Minimize Getting Killed Part 2
Ok, Defense against a Knife:
First thing to always remember: Try to get away. Duh.
Second thing, if you’re going into a knife fight you’re gonna get cut. No matter how good you are, you’re going get cut. It’s just a fact that we all have to deal with. The goal here is to control where and how you get cut.
Getting stabbed anywhere is bad. You can die. So don’t get stabbed. When youre defending yourself, get your arms up like a boxer except you make sure you have the top of your forearms facing them, and make sure you have your palms facing you. If you’re going to get slashed, youre getting the top of your forearms cut and not the inside where the viens and arteries are.
Next, you don’t know when he’s going to stab you, so don’t reach in and grab for the knife. The moment you start reaching, you die. Instead, be aggressive with your positioning and force them to commit or run. If they commit, you grab , if they run, you run.
Finally, once you grab onto the knife (with both hands) dont let go. Your life depends on it.
