knife drills

[chillaplata]

"Winners bleed, losers gush" -- a friend of mine quoting his Kali instructor on knife-fighting.

This instructor would also have his students put on old white T-shirts and knife-spar with magic markers. At the end of class he'd tell them to look at the marked-up shirts and imagine what would have happened with real knives.

yea boooy!!!!!!

mad props to my nigga garland for posting so many fighting vids and knife vids
btw lol that every knife "defender " got stabbed like a bajillion times too bad they don't have metal or plastic food trays to use as shileds like in many prison shanking vids. btw they sould have the vic wear a white t-shirt and the perp put red paint on th point and all "sharp" edges of the blad the see how much of a (borrowing a tito ortiz phrase) red guy the vic is after the drill

More real shit.

notice the guy who stabs the bouncer had an accomplice that distracted the other bouncer.

IMHO...these white trash assholes should all be dragged out into the street and shot.

When against a knife, the best defense is to get-away

[thescottishdude]

some of that stuff was pretty sick.

I get the point though - in a knife fight you will get stabbed, guarenteed.

[Garland]

More clips...
Okay

Yeah...the damage a stick can apply compared to that of our average fist doesn't really compare in certain instances.

And even an "average" stick fighter, could resort to something like fencing...keep your distance by retreating while whacking away at the hand. Flesh and bone can only take so much, and sticks really mess up the small bones of the hand.

Even better if you've got one of those nifty heavy police nightsticks. A buddy who's becoming a LEO let me play around with his once. Those things can eat a knife and will do some MASSIVE damage if they connect. They're far more dense than a regular kali stick.

In that context, you should be thinking along the lines of aluminum baseball stick(or equally long length of PVC pipe, etc.) vs knife.
If I was the knife guy, I would not want to eat a PVC pipe across the head.

I dont know seems to me run in and stab stab stab works.

If its so effective against an unarmed opponent... its effectiveness must still be great against someone armed with a stick.

Think about it, its a longer range, and in most cases, more damaging weapon.

However, if taking a punch to get to the stabby range, is okay, taking a shot from a stick would be too.

So what if he knows his Kali angles etc, use your forearm as your "stick" and make a roofblock, sure it hurts your forearm, but you ramming the knife into his gut, and his weapon being completely out of range (no distance to strike as your inside his arms) is effectively useless.

Good footwork, no one can back up, move in triangles, etc, and keep me at bay if I'm just willing to rush at them and take a shot, you move off to an angle ,and hit me, so what I'll turn to that angle and run forward, I'll catch you after 1 or 2, than your done.

I'm just saying its funny hwo you see the thug techniques work in unarmed self defense.. but once another weapon is introduced.. oh shit... time to duel...

When faced with a stick, do you thin kthe average knifer is going to go, okay ... remember your angles of attack, triangle footwork, defang the snake.

Or will it be... CHARGE STABBITY RIP STAB STAB!...

In my estimation the latter.

Yeah...but the average person using the stick will know enough to hit the person to keep them away...common sense.

And don't underestimate the blow from a stick to an unguarded head, or hand. Notice why the dogbrothers wear hand and head protection? Broken bones and shattered and torn joints, ligaments, tendons...ouch.

G'day guys, Clive Girdham is the name. I'm the one responsible for all those "Realistic Knife training" clips on YouTube. Thanks for the kind comments Garland, I'm glad you all enjoyed them. We like to keep it as real as possible and occaisionally we have injuries but nothing too bad. Just a clarification, we are actually an Australian group with a few Brits involved based in Sydney. We draw inspiration from Richard Dimitiris Senshido, Dog Brothers and Jim Grover
all the best

Ya man! Good work with all of that! I'd love to see more clips, I like your approach to the issue!

Kind of what I'd imagine the damage kicking at a good sharp knife would produce.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VOQzHvgn39E

...maybe not COMPLETE avulsion or amputation of the calf muscle...but close to it...as if punctures and slashes aren't bad enough, the force of a good kick met with a knife...ouchie.

[jeff5]

If you have a longer range weapon against a knife, your only advantage IS that range. You have to keep the guy at range and break his hand. If he gets within your stick (or whatever) weapon range, your at a massive disadvantage, and in most cases your dead.

[jeff5]

The ones where they're throwing kicks against knives just make me want to shudder. As did that one with the Karate guy in red.

I liked the dog brothers one quite a bit.
