"from Mike Brewer-If that's not the kind of thing you're training for, you're being horribly unrealistic. It's never, ever going to be a squared off event with both guys ready and willing. Fact is, you're not likely to even know you're in a knife fight until you're cut, stabbed, or both. You need to be training against ambush predators. Taking a cue from nature, that generally means the core of your training needs to be keen awareness of surroundings, attention and readiness to react, and great cardio fitness in case you need to beat a quick exit. Even if you're forced to fight against a knife, the goal should be escape and survival, not beating the guy with the knife.
For myself and my own training, this means thinking about and practicing certain tactics in everyday life like avoiding trouble areas and the other obvious litany. It means walking with my weak side toward a wall when I can so that threats must approach on the strong side. It means sitting so that people can't come in and take a seat behind me or in a blind spot. It means looking over nearly every crowd I'm in and checking hands and hips for the possibility of weapons. Those are the real measures that you use to avoid getting cut by a knife. It seems paranoid at first, but later on, it's very natural. Even people I'm friends with naturally cede the gunfighter's chair in a restaurant, theater, or club when I'm with them just because they know my tendencies. I don't really even think about it anymore. I just try to keep my eyes and ears open, my gun side clear, and my drawing/firing hand empty. Beyond that, it's just a matter of planning the obstacles and exits, knowing where to move to make it hard for the other guy to close, and keeping my own mental edge sharp and ready."
