How to DEFEND against WILD KNIFE Attack | Nick Drossos

[@taekwondomaster4609]

That was the most realistic self defense demonstration EVER!!!

[@melaniekelly1868]

Finally someone that trains knife realistically. We came to the exact same conclusion in our training

[@ISLANDOUTDOORS1]

Thank you to all involved in making this video. This is probably going to save someone's life. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

[@mrx2586]

You cant become capable of doing this just by watching a video. It requires lots of practice against a fully resisting opponent.

[@gann2001]

in a knife attack, the moment u in his melee range u already losing even before the attacker pull out his knife. Physical distancing attitude and discipline in this pandemic time is the perfect example how u should keep ur distance with strangers.

[@alilali313]

Great, the things shown are focused on reality and not any fancy fantasy stuff.

[@kravmagacaveira]

Thanks for Share this technique bro

[@gregblesch372]

If opponent has touched you in any way, you've already made a mistake of unawareness.

[@counterkidnapping1737]

We can't be aware 24/7/365.

[@thejookking]

Thx Captain obvious!!!

[@bishophollywood3309]

Great instructional video. Keep up the great work

[@kameelmohammed1259]

There are so many videos on knife defense, what I want to see is defense against long blade weapons like cutlass and machete. Attacks from these kinds of weapons are also real

[@mdub2000]

I think because the first defence is to run lol I mean with a sword or machete you don't stick around and if you have to you stay in long range...if you've watched real bolo vs bolo vids you'll see they all stay long range and then jab when they think they have an opening.

[@shanineblancatuyaycastor7428]

Yes specially in the phillipines

[@roy-batty]

The moment you see a fucking machete you'll be shitting bricks and running faster than your legs.

[@thejookking]

@@roy-batty Thx but if you have no option but to stay and fight, let's concentrate on actual defense techniques.

[@nortesur9504]

I'm from Colombia and some farmers fight each other with machete. I never saw something like that because I'm a city man but believe me you need to be a great fighter to face something like this.

[@brianniedzialek7110]

Thank you sir for sharing your knowledge..u r a bad ass..

[@CH-tg6zq]

This is a great video. So many videos do not show how to deal with the leveraging arm.

[@billslayer1175]

And neither does this video! It's not showing any practical way to deal with it. One way...and this will be tough to explain with the written word. Trap his grabbing hand with your same hand (in this case trap with your own left hand), step back with your left foot (gaining distance and allowing for a bit of off lining). Then use your right arm sort of like a down block/inside block (think of a karate type movement). But you are not striking to injure his arm...you want to gain a leverage point on his arm. Now drop your weight (all these moves basically happen together). You are now pulling him forward AND downward and pitching him into the ground. He'll need to brace his knife hand on the ground in order to not smash his face into the ground. Then kick him in the head!

[@dennisrobinson8008]

Do low leg kicks provide enough separation to be safe?

[@laurabarkus4282]

Ok. I have a stupid question: should I keep my eye on the weapon to try to keep it away, all the while trying to force him into defensive mode with my other arm? Is there a way to redirect the knived arm energy for control?

[@soegitohartanto1989]

Good question never focus on knife but try out of line try to get behind him because knife attacck is difficult to predict.

[@marquanbrand-moorehead3897]

My boy Nick drosses

[@jayare6872]

It would be fun to see a knife defense instructor, and a knife attack instructor, try to demonstrate to us witch would be the winner of the confrontation! I bet it would go back and forth, back and forth, in the " what if " game! :).

[@hanumansrivijaya]

Thank You, Sir, many valuable advises in this video, here are my thoughts since most victims didn't see the knife ( dim light and tunnel vision) should we have the same MO for unarmed and armed attack? (quicker for the brain if it only has one same answer to different threat) positioning oneself outside his forward foot (angling) in either a matching or mirror stance, matching stance allows the "Thai roundhouse low-kick behind the knee but in a crushing fashion" of his forward leg thus turning the hip line and the shoulder line, or applying Hubud-Lubud to his reaching forward arm to take the outside line...

[@antonispapadatos8780]

Όπως πάντα, ΔΥΝΑΜΗ ο Κύριος Νίκος !!!!

[@verveblack]

Good video, but can you do a video on how to use a penknife to defend myself? Not a smart idea but for in an emergency...

[@mnastreeservice]

Good video guy's 👍

[@hide1986]

was just thinking about this topic. Thanks! will some eye jabs help??

[@complexblackness]

I would definitely try it and anything else.

[@journeyman1218]

Eyes, balls, whatever. Someone produces a knife it's a life threatening situation. If you can't get away nothing is off limits. Unless you want stabbed.

[@scottnever8732]

in reality by the time you realise you have been grabbed (being unexpected) he has stabbed you 6 or 7 times

[@billslayer1175]

Don't let reality get in the way of making a video to show people what a bad ass knife defense expert you are. Nothing he's showing is going to work...it's all classroom bullshit!

[@itsmeseventy7480]

U guys didn't listen to him

[@landenjones9374]

@@billslayer1175 says the guy who like his own comment

[@landenjones9374]

He literally says at 4:25 don't let the guy pull out the knife grab you and start stabing you before you start doing something because by the time you start reacting the guy with the knife probably has stabed you 4 to 5 times by then this just go's to show you didn't watch the video all the way through or just didn't pay attention to what he said

[@GeorgeJansen]

I noticed his left knee is forward also... Possible kick snap to the left knee?!

[@carlpayne2664]

It is a good technique base on reality.

[@counterkidnapping1737]

This is my nightmare

[@vyr1316]

How to SURVIVE a knife attack: throw grit in their eyes and run.

[@doctormcgoveran2194]

great video I say the grab and stab as more of a read over the shoulder and pull you to the knife this is different thanks..

[@billslayer1175]

Why are you just standing there in front of a guy holding a knife???? If you see the knife...either get outta there or hit him before he can begin his attack. You're allowing him to dictate the situation (time of attack and also the range).

[@itsmeseventy7480]

U can't run if he grabs u

[@stanlim9182]

Momentum : *p= m ν* (Newton•second)

[@carlpayne2664]

In that moment once you trap his arm with the knife,I can see that his legs are open for groin kicks while maintaining control of his arm with the knife. May be he will drop the knife,if you continue groin kicks while maintaining control the arm holding the knife. Just saying from self experience.

[@John-ee8wm]

Was in one knife fight... Selling a motorcycle this guy put a knife to my throat from behind... Had given him a ride on it... He wanted to take it for a ride himself... So used the bike to pull him over since he was bigger by about 30 lbs... Got the knife down to my chest... He then tried to stab me in the chest so rerouted it into his own arm...

How would you fare in the stab room? kzbin.info/www/bejne/qmeciYB4YrV8hK8
