Shaolin Chuan Fa Posted June 19, 2003 Share Posted June 19, 2003 Most of the knife training that we recieve is based on first controling the knife hand or clearing the knife hand away. Most people that charge at you with a knife think its thier only weapon. The just will hack, slash or charge at you with it. The only knife tequnices that I do not like is where it puts the knife to close to anything vital, like your kneck or your back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JerryLove Posted June 19, 2003 Share Posted June 19, 2003 Doesn't much matter if they focus on their knife.. it's their best weapon. My other tools are primarily to bring that knife into play. https://www.clearsilat.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ti Posted June 22, 2003 Share Posted June 22, 2003 The sad truth about such a situation is that you are f.u.t.a. I forgot where, but despite all the manuals about surviving a knife attack, the truth was, you are screwed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sansoouser Posted June 22, 2003 Share Posted June 22, 2003 Do what you can, they are trying to kill you. That means don't hold back if you get a chance to grab the wrsit break it, and then pound the living * out of them! Knock them to the ground then run off to somewhere safe. If you are truly fighting for your life never hold back, use throat, eye, and temple strikes to disable them. Hit there wind pipe hard and they won't even be able to swing another slash or punch. Let alone fight back. The amateur shoots his hands out ferociously, but lacks any true power. A master is not so flamboyant, but his touch is as heavy as a mountain.

JerryLove Posted June 23, 2003 Share Posted June 23, 2003 You mean you would hold back if you didn't yet know they were armed / trying to kill you? The guy that gets control of you can kill you weather he has a knife or not; why do something other than your best to stop him? https://www.clearsilat.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Treebranch Posted June 24, 2003 Share Posted June 24, 2003 That's why moving offline of an attack is so important, you don't know if the person has a knife or not. Better safe than sorry.

kajukenbo dad Posted June 25, 2003 Share Posted June 25, 2003 When the knife is at chamber and the knife is being move in a 8 pattern, you got a diffrent game plan to deal with??? Good LUCK Practice is the best of all instructors... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Treebranch Posted June 25, 2003 Share Posted June 25, 2003 Yeah, that guy making on 8 pattern really sound like he committing to an attack. If this person comes at you, you still want to move out of the way 8 pattern or not. You're in a better place to strike or whatever presents itself. Distance and timing is crucial. Attack the person not the knife.

JerryLove Posted June 25, 2003 Share Posted June 25, 2003 I disagree... against a knife there are three ranges... "out of reach", "smothering", and "getting butchered". https://www.clearsilat.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
