Reality of knife fighting

[Asian JKD]

Awareness training, common sense, and a strong presentation of confidence can keep you out of trouble

I totaly agree with that ...
and I think it also depends on the assault

Most bullet proof vests can't stop a knife stab, I feel sorry for cops who get stabbed.

Look up Dragonskin. I saw an episode of Futureweapons on Discovery and they had it on the show. The stuff is so well build that it actually stopped all penetration from a fragmentation grenade (yes, this was only for show). The point is this could be the future of body armor as we know it.

[QUOTE=Nutz;257070]Why oh why do people still think its a good thing to blur out stuff in their videos? Do they think that because they're hiding the technique that people will want to know what they're doing even more? Puhleez, get a grip already...

it's blurred to not show the technique. the dog catcher is an innovation by guro marc, and guro marc is in the BUSINESS of martial arts. by showing this technique in the preview it would not only give away the meat of the DVD it would've opened the flood gates for others to say '' we have that too'' or something along those lines.

The first thing we need to understand is that a knife is an ambush weapon. This means that in MOST cases the victim cannot "choose" to take on a person with a knife. Most stabbings happen without the person ever knowing that there was a knife involved. Awareness is key and being "weapon-centric" is imperative. If we neglect to observe the chance of a knife (mind you this chance is 100% of the time) and we actually do decide to enter into physical confrontations we need to use techniques that revolve around being weapon-centric. Too many people now-a-days look at MMA as a true defense against a knife; "I'll just take them down." This is foolish in itself to the point that it makes me nauseous. Check out a few clips from DBMA:

Other than the crap I mention above, the vids are alright. They seems to have a firm grasp of the realities of combat with edged weapons.

Real nice, one of the reasons why I take FMA.

[bseeley2]

Wow, thank you. This really opens up my eyes and many other's eyes. I think learning the realistics of fights is exactly what we should do. Most martial arts instructors dont train for a realistic street fight or knife fight, they just train for certain scenarios.

Thanks for the post Nutz...I have seen those pics before and that video does a good job of driving home the point thanks for the post.

Also, you might want to try and get a copy of "Survivng Edged Weapons" if you can find it anywhere. I have an old copy but the quality is not to good all the time but it has Dan Inosanto, Edgar Sulite and other Kali men in it. It has alot of scenario training that Dan and them used for training the different police departments. Good stuff if you can get it.

Thanks again

[Jiu-fu fighter]

however it can be said

that training in knife techniques and disarment is better than not having any training or experience at all,

but yeah,





don't ever take on a guy with a knife!
