does not mean wrestling is the best way to handle an armed assailant, and that every other possible response would have been stupid and irresponsible. That would be an illogical thing to say (hint, hint).
The assailant wasn't armed and had a cop hanging on him already.
Really doesn't compare to 2 guys coming out of the blue and stabbing you.
But you get points for trying.
ROFLMAO, hey cut him some slack, at least he did get involved. Besides it shows that one time a cop and wrestling champ working together managed to control a single unarmed opponent who was already on the ground. Wow, I'm so impressed. I've seen multiple news accounts where people with no training what so ever helped the police arrest armed opponents who were standing up.
And which arguments may those be, KOTF? Did I ever say anything WOULD work in a street situation? Or did I simply say that it was insanity to claim that:
"this article proves I can take a knife away from a mugger and fight off his friends after being stabbed because his instructor knows my instructor and we are OH-so-cool, and EVERYONE else is WRONG! And WRONG to DOUBT my WORD, because I am GOD! Stab me once, stab me twice, I have a manuever that makes me bulletproof!"...???
Really? really???
You know what the Alex Gong incident "proved"? Running after an armed carjacker is a bad idea. You know what Uke's article proved...? Sometimes the good guys get away. Same thing as what Jubaji's articles "prove".
The only people who ever claimed to be bullet proof were Gracie nut huggers. You don't like people misrepresenting your words don't do it to others.
I have never claimed what I practice is best or even right for everyone.
What I think is BS is some one who thinks wrestling a knife wielding assailant is a good idea is insane.
Do I think grabbing, high kicking, tackling or grappling a person holding a knife is a good idea. No!
Do I think someone who has never ever in their life practiced with a mindset on said situation, going to be better than some one who has? No!
I guarantee if a monkey flew out of my ass right now and attacked me I wouldn't know crap about what to do because I've never trained for that.
If a guy jumps out from behind a car with a knife, I have trained my mind to react to that. Would I win, who knows, I have been attacked with a knife 2 times. I was stabbed both times but managed to incapacitate my opponent.
These guys had no skill with the knives and they were crappy knives, those are some huge factors in the situations.
But to claim that it's ok to square off and try and grab, hold, or wrestle a knife is crazy. You don't want to rush in and get closer to the weapon.

But, whatever. Far be it from me to strip your delusions away.
Then stop saying you're gonna quit and do it already.
BTW I never mentioned you so if your ego is bruised it's because you jumped off your pedestal to fast to come down here and yell at us lowly know nothings.
LOL! Oh, you've "trained your mind!" Well, that sure beats training your body.
Less perspiration and all...
Why bother gaining physical stills and testing yourself when you can just sit on your fat ass and "train your mind"?
Obviously training means something diffrent to you than the rest of us. You immediately equate training your mind with sitting and resting.
I equate training my mind as simulating the situation physically to see how my body will react. I can't zombify people with my mind like you WWE rasslin' fans do.
