As a former military and security guard I can pretty much guarantee a certain death if you attempt these techniques. Not that you'll ever get the chance since absolutely no one attacks like that...

[@TheMegazaya]

I'm not military trained but I think they would work if the attacker doesn't know how to use a knife, but someone good with a knife and I would agree with you that the defender is in trouble. I think these self defence drills give you a chance but Its best to run if you can or be street wise and stay away from the high crime areas.

@@TheMegazaya I don't think you need training with a knife to do tremendous damage or cause death, these techniques are useless against untrained knife welder or otherwise. (

[@TheMegazaya]

@@franciscogonzalezramirez5033 You are probably correct in what you say sir, but what is the alternative? A more effective martial art for knife defence. Some training would be better than none at all.

[@franciscogonzalezramirez5033]

@@TheMegazaya I think no training is just the same as bad training. There's better options for knife self defense than what they do in TKD

[@TheMegazaya]

@@franciscogonzalezramirez5033 I agree this is not the best. Its also what I have been taught in Taekwondo. In Taekwondo 1st lesson... If a place has a bad reputation for knife attacks, don't go there! 2nd lesson... if someone is threatening you with a knife. walk away or run. Why take the risk 3rd lesson, if we cant do the other two for some reason, we prefer to use hit fast and run tactics. Even me at 61 years, can side snap kick faster than someone pulling there arm up to knife attack. Fast kicks is what taekwondo is famous for. Then run to a safe area. I will demo this speed on a KZbin video soon What Master Alexandris is demonstrating is if all other tactics fail. But I agree, its not the best and not really taekwondo Perhaps something like Krav maga is better. What can you suggest as a taekwondo supplement for knife attacks Sir?

wow masster

As a 2 nd degree, Opus Dei is so right, but I need to know this for exams. For sure in daily life: a) how did i get in this situation? b) glad I practice TKD because I can run fast c) if someone attacks me with a knife I shoot the MF d) I accept the fact that I will get hurt, move in as close as possible and try to cause as much damage on the opponent as I can. I have options and hope luck is on my side. The rest of the clip is phantasy because no experienced knife fighter will attack like this.

[@markh5679]

By the way , look at this and defend this... kzbin.info/www/bejne/jKW9YmRmmK9qbKs. No chance with this dude he is a pro knife fighter, he also says best thing is to RUN

[@Mathewmartialart]

Why do they still teach knife attacks like that, almost as if they have never been attacked in real life

[@user-qz5qy3xq5p]

It's more of a drill, not a "self defense" technique that you'd ever use in real life.

[@Mathewmartialart]

@@user-qz5qy3xq5p yeah right. "to aid in disciplinary training by instilling habits of precision and response to the leader's orders" so in other words your talking bollocks.

[@ianphiliphodge]

@@user-qz5qy3xq5pso I’m basically just spending time practicing something that is useless and giving myself a false sense of security that might get me killed.
