JohnnyS Posted February 20, 2004 Posted February 20, 2004 Treebranch, If the guy on his back is decent then he'll be controlling his opponents arms making it very difficult for him to reach for anything. BJJ - Black Belt under John Will (Machado)Shootfighting - 3rd Degree Black BeltTKD - Black Belt
AndrewGreen Posted February 20, 2004 Posted February 20, 2004 The point I was trying to make is that you may not realize that someone is garnishing a weapon until it's too late. That's why staying on your feet as long as possible is very essential in real situations. In sport do whatever works. One thing that can be learnt threw sparring with weapons is it is a lot easier to prevent someone from getting a weapon, or using a weapon when you are on the ground. At a distance they can get it out and use it easy. Then your best strategy (Apart from running) is to get into a grappling range and control the weapon hand then try to get it away from them. If I was worried about a weapon, I'd want to be clinched or on the ground. Not at a distance. Andrew Greenhttp://innovativema.ca - All the top martial arts news!
WolverineGuy Posted February 20, 2004 Posted February 20, 2004 A wise man once said grappling when a knife is involved is pure fantasy. Wolverine1st Dan - Kalkinodo"Shut up brain, or I'll stab you with a q-tip""There is no spoon."
AndrewGreen Posted February 20, 2004 Posted February 20, 2004 Many wise men are only wise cause they told you they where. But there is a simple test. TRY IT! Find someone that is good at grappling, and have a go. From experience we get poked less on the gound then standing. Why? Cause it is easier to control the arms.

Treebranch Posted February 20, 2004 Posted February 20, 2004 Yeah, but you may not know the knife is there. Going to the ground shouldn't be your first choice. That's basically what I was trying to get at. "It is easier to find men who will volunteer to die, than to find those who are willing to endure pain with patience.""Lock em out or Knock em out"
WolverineGuy Posted February 20, 2004 Posted February 20, 2004 I'm going with Treebranch here...most stab victims do not even know they've been stabbed until after the altercation...by then it could be far too late. Wolverine1st Dan - Kalkinodo"Shut up brain, or I'll stab you with a q-tip""There is no spoon."
AndrewGreen Posted February 21, 2004 Posted February 21, 2004 Yeah, but you may not know the knife is there. Going to the ground shouldn't be your first choice. That's basically what I was trying to get at. Again, I would rather be on the ground with your arms tied up and unable to reach for a weapon should there be one then seperated where you can reach for whatever you want whenever you want.

Reklats Posted February 23, 2004 Posted February 23, 2004 No, Budo Taijutsu rarely teach weapons techniques. (Sarcasm!) Bleh. I was enjoying this thread up until the traditional MA wet blanket attack.
