixate on the hand with the knife but rather the leveraging arm and use that to slam the aggressor face-first into the pavement; just something I've noticed - I'm in *NO* way an expert of any kind! EDIT: Typos and edited for clarity

[@LosAngeles10-33]

3nertia I would say that any knife-wielding opponent with grappling experience would easily take advantage of an adversary that fails to defend the knife-side hand. A lot of real life incidents of knife-wielders occur with untrained fighters, so it may work, but I wouldn’t bank on it.
