[@rabukan5842]

Trained with the IDF commandoes back in the first intifada in the 1980s. This is exactly how we trained. We walked away sore, bruised, bloody, and always in pain. But it looked like this demonstration. We were told, "No stop and go. No posing. No pre-planning." All attacks came from nowhere, and what we were taught the most was to go inside, even though we knew we would be cut. Wrap with one hand, inflict pain to the vital points with the other. No two attacks are the same, so why train the, "What ifs?" Everything is a what if, so the only technique to use is the one that works in that particular moment. Excellent lesson here. Heed it well.

[@revmarcell6449]

I thought I was trained until I was cut by a 15 year old who was “blooding in” to a gang. I walk with a cane and carried both a can of pepper spray and a pistol for self defense. I was distracted and totally engaged in what I was doing. I noticed the kid all in red looking at me from across the street. I ignored him. I felt an electrical type of sting on my left arm. He was slashing at me and I got cut, very badly cut. He looked away for a fraction of a second. I was able to smack him with my cane but he then cut me again. It was over in seconds. My martial arts, my weapons my situational awareness all were of no use. My cane , necessary for walking, undoubtably made the attack stop. If my attacker’s intent was murder he could have easily stabbed me in a vital spot. As it was I needed 67 stitches to close my wounds. All of my training failed because I was not aware of my surroundings.

Saw this over a year ago. Still one of the best and realistic knife defenses I have ever seen. Great job guys

[@ETBrooD]

It's not that realistic actually. In a real knife fight, the defender should stay as far away as possible, and if somehow the attacker gets this close, that means it's almost game over. I'm not kidding, at that range you're as good as dunzo. Of course this video is still a little bit useful because you should never give up, but really this scenario shouldn't happen. Unless perhaps if you're trying to protect someone else, then you might have to engage like that. Always keep your eyes open and never, I mean NEVER engage in a knife fight unless you're protecting someone else. Otherwise always run away, 100% of the time.

You realize that the guy in the red shirt is doing aikido when he's successful... the other times he's messing up big time by standing in front of the attacker. First rule: GET OFF THE LINE OF ATTACK DO NOT STAND IN FRONT OF A GUY WITH A KNIFE! I knew you'd love the fact that he's doing almost pure aikido. The whole thing about locking his arm under his armpit isn't going to work, the attacker is going to punch you in the face and if the attacker is bigger it wont work at all. The only thing that works with knives is GET OFF THE LINE. Don't try this at home.

Ok, I will say if someone has a knife and it's available, try the stuff ur talking about, but please don't rely on it. Several of my "I'll just bite him/kick in groin/poke/gouge his eyes out" friends thought it would work, until they hit someone and realized just trying to use pain doesn't help against someone on an adrenaline rush. One guy tried it, it didn't work, then ran away when it didn't, leaving another one of my friends to get beaten up by 3 guys, long story short he almost got blinded in one eye. Don't rely on just ball punches, eye strikes and biting, it'll work very seldom.

I did a lot of studying on knife defense for a project in highschool law class, focused on prison shankings, and found that using that cross block like he shows you have roughly a 47% chance of not getting stabbed, per stab...also one of my teachers said that was a really bad statics because 47% isn't much, but my other teacher who is an auxiliary police officer said it was a really good one

That's the point, once you are in such a situation, most mistakes have already been made. What they show here is making the best out of a bad situation. Then 47% is quite good.

[@hzjhk]

One of the first lessons we learned during self defence class was that when someone attacks you, you need to have the mentality prepared to get hurt. That's not blindly taking damage, you need to have self preserverance, but if you are always worried about getting hurt, you will automatically become scared. The techniques showed in this video is very practical. The two thumbs down grab is amazing.

Why are so many people oblivious to evil on this planet? All human flesh, all animals flesh and all plant life/the earth, is CORRUPT via SIN long ago. Humanity has not been restored yet. That's why Evil is everywhere. People kill everyday. And any human can kill, no matter if they have any training or not. And espeially if you put certain NEGATIVE VARIABLES in someone's life. For example; them facing financial problems, cheating husband/wife, loss of job/kids, etc etc, are all negative variables and people will kill or severely hurt someone over these certain negative variables going on in their life. Money, sex, drugs and most people's lack of knowledge on how demons operate via our minds airwaves are the number one reasons why people kill. Demon operate and manipulate any airwave cause they are principalities of the air. And our minds function through the airwaves. But most people dont realize humans can be UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF DEMONS just as we can be UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF DRUGS and ALCOHOL. People who kill or hurt with the intent, are ALWAYS UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF DEMONS. Most cops and sadly most psycologist dont know this. But these people just need to be DELIVERED IN THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST and they'll go back to normal, not have pills shoved down their throats. All mental illness comes from demons messing with your mind. Focus on Jesus and they'll leave you alone. And remember demons SHUTTER and TREMBLE at the name of Jesus Christ. They are TERRIFIED of Him and us Christians because we know the knowledge that Jesus is our LITERAL WEAPON AGAINST ANY EVIL JUST BY SAYING HIS NAME AND CALLING UPON HIM. Our cops, and our investigating agencies need to wake up and so do our psycologist, "who study the human soul" bc they have no idea how demons work and they should because they study the human soul. Just sad.

as both a marine grunt, and Kali/silat practitioner... and one who's been in a few scuffles, you touched on the main points; fights do not go in slow mo, do not stop until YOU stop them, and are NEVER fair. I do have to admit, I've never stopped to consider the above or below 90 degrees before. THAT was an amazing insight, and really does lend credence to the 4,5,8,12 angle systems. I think with my students, I'll continue the various angles, solely to keep tradition alive, and show the various things one does with each angle, THEN as they advance, break into the above or below 90 concept, so they can get a real appreciation for everything else they've learned and put the pieces together much faster. THAT, is brilliant. post script; I find people that delve into "what if" have never actually been in fight scenarios before. That isn't a bad thing either... it just gets annoying really. What if? answer: what happens, happens, and you deal with what you have at that moment, while praying for the best. I always tell people who ask about knife techniques one common thing regardless of their fantastical scenarios; if a knife is involved you have two guarantees. 1) you will bleed, and 2) there WILL be legal consequences.

This guy's reactions are just killing me dude lmfao. Very realistic video though, it really debunks these what-ifs you get when training martial arts.

[@VikingVic76]

Great job guys thanx for putting in the work for our benefit. Much love from Tx.

[@qualityguy8186]

Dude's arm was never the same after this demo.

[@calvinpennix4987]

Damn you went and found the guy who trained John Wick😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂stay away from guys with military haircuts

[@4waySaline]

I've watched this video five times now. You guys are like two brothers, both very skilled, scrapping it out. I love it. Thank you for posting this.

[@iamwhoimnotimnotwhoiam4431]

my shoulder hurts just watching this guy cop your arm around. Your vids are so informative man. Thank you for sharing!

[@billytmorris]

One of the best and realistic lessons I have seen in awhile! Thank you!

[@biteme4573]

gentlemen.. im 46 and ive been teaching martial arts and combat tactics since i was 16... now that has been said.. im am very impressed.. this is one of the ONLY videos i have ever seen let alone on YOU TUBE.. that show and handle the situation as it is in real life.. no joke.. if you want to defend yourself against a bladed attack. you better watch this video again and again and again.. this will give you some of the tools you might need to save your life. OF COURSE THE BEST ACTION TO TAKE IS TO DEFUSE THE SITUATION.. NOT TO BE IN THE AREA WHEN SOMETHING LIKE THIS UNFOLDS... CONTROL THE OPPORTUNITY AND IT WONT HAPPEN.

[@ottomanpapyrus9365]

I was walking once and a group of guys (about 4-5) walking the opposite direction (they were about 20 feet away). I know the area very well so I just pretended I was going through this side road. I walked over the street casually and calmy and outplayed the opportunity.

[@Zzzinnn]

Sure thing buddy

[@metamorphicorder]

@@ottomanpapyrus9365 i was in the bad part of town once. Walking to the store for smokes. I was i a large median on an avenue. For no reason i could discern somone crossed one side to the median and 'lock stepped' behind me. 30 feet or so but thats pretty close if one breaks into a run. Lock stepping is another way of saying i thought they were pacing me or trying to follow and close distance unnoticed. Staking prey in other words. The kind of thing that stalk predators do to gazelles and such. Well im no gazelle. I dont run. Im not really built for it or on the shape for it. More like a gator or croc. I will snap on you and drag you down and twist around until one of us drowns. So after about 4 or 5 steps of this, i was like fuck it, i turned around mid step and bee lined right at the guy. Didnt say shit. No gestures no nothing. Just walked hard at him like even if i ran into him i didn't have plans to stop. He crossed back to where he cam from. I turned back and went on my way.

[@ottomanpapyrus9365]

@@metamorphicorder He probably forgot who his mom was for a few seconds there.. this story highlights if you act like a prey then expect to be hunted.. most interesting story.

[@bikersoncall]

There's no substitute for seeing a live clip of a successful escape from a knife, but this is gold, among the 'demonstration' clips, most of them out there are complete bs.

[@dowayigu1277]

Funker Tactical is no joke😎 all tips and moves is direct and deadly real life saving. real situation stops in split seconds no bells no room for thinking strictly to engage in or out! I salute😊

[@wendelgyutb]

That was really the best video about knife defence i've ever seen, congratulations, i'm really thankful, and please still doing It good!!

[@mr.clickable3899]

i watched once a good knife defense video . The guy after several years of training said there is now knife defense vs skilled knife user . you can't get out from the knife fight without being scratched or cut . he said either he will stab you and knife will end in your knee either he is not a good knife user. Imagine this marine attacking you with his knife , would you try to lock his arm ? that would be a suicide.

[@wauzers]

Fck angles of attack. The attacker already one. He closed the distance. Best defense. Get distance or die.

[@chittybump]

Wendel Gomes hell yea it was a awesome .

[@Fordeyyyyy]

Same thought, as an inexperienced fighter this was really informative!

Awesome. Very straightforward makes a lot of sense. Thanks GN and guest.

[@apekmaks80]

u guys are awesome, i'm going to start working as a close protection officer soon, this video is really helpful, the most realistic knife defense training i've ever seen....thank you so much

[@jackwilson6467]

One of the best instructional clips on KZbin. Practical stuff, well demoed.

[@roberts7107]

This is one of the best instructional videos I have seen. The other is gun guy vs knife guy. Great stuff.

[@Boondocksaint1PSN]

One of the best videos I have seen, lots of practice and muscle memory there. Wow, thank you guys for doing this video and going full speed.

[@frozenthrone6458]

I really appreciate this guy bringing up the point of using both hands in an attack. Skilled people can use all four limbs efficiently and that can make the struggle for life real hard. Especially when they're really hard to grapple.

[@jeffreybarlow6024]

This is my all-time favorite knife video. Basic, no bullshit, principle-based training brilliance.

[@jeffreyp1957]

Some of the BEST knife defense techniques ever.MOST that you see on YT would get you killed.Keep up the good work!

[@DonTHEhandsome1]

Most realistic training video Ive seen so far. Boxers, BJJ and TKD practitioners at some point put on some protective gear and hit each other full force to practice their techniques. Self defense skills should be done that way also. Love it

[@Osprey1994]

You clearly don't train BJJ. Maybe it was just my gym but not going 100% at some point was rare. Most of the time white belts will try to strength their way out of situations, and it leads to some legit rolling. Blue belts are usually a bit more restrained, purple and above are monsters and are going to shut you the fuck down. The thing about BJJ is unlike boxing, Must Thai, etc the degrees of harm range significantly. Most of the time the goal is to lock the technique in, but if someone doesn't tap out you can start applying that technique. Also it's really fun to combine BJJ with striking so our gym regularly threw gloves on.

[@mr.q337]

Have u seen Muay Thai training?

[@discipleofkhorne9472]

OspreyBravo18 You didn't read his comment properly, he said that BJJ practitioners DO go full force at some point.

[@rman1572]

DonTHEhandsome1 yea men, you can't relay on anything if you haven't tested it properly, lots of people get hurt for training without sparring.

[@CrazyHead884]

DonTHEhandsome1 i do TKD and we actually do nothinf about protection gear because you also dont have protection out there. And that really makes you stronger as a fighter!

[@Refractarioinsurgent]

[@johnbravo1034]

Good job, as always. I love seeing different methods based on the life experiences & knowledge of others. Thank you.🙏🏼

[@desbennett9839]

Nice to see things done in real time with some real intensity. It's a nice change from the stop motion animation we are used to in instructional videos.

[@FunkerTactical]

Des Bennett ouch. Stop motion animation. #ShotsFired

[@desbennett9839]

Funker Tactical - Fight Training Videos Not your channel obviously, I'm referring to other KZbin content

[@7dayspking]

I saw intensity, I didn't see an attack. I saw one thrust and then letting the other man do his demonstration. Every nonsense martial arts demonstration ever has been conducted this way. Go look at the Wing Chun or Kung Fu demonstrations, always the master 'exploding' with intensity on a completely static attacker. The only reason I care is because it was claimed in the video there would be a real attack.

[@Lotusutra1]

Are you saying that everything that was displayed in this video has no real world validity? He did get stabbed once (with a metal training knife) but kept fighting! I'm an overnight security guard. I train Kung Fu. Kung Fu is not magic. I once took a guy down like this video. The guy, sneakily, tried to stab me in the face with a pen. It was pure reaction on my part. I don't even know what I did. My training just came out. Next thing I knew I was breaking his arm on the ground and he was screaming. I think the Marine /Cop has great experience and wisdom that can be of benefit. "The fight moves, we move!" :)

[@jerryguerra348]

Best video yet. Good training instruction. What we need to see. KISS training. Real training.

[@instructorlex8273]

I’m impressed. I learned knife defense from a former marine and police officer who was also an accomplished martial artist. I value the techniques and believe them to be much better then many. This video was very good and I appreciate the sharing of knowledge.
