ymaa.com/publis...
ALSO AVAILABLE FOR RENT:
• Knife Defense Part 1 (...
In the "Knife Defense DVD", Dr. Yang, Jwing-Ming teaches techniques designed to defend against dagger attacks, which include the four essential categories of traditional martial arts training: punching, kicking, chin na, and wrestling.
It is important to be aware that knife fighting is deadly and can often lead to serious consequences, including time in prison. If you are attacked with a knife, the best option is to keep your distance and attempt to escape. Even with expert training, there is a high risk of sustaining an injury during a knife attack.
Dr. Yang instructs and demonstrates knife defense techniques. He also provides corrections for common mistakes as students perform each application. Special attention is given to key defensive concepts.
-Learn to use items 'at hand' for defense
-Learn how to maintain distance from an attacker
-Understand angling, and intercepting an attack
-Develop strategies for successful escapes
-Numerous distance, angling, and intercepting training drills are taught
Over 30 traditional techniques are presented in detail
It is crucial to train the skills of intercepting often and with many training partners, for it to be effective as a defense.
Extensive training of these defense applications can significantly help you avoid knife injuries if you are attacked outside of a controlled training environment.
Violent encounters are on the rise around the world, and statistics show that someone is maimed or killed by a knife every five minutes. Your best defense is awareness and then avoidance.
212 minutes. English narration with subtitles.

I have quite a few of Dr. Yang's instructional videos. His teachings are excellent, I wish I had his entire library! This one will definitely be added to my collection.

[@johnbrown1314]

Dr. Yang is an inspiration to all and I wish to thank him for his work!

[@Ymaa_Publication_Center]

This is a collection of traditional knife defense compiled from various Chinese martial arts. Think of it as an encyclopedia of techniques. They are not recommended defense for modern times.

[@Ymaa_Publication_Center]

Nothing is 100% effective and you don't want to test your skills in an actual knife fight. Leaving the place where the knife attacker is present is more effective. We recommend modern reality-based self-defense principles: avoidance, de-escalation, etc.

[@CraneTiger2]

I see Tops, Benchmade, and Kabar ;) Nice.
Great techniques as well! :)

[@KeithOng]

knife attacks don't happen this way...its continuous.

[@lynxord]

Not if you drop them on the first attack... which is the purpose of the attack. Really knife attacks aren't all that difficult to deal with if you're mentally prepared.

[@dannygjk]

Keith Ong The purpose of training is to acquire techniques and practice them until they are second nature. The pupil learns dozens of techniques then later can practice a sparring session to get experience in applying the techniques.
It's like when you study any martial art.

[@KeithOng]

Realistic training is the best way to train. Of course, initially, we train slowly to build up muscle memory.

[@johnbrown1314]

+Keith Ong / They're not if they are stopped in short order, that after all is the point Yang is making here....get it?

[@KeithOng]

I hope so.....Real knife attacks are continuous and sudden. Takes great skill to disarm (if that can be done at all)

[@danielkirwan6239]

What happens when one has the blade gripped the opposite way? In my own experience, I found this the most effective way of knife fighting. What are the best defences against this style?
