I love how twice during the live demos, mike tried to throw a monkey wrench, and Aaron was sooooo ready for it. He reacted immediately both times and showed how to counter the counter. that's how you know what they're doing is real. You don't see other people do demos where the attacker actively tries to throw monkey wrenches into the demo without the instructor knowing about it, and the instructor being able to go with the flow and still win the interaction.

[@hard2hurt]

@@Camm604 he meant monkey wrench as in in the end of the video as the instructors are showing their examples Mike was doing random changes through the manuever that would mix up the situation, and the guest wound up winning the interactions anyway by putting mike on his head to the canvas, showing he was winning those interactions even tho it got randomized a.k.a (throwing in monkey wrenches) :)

My cousin was always doing self defence classes. He had reasonably good boxing and judo as well. A guy pulled a knife on him and went to stab him. He was thought to trap the knife and establish a dominant position which also includes head position. He clashed with the guy so hard looking for the head position he basically headbutt him and the dude was super dazed. Ran away and called the cops. Moral of the story is these situation are super unpredictable but head position is key💪

There is no dishonor in running from a lethal weapon....This is merely good sense

[@cloroxusthestainlessone4324]

There's nothing wrong if you're a fast runner. I've watched multiple lethal stabbings and Joe on the street (think your typical person, if you have a wide selection then you get the picture) ends up dead on the floor from running away. I'm not saying stay and fight goes any better for them. Most stabbings in my area (country really) are up close and cramped, not just on the street or with wide open spaces to move let alone run (bars, pubs, alleys, crowds outside clubs). The stabbings committed in the street are usually what I'm going to call "flash stabbings" where the time to react prior to being stuck is near impossible. Usually done by people jumping off the back of mopeds or getting out of the back of a car. Mostly at night but we had a bloke quite literally carve his missus up outside of a corner shop, in the middle of the day. So aye I'm not saying don't run by any means, I'm just trying to say there's a very high likelihood you're just going to die tired

[@staysafemartialarts]

Another great video, and even more great information from Aaron. He is full of knowledge, and one that heavily pressure tests his material as you can see based off his reactions. I actually pressure tested most of what was discussed in this video with my students after a high school fight took place in which the attacker was grabbing and stabbing another student. I stand by Aaron statements that the focus will shift between the grabbing arm and the attacking arm, depending on various variables. The important part as a student is to practice and get comfortable with switching between the two. Great content as always

[@hard2hurt]

Yeah Aaron is the real deal.

[@forliberty47]

Its great that Aaron calls you out when you say its never going to happen like this, saying mostly not but that he'd posted a video of that situation recently. I constantly see people saying it will or wont happen like xyz and then I find videos of knife attacks where that situation does occur. People need to spend time reviewing the videos of actual knife attack videos that are out there as it seems most attacks are described in a way that allow the technique the instructors are describing to work.

[@scottgill2643]

Last time I saw a talk on knife defense, it was Metatron telling me to wear Chainmail. The wisdom bestowed for it was that if we're ever in a knife fight, we're gonna get stabbed, and this is the only way to stop it from being really awful.

[@zshakur]

Love the snap down. I appreciate you guys focusing on one main concept with 2 techniques that can be drilled easily. Good for novices on up. Thanks.

[@jaysess3806]

My thoughts on this: 1. immediately break one's grab regardless if you see a weapon in his other hand or not. 2. Move your body in line with the force of the grabbing arm in order to dissolve it: if he pulls, push yourself and defend against the knife; if he pushes, pull yourself and attack the grabbing arm.

[@patfontaine5917]

We were taught in the Marines that while the hand may hurt you, the knife can kill you. If possible, ignore the grab hand and focus on the knife hand. But if you must address the grab hand, you MUST be prepared to quickly transition to defending/defeating the knife. It may not have to be a direct contact with the knife - a good blow to the throat, popping of the ears, etc, can often cripple your opponent such that you can take them. As always, overwhelming violence of action works in your favor.

[@stevecinneide8183]

don't they still teach people how to shoot in the Marines? Why the fuck would I waste time doing any of that crap when I can just shoot the attacker? Fights happen too fast to risk jabbing someone in the ears or eyes. I'd rather just pull out a gun on my hip and end it right there. If they have a fat neck jabbing them there isn't going to do any good.

[@patfontaine5917]

@@stevecinneide8183 such an ignorant amateur. The dynamics of in close fighting say that a person with a knife who is within 21 feet of you can kill you before you can respond with a gun. Yes, it’s that fast. Good luck in trying to kill an attacker within that distance. For those who know, use overwhelming force to take them down. I hope you never have to ‘waste time doing any of that crap’… but also hope you wake up and realize that the enemy has a vote as well. Good luck.

[@reginaldwelkin]

[@aturogs1954]

This is the most sensible presentation of how to defend against a knife attack. The discussion on the realism is the most important topic that all must learn about. Real knife attackers, as has been proven in many cctv footages, will not stop at whatever you do to defend yourself. And will not wait for you to do that.

[@d3javu1985]

[@edi9892]

4:23 my first thought was to bow low to hyperextend the holding arm. You'd really need to be fast, or hold it in place, but the latter would be very risky. BTW: the fencing stance only occurs when the attacker fears a counterattack, be it a melee weapon, or someone who can really hit hard...

I've NEVER been grabbed- ever. never been choked, grabbed, or anything like that- it has never happened to me. (not saying it doesnt' happen- just never has to ME).. and looks like a great job of training for this.. Wish I could have seen that years ago.. I'm not out where I need that any more. (too bad a shape to use it anyway).. GREAT video and thanks for making that plain to folks that MIGHT need it. I've been in the jungles, deserts, in gang fights in downtown LA and other bad areas-with single and multiple attackers.. all kinds of areas- and as I said NOT ONCE did I get grabbed.. ever. The only guy ever to choke me--regretted it terribly (and he was a "friend" that was more or less joking-- which I found out AFTER he did it).. which is why I said it never happened-- not on the streets, or anywhere for REAL..

Damn this is good stuff. Glad I found this channel. We always teach in Classic Krav Maga here that you either do one thing right of many things half assed. That's why it's always block, then action. Never block and action the same time. Always better to give your 100% on one thing and then switch to another.

[@user-vl3tm4co4b]

Best explanation I heard till now and I heard many!

[@ACCool78]

Great ideas! My 1st move may be eye jab, end threat. Gotta change attackers brain from attack to defense. If he's grabbing shirt, I put index finger over middle finger of right hand, go over top of his left arm&put 2 fingers thru his eye. That ends threat. Even if I miss the eye, he sees my fingers coming for his eye&his brain is still switched to defense&he'll move trying to avoid it. Then sweep the leg or do many other opportunities that split second distraction gave you time to do.

[@henryb6009]

I was also thinking of something similar. I would use the impulse of a massive slap on the eye(s) passing my right arm over the oponent's holding arm, and with the same rotating movement escape in opposite direction

[@FaithRox]

Just a general thought, I've always considered a kimura grip on the knife arm as the most effective thing to do if you have to engage someone with a knife. I feel like it breaks the posture of the knife arm from being able to thrust and it keeps the knife relatively away from you, plus you can destroy the arm or force them to drop it. Anyone any thoughts on this?

[@buildinsilence]

yeah a kimura trap would probably be ideal tbh

[@hard2hurt]

It's strong. It has it's own set of pros and cons. Some people are really good at it... some people struggle.

[@mraBJJ33]

Committing two hands to one of theirs is great offensively but leaves you open defensively maybe? He has a free hand to do other damage to you, and if you get knocked unconscious who cares how long you controlled or damaged the knife weilding hand, he can calmly pick the knife up and carve his initials and date into your left ass-cheek (don't ask me why that's the outcome)

[@jamiancarreon9896]

This is a great video. Love your terminology and use of words 😆

[@vangen08]

What exactly did you learn here?

[@nationalforcetrainingacademy]

If you rotate your right shoulder to grab behind the elbow with your right hand to prevent multiple stabs while using your left arm to trap or redirect the blade offline, you can defeat the grab and get into a position to destroy the arm holding the knife.

[@SpoonMann]

Just run away isn't an option for everyone. If you're like myself, you're slower than most people. So even if I can break to run, I cannot out run. So I've gotta train to always engage the threat.

[@mrx2586]

That's why you strike first - hopefully stop the attacker coming after you for long enough. Also remember that not many attackers will bother to chase you for very long and running if you can't outrun them can still be used to get to a place of safety or at least a more preferable location to be attacked.

[@skunkworks9391]

cool stuff, try throwing your right arm over the grab but instead of going for a grab break, go straight for the 2 on 1. It moves you off-line and gives you an angled attack to the knife arm.

[@aetius2277]

great video ty !

[@stephenjung6582]

The technique that I have been taught and that works extremely well is to grab the wrist of the grabbing arm with your opposite hand as you grab that same arm just above the elbow step in and turn (ten kan) the opposite leg slides back and the attacker is slammed into the ground best case or rendered helpless by the extremely painful control or breaking of the grabbing arm.

[@liamcage7208]

One of the best practical knife defense strategies I have seen in decades.

[@dariosilva85]

The arm with the knife is ALWAYS TOP PRIORITY. Because that arm could kill you in a second.

[@mofogie]

No matter what tactic you use, never let that knife hand attack freely. There will be many variations of this attack, like bent horizontal elbow, which could allow for an elbow pass, or collar tie, but NEVER EVER let that knife attack without interruption

[@Platinum1812]

Any thoughts on a throw using the grabbing arm and turning away from the knife? I don't like the idea of losing track of the knife but I'm curious.

[@bombadillo6810]

Trick question. You need to track the knife and disengage the grapple. Both are equal threats.

[@majorphenom1]

Thanks for sharing 🙏🏾

[@plamenlakov598]

[@dragonslayerslayerdragon5077]

From the positions in the thumbnail, I'd pivot on my right heel, dropping my left foot back behind it and turning my hips out while capturing high on the sleeve of the arm he reach for me with and pulling it down. This will make his knife hand go as far off target as possible and he'll have two choices: raise the knife arm for balance, b/c you don't try to post a hand holding something to catch yourself OR to drop the knife so he can post a hand and catch himself. If our body mechanics are such that the initial pull doesn't floor him, I'd then go for the knife arm directly or quickly after taking his back, before he can try to gouge me over his shoulder or with a chicken wing.

[@The-Contractor]

Only had the misfortune of being attacked by a knife wielder twice so I'm not an expert in the matter. Both times I got cut or stabbed. It's fast, far faster than believed, and the stabs/cuts come from all angles. A knife is a "touch" contact weapon and doesn't require much in the way of strength to do real damage. An average person can close with a knife and make contact from a distance of 21 feet faster than most people can draw a handgun and fire one shot with anything like accuracy. That's why nation wide most Police Departments have increased the "safe distance" to 30 feet regarding a knife wielder. Old School: "Attack a gun, run from a knife."

I just wanted to comment on the beginning of the video when you said no one would ever come in with that straight to the midsection thrust. It did happen to me about 20 years ago.
