Hello! The old forums used to be a great reference for ideas/strategies/tactics about fighting ,I guess that those posts are gone forever ,and regrettably the ones from Marc Denny on multiple opponents and one from Burt Richardson on unarmed vs the knife.So whats everyones opinion on the best way to handle this situation ( other than run, pull my Glock .45/Mossberg shotgun, etc.)either from your training or stuff that you have (unfortunately) had to use.I have never been a victim of a knife attack.In training I have found that grabbing the knife hand with both hand,keeping it away from me and hitting, tripping ,and trying to get him to the ground have worked fairly well(training concepts taken from BR and Peyton Quinn)I have found that sudden surprise (simulated )attacks are very difficult without being "cut" to shreds or suffering terrrible possibly fatal and limb incapacitating injury.we also have trained with attacks from behind...this is bad news Hint: dont get attacked from behind ...Well Im anxious to hear what everyone has to say .
