I have had knife training in both MMA and Streetwise Karate. I have practiced with my friends just using a Knife hand for hours.
So basically my experience is not so great. But do I want RL experience?? heck no. When I was about 10 - 12 some guys in a park wanted my shoes and one pulled a knife. I ran .. and I would do the same now.
As you are all saying, your training may save your life if you are corner'd one day and are forced to defend yourself, but dont trick yourself into thinking you can disarm a single attack let alone multiple attackers with certainty.
Also someone mention'd ... would you fight off multiple attackers to save your family ... or to save yourself ... as you are fighting for your/their lives. What about your attackers??? are they not fighting for their lives as well?
If you havent already check out the knife post in this forum it also, has some good discusion.
Try it with chalk .. mix it up (throw a few punches before the jab) .. dont let your attacker know what your gona do, and if you still have the same success, then perhaps your style can teach what it is claiming.

P.S This is by no way a dig at your style .. it sounds VERY effective and if I had the chance I would like to try it.
