When I did jiu jitsu (not brazilian), we practiced many different knife self defense techniques. Unlike other self defense techniques that we drilled constantly so that we would have a good instinctual response to an attack, we were always taught that the techniques were purely for demonstration purposes. When one of the other students suggested that a technique could be practical in a knife fight, we spent the next class exclusively taking turns simulating realistic knife attacks. Ill never forget how, even having been trained what to do, everyone would have died 10x over if it was a real knife. For every time we got control over the knife, we had been cut 100x. In short, just run the fuck away. Also worth noting, he always taught that its infinitely more important to know how to be alert and aware to avoid these situations in the first place.
There was a video of a special forces guy doing a demonstration on how to deal with an opponent who has a knife and you are unarmed He runs away at a full sprint.

Helps that he was taught martial arts in a place where they don't specifically train you to fight in an octagon or in sports. My buddy took Karate and Tae Kwon Do. They taught him how to use the bo staff, katana, and nunchucks for some reason. But anyways, my point is that it's good to have a sense of how weapons work. My buddy has said to just run if someone pulls a knife on you.
The thing is, anti-knife techniques seemingly always presuppose that the attacker has no idea how to use a knife although it probably takes 5 minutes to instruct someone how to use a knife very effectively. So yeah, running speed +stamina and speech skills are probably the best self-defense techniques.
Yeah, my Krav Maga instructor taught me in class defense against knife the way we were using only our fingers. "Stop him from touching you with his right hand. See how hard it is? This is how real attack with knife is going to be" he said.
Yeah I agree. People who attacked with knives usually have preplanned and practiced using knives effectively. They've probably anticipated at least a few bad scenarios and thought about how to counter them. It's always difficult trying to beat someone who uses a deadly weapon with bare hands. In the video, one of the self defense instructors said an attacker would try to attack you with a same movement 5 times before realizing it's not working, but I'm sure it wouldn't take that long. If the attacker intends to kill you, he/she would practice the fastest and most efficient way of using a knife to kill you, for example sneak attacks, constantly rotating /switching the angle of the knife/blade, using multiple knives, etc.
The scary thing about a knife is it takes absolutely no training or practice to use relatively effectively. It's sharp and pointy, flail it around and it's going to cause damage. Knife wounds are absolutely horrible, people underestimate how severely horrific and debilitating they are. Fight somebody who has a knife on you and sure you might disarm them and either kill or stop them, but I guarantee that it's far more likely you get stabbed, slashed and never get the knife. Even if you manage to get the knife and "win" you're probably looking at some significant wounds, probably nerve damage and severe blood loss and that's just from your arms. These "just do this" training drills are ridiculous. If you're going to train knife defense you need to become accustomed to pain and chaos, none of these address that.
@@WretchedRedoran If you have a strong bow and shoot bodkin arrows the chance of it going through at close range is high (although the arrow probably won't go super far in), but mail is good protection against stabs, they didn't use it for no reason (considering most kills back in the day was a stab of some sort).
The brazilian guy is called Wesley Gimenez and I'm happy he was shown in this video as one of the only people that actually teaches something useful. He does an amazing job at sharing valuable information about self-defense.
it really amazes me how no one ever teaches the most obvious technique, grab an object to use as shield, and if you get confident you can use said object to try to hit their hand without putting you in danger
When you realize that the way knights were mostly defeated was either blunt force trauma or a swordfight degenerating into wrestling until someone pulls out a knife and goes for a gap
Yeah. There was more cracking of bodies than slicing at least for knights. Swords were effective as back ups and were useful in other regions where heavy body armour was not worn. Spears still better though.
@@pi3man252 idk if Spartans are the right example, their effective fighting period was quite short (like at the most 100 years) and they got crushed easily by new opponents.

Every good, unarmed knife defense instructor i've ever listened to has always opened up with "if you can't run and you have to defend yourself, you ARE going to get cut.", and from there, its about the most viable ways to try and disarm your attacker while defending yourself enough to avoid sustaining debilitating or fatal wounds. But really, the best defense from a knife attack is running away far enough to draw your firearm.
What lives do you people have? Do your really believe everyone who has ever been in a situation like that has gotten cut or stabbed? LITERALLY everyone ever throughout history? Really?
@@mrjackelbox4418 I live where knife attacks are rampants, most of the time you will get cut. it's not even a question, the odds of coming out unscathed is about the same as being struck by lightning. if you can't run circle into the opposite side of the knife, it'll make it harder for him to stab your mid section, use your hands to get in the way of the knife, you'd rather lose a tendon then lose your life. anything at that point becomes a self defence tool, wet clothes pillows are great, sticks are even better if you can get some range (don't wave it around use it like a spear poke with it to keep the attacker at bay and try to flick into the hand that hold the knife, if you aim for the knife you're going to miss or glance, aim for the hand, and it'll slide to the knife).
I've had a knife pulled on me a couple of times, but I've never been cut or stabbed. You know why? Because I defused the situation or ran away. Never fight unless you have absolutely no option, and if that happens you have to create space. Back up and grab anything you can use to as a barrier or a shield: a chair, a piece of wood, a sign, whatever, and if you want to use it to attack, don't swing but stab or jab.
Never had a knife pulled on me. But I was in boxing class as a teenager. We were taught to run lol But I have been in a few street fights. Even against two guys at once before. Kind of scary to be in. I can't imagine a knife fight... I would probably just run
@@jesterbuddersworth3051 That only works if you have space. A knife is way faster to pull out than a gun, and if the guy with the knife pulls it out before you’re ready you’re even more fucked. Up close you’ll get stabbed five times before you even get the safety off.
I remember when i did judo my master always told us that if someone attacks us with a knife he always said, "run, even if you end up winning with a throw you will get hurt, even if you get a good throw or punch you will never come out unscathed". He always said that rather than focusing on winning, focus on running. Edit: imagine you disarm the attacker, and when you try to hit them with the knife, they copy your disarm
Funnily enough a guy my dad knew through a mutual friend taught martial arts (I can't recall what specifically) and wanted to give my dad some lessons. This came about after hearing some stories of my dads fights (such as the time he got involved in a bar fight that ended with the owner hiring him as security), long story short it was sort of an ego thing for the guy. My dad wasn't really interested but agreed to let him if he could show him something useful in a real scenario like stop a knife. A sort of bet. He grabbed a plastic knife, gave it to my dad, and proceeded to be unable to stop any of his strikes with it. The best part is they weren't fancy moves.
The best knife training I've had was this Army brat in Boy Scouts. He had a stick I had no stick I had to take the stick away. Without touching the stick. Short sticks and a stick in each hand Then multiple guys with sticks. Your gonna get cut. .
I mean the best bet you have if you can't run away or grab a weapon is hope your lucky enough to knock en out in a clean hit without getting cut or stabbed. So better hope someone up above is watching your back lmao
I am from Brazil and I must sayy... if you react to a knife attack, those people (the attaker) almost NEVER work alone. So, if you react to the first guy, a second or third can gang up on you and its over. And sometimes they are armed with guns aswell. The best advice here is to not even run, is just comply with what they want, your life is not worth the risk.
When I was on active duty (Army SF), I was sent to a special training course where they covered knife fighting extensively. By day 1, it was obvious that a poorly trained person wielding a knife will easily defeat (or seriously harm) a trained unarmed person. So, the first smart response is escape. The second one is create as much distance and find a weapon (anything) to improve your odds. Lastly, every counter attack has to be done with deadly intent. Finally, run out of there.
As someone who was in a knife fight without knowing it because it all started with fists ... I didn't even realize I got stabbed 2 times didnt even realize he pulled a knife everything went so fast ... I realized when my buddies beat the other dudes and they started running and everything calmed down
I was a deputy sheriff then a city police Sergeant throughout the early 80's and late 90's and I saw our training in regard to responding to a knife weilding attacker evolve from shooting them at 15 feet and then that was extended to 21 feet once they were committed to the attack and advancing on us. That was still too close. It is incredible just how fast someone can close a 21 foot gap and kill you. Try it with a friend! Martial arts instructors who regularly trained us were nearly always 100 percent of the time on top of us with a rubber training knife even at 21 feet before we could usually even unholster our handgun from the ever evolving security holsters issued. Yeah there is a difference between a professional trainer and a perp hopped up on drugs but bad guys move pretty fast sometimes. Obviously we didnt walk around with our guns in our hands all day so we trained as if an unknown threat suddenly was upon us and we had to react with a holstered weapon. The instructors said the best thing in our case was to try to get some sort of cover between us and the attacker such as a car, motorcycle, telephone pole or anything solid if we could while engaging them. If you run you better have some distance between you and the attacker before you give them your back as a target. As an investigator Ive been to the morgue several times to collect evidence/photos of deceased knife attack victims and even attended a few of their autopsies. If you ever see these stab victims you will run as fast as possible from threatening people armed with knives. Best scenario is you get carved up and survive, but it is very likely you end up on the medical examiners table. Anyway, thats a veteran cops perspective. Ive had some martial arts training as well but probabably not on the level of most of you guys im sure. Always make sure the bad guy brought a knife to a gun fight uf you can if the fight is unavoidable.
Thank you for your interesting insight! That must have been kinda traumatic to see an autopsy being done but nowhere near as traumatic as surviving a brutal stabbing. Personally I have been threatened by a knife once unfortunately it was JUST after I had picked up £170 worth of the sticky green stuff (if you know what I mean..... sorry officer!) - anyway I had it all stored in a backpack and this dodgy POS came up to me asking for a cigarette. Should have realised what was happening and ran away or rang on the nearest doorbell. But yea he walked up to me and engaged me in conversation to distract me while his friend sneaked up behind me and grabbed me by the backpack. Then the first guy pulled a knife and held it to my throat and said take off the bag. I did, because what else could I do?! And then they told me to take off my jacket and shoes and empty my pockets (they said “phone. Wallet. Jacket”). That was the point at which I just sprinted away. Tbh I’ve fantasised many many times about finding this pair of degenerates and doing all sorts of things. But overall I’m pretty sure I made the right decision to run when I did. Anyway this was a waste of time as no one is gonna read it but hey story time lol
Dude. Thank you for just keeping up with putting out Ranton content. I do miss the reviews. But I love your energy and style so thank you for feeding my Rantoni addiction.
I feel that looking for improvised weapons is the best plan. Anything that'll hinder their movement or create space. If your in a store, pull a shelf down, throw things at them.
@@nottellingyou7520 ye if you actually put force into your punches you'll cut apart your own hand long before doing significant damage to the other guy
I feel like something a lot of knife defense videos never mention is that if you have the extreme misfortune to be attacked by someone who knows how to use a knife, then just controlling their knife arm isn't necessarily enough. If your attacker has the experience or presence of mind (and manual dexterity) to swap grips or swap knife hands, they can cut you really badly from almost any angle even in arm control. Run is the only legitimate answer, I think the only alternative is accept you are going to get stabbed and try and do as much heinous damage to your attacker any way you can to get them to withdraw. Ram a finger in their eye socket, hell try and grab their balls and twist, bite a fucking chunk out of them, you've already been stabbed by now, but you have to hope it wasn't immediately lethal and cause them enough pain and injury that they choose to withdraw before they get you 10 more times.
There was a guy on camera getting attacked by a man with a huge knife, almost like a machete. He successfully fended off the attacker with the only thing he had at the time-his camera's tripod. After a long standoff during which he revealed he had no money in his pocket, the attacker fled, but the guy luckily had the video evidence. The point is a weapon that is longer than the reach of the knife, even a benign one like a tripod, can save your life.
@@MunkyDrag0n i mean if the dude with the "machete" like knife actually attacked. the tripod wouldn't do as much as u seem to be imagining. while the man was hitting dude with the tripod, hed be receiving fatal wounds from a fricking machete lol, somehow i think the attacker comes out on top here, i mean whats a few bruises compared to gaping slash wounds? Sounds more like attacker figured it wasn't worth attacking someone with no money, or wasn't even planning on using the knife, probably just for intimidation. I've been in a situation when i was young and foolish where me and a buddy had a machete pulled on us while we were drunk, but that's just cause by buddy is an asshole when drunk and was trying to pick a fight with him, but my buddy in his drunken stupor started running at the dude and he took off and ran from us even tho he had the machete lol, if the dude had actually used the machete there is no doubt in my mind that me and my buddy would have been hurt bad or killed, we just got lucky that this dude only carried it for intimidation and not to actually use. So unless you are very sure that the person is actually going to use the weapon, your best bet is to run like many people have already said. If you cant run, just comply (unless they want your life, in which case fight like your life depends on it, since u know it would lol), whatever the robber wants, will be worth less than recieving extreme injuries, or even dying. i mean have you ever seen the wounds knifes/machetes can inflict on a person? no amount of pride/money is worth that.
In the Marine Corps, when they were teaching knife techniques, the motto every instructor had was "Get control of the knife hand, you're going to get cut at least once. It's going to happen, expect it. But if you get control of that knife hand you've got a chance. If you have your rifle, well... problem solved."
not really solved. people underestimate what adrenalin does and how long it takes to react when youre not already aiming at someone. many say you need to be at least 7 meters away to have a chance to shoot before you get stabbed.
@@JoeyP946 sure and theyre usually in more extreme situations and more alert. still people dont fly back 5 meters and are dead instantly shit a shotgut shell
4:50 Yeah, from a guy that got stabbed a couple of years ago: First of all, you realize you're being stabbed mid stabbing. Their knife hand is SECONDARY. They HOLD you with one hand and sew you with another. You just have 0 chance. Trying to track the knife hand will get you killed. I managed to lose his grip and leg it, almost passed out trying to get help. If someone is set on murdering you they usually just grab your clothes and drill you in the neck, the only thing you realize at that point is that you should have went home a long time ago. 9:58 The whole ordeal lasted less than 3 seconds and I got poked 8 times, so that one flies through the window.
3:40 Don’t throw crazy reckless kicks. But learn the Muay Thai low round. Pound that shinbone into their calf. Very safe kick to throw on an inexperienced attacker- helps create space and often drops people, giving you the escape time you needed.
The Channel of the Brazilian guy is called "Krav Maga Caveira" and right at the start of the knife defence tutorial he teaches you that you should never fight someone armed but if your only option is to fight then he teaches you that you should use the environment to your advantage and most importantly, that you should arm yourself with anything you can find around you. He really is a TH-cam gem, even mocking the fake self-defense experts.
Just something I wanted to add, regards that final clip where he catches the gun slide; it behoove viewers to know that it slides back *after* the bullet had been fired; since it's the recoil that slams it back in the first place (and you can see in the clip that that's when he caught it, not before). So, I believe the gun is no longer his most pressing issue, but rather his new sternum hole is.
You can in fact pull the slide back and hold it, that would prevent the gun from firing but you're not going to be able to do that to someone who already has it pointed at you. They can just shoot you before you even touch the gun. If someone is dumb enough to pull a gun on you while you're already in arms reach, you might be able to pull that off before they get it on target but if you fail you're probably dead.
I'm so glad people are finally exposing this Dale guy. He's such a bullshido artist, he literally had a "lesson" where he taught people that after they get put on their belly in a street fight, to catch the incoming head kick with their wrists and press into the attacker's shin to drop him... He's literally going to get somebody killed with his nonsense. Much love for outing this fraud, he's really so full of it that it makes me sick
What Wong sifu said, IS true. We were taught the same technique in the military that when someone comes at you with a knife, you either run, shoot or control the situation but never hit back. What I meant by never hit back is that we were told to do what he taught the same way. When the attack lunges at you, arc your back but lunge at the attacker and grab his arm, twist your body sideways together with this arm towards his back and try to put force to press the guy on the ground and wrestle the knife away from him then cuff the assailant.
Things like that have been the basic tactic for "Unarmed vs Weapon" scenarios since ages. Get close quickly, get control of the weapon hand, and wrestle/grapple.
i wanted to learn knife fighting, mainly defense, years ago. i called around to a bunch of martial arts places and every single one told me no. they all basically said "you will just get slashed up. don't knife fight." even for defense, they wouldn't teach anything other than just their normal martial arts classes. this was before krav maga was popular in the US, and even now the only option is krav maga or join the marine corp and do mcmap.
When I was taking Knife defence classes the first 2 things they taught before anything was 1, if you see a knife and can create distance then get moving because the best defence is not being there. And 2, if you can't create distance and you have to defend yourself, there's no way around it they are coming for you prepare to be cut. The best you can hope for is an injury over death no matter how much you learn and no matter how many drills you run when the real thing happens it's full of adrenaline and chaos and you won't be as good as you are calm with a fake weapon coming at you.
About 10 years ago I was in situations to defend against knife in fight. I was lucky to grab his hand on first stab, but I was not fast enough i actually grabbed part of knife. I still have scar on my palm.
A Knife is best used unexpectedly. If you see a person with a knife in a distance, just leave. Or with no other choice. Be dangerous, and find a long weapon, or something to defend yourself. Heck even a long and solid stick can do the job well. Learn how to swing a stick with power through Kalis/Arnis. There are better ways, but the best is to just run and escape.
I recommend people to spar with a plastic knife and some basic protection equipment. Now truly try and go for the kill with the knife, what i have learned is that in the BEST case scenario you grab his lower arm AFTER you have been stabbed at least once. You essentially have to hug his entire arm with both of your arm, try to trip him and while he trips you can try and pull on his arm which might disclocate his shoulder. Otherwise you need to have some good headbutt technique while holding on to his arm for dear life. Remember, this is while you have already been stabbed at least once. This is why you run when someone pulls a knife. There are rare occasions when you can do this without getting stabbed, but its like 1 out of 10 times.
@@snakeace0 Agree, spirit bomb most superior. I think there are some youtube tutorials on how to cast it pretty quick but you lose 35% of your chi (after this you have to rest/ recuperate for like a 2 weeks at least)
I love how these defense "experts" never take into consideration that people can just flip their wrist slightly and get thru every single one of these attacks. Especially since some of them involve having to hold the knife close to your chest. If it was a real attacker, they'd just flip their wrist a little bit, and boom, punctured lung.
There are so many different ways the guy could attack you with a knife, like how would you try to defend yourself against slashing? I mean you can only dodge you can’t just grab the knife or something and getting closer is never a good idea. I would love such people wearing a stab and cut proof bodysuits and showing their techniques and see if the opponent slashes their suit.
It ahold be illegal to give people intentionally convincing false information about how to survive a gun or knife attack. It's like telling people to stay in a building that's on fire so they're safer.
A friend of mine passed away a few weeks ago. There was a woman getting mugged and he tried to help her... he got stabbed in the throat. He also did karate and kickboxing since he was a kid. I just wanted to write this comment to let anyone know that its not a game when you have your life to lose... Dont be stupid. Dont try to fight anyone with a weapon unless you absolutely have to
The ONLY kick I recommend u should do in a street fight is a push kick/teep/teap. But only so this if you have trust in your balance and form. I say push kick because with enough power directed to the abdomen, hip, or chest, you can knock your opponent down or at least daze them. Afterwards when they’re down, RUN AWAY. Don’t look for fight. Run. Edit: I failed to mention speed and precision. A slow push kick can get grabbed and ur pretty much fucked.
In Muay Thai u usually train teeping quite a lot and after years of training it s quite effective to keep opponents away or even injure them, but yes, always in a knife attack if you can react run or atleast teep/push and run. Not even trained policemen with guns can react to a knife attack if the attacker is 5-10 meters away and you don t expect him to get his knife out and jump u out of nowhere. Some people have better reaction times than others but the result is often the same, u dead or both of you die on the way to hospital. Knife attacks are just nasty, wish nobody something like that.
I practiced Taekwondo and while in sparring sessions my favorite kick to use was something I was never actually taught in Taekwondo but it just worked for me so much compared to pretty much anything else I did. It was similar to a front kick but instead of using underneath the toes to strike (as I was taught in class) instead I would start the straight upward motion of the kick but I would spin the top of my foot and leg towards the abdomen of my sparring partner and strike through (Sort of in a whipping motion). I was able to generate power (without much telegraphing) to consistently floor (well to their knees gasping and needing time out). I also would use it as a jab and just keep them from rushing me, I typically would hold back since I didn't really want to pelt my partners harder than necessary and would only use it at a harder force if my partner was really gunning for me. I've never known a name for this type of strike. This is not a teap/teep kick at all right? Would you happen to know what it is called? But if I see a knife, hell yeah I'd rather run I don't care what anyone says.
@@aikidoboynj that kick sounds cool! Ummm by that description if I were to guess I would think you’re doing a hybrid of a question-mark kick and a push kick? Do u hit with the top of your foot itself, or do you spin the top and still use ball of your foot? I was also imagining a side kick which is a variant of push kick I believe. edit: P.S. I wish I could do a a question mark kick :’( but my balance is sub par lol
@@goblinPing I'm going to check those you mentioned... So I'm hitting with the top of my foot. So I would do a outward rotation or the foot/leg and try and kind of snap it into the midsection, it's just a slight rotation, just enough to make sure a decent amount of the top of my foot will connect.
How to defend against a knife user. Run! How to defend against a knife when cornered. Beg for your life! Also can people not tell Ranton is Asian? It's so obvious to me.
There is good armor for knives. And more. You just don't usually see people thinking about it. Wearing the right kind of chainmail armor under a shirt. Chainmail works for bladed stabs.
"There's no good anti knifing armor out there" Ever heard about Metatron? The dude walking out there wearing regular medieval chainmail under regular clothes. And not just chainmail, but also the rest if I remember correctly.
I've had to wear one of those body armour they were advertising in a previous job a few years ago, I can say they really do absorb a lot of impact (Of course as a bunch of guys on a night shift, we tested them, bats, pipe, chairs, it got a bit ridiculous) but they stop anything up to a 9mm and a crossbow bolt, they're decent, BUT, they are uncomfortable as f**k to wear, they are literally like a whole plastic chest piece and shoulders, they're rigid, awkward to move in and if you sit down too fast you get guillotined by the neck and your shoulders end up around your ears. It's a small price to pay to know they can absorb a massive attack like that, but then again if you have people regularly attacking you like that or firing anything remotely like, or worse than, a 9mm or crossbow bolt, the you have bigger problems than an armour vest. Your Master Wong impression absolutely killed me, literally should be titled "What happens when you give coke to a kung fu teacher", his energy is immense. Just found your channel, love the videos.
My best suggestion for knife attacks is to also have a knife yourself. It’s highly known that no one gets out unharmed in a knife fight so if the attacker knows you have a knife ready to go maybe they’ll think twice before they choose you.
the video is in fact a very correct portrayal of the best thing to do in a knife fight, which absolutely is to controll the knife hand. We trained dagger fighting in HEMA, including quite a bit of sparring and even though most of the time you would still get cut, it is by far the most effective method. That being said, sparring with chalked training knives demonstrates how hard it is not getting cut in such situations. Also, you are absolutely right that an untrained figher would focus on his knife hand. However, you quickly learn to use your off hand when the opponent controlls your knife hand. There is even a very interesting tehcnique described in the sources that is simple as hell. When your opponent catches your knife hand take the knife over in the other hand. It is something which instinctively you do not think about, but hugely effective once you notice this is a perfectly valid option.
0:01 Ah yes, the "let him stab me then tense to keep it in me then run away to disarm him" method, a rather technical and difficult to execute technique
When I did jiu jitsu (not brazilian), we practiced many different knife self defense techniques. Unlike other self defense techniques that we drilled constantly so that we would have a good instinctual response to an attack, we were always taught that the techniques were purely for demonstration purposes. When one of the other students suggested that a technique could be practical in a knife fight, we spent the next class exclusively taking turns simulating realistic knife attacks. Ill never forget how, even having been trained what to do, everyone would have died 10x over if it was a real knife. For every time we got control over the knife, we had been cut 100x. In short, just run the fuck away. Also worth noting, he always taught that its infinitely more important to know how to be alert and aware to avoid these situations in the first place.

@@koreancowboy42 just be like the last guy in the clip. Grab the slide on the firearm. Threat eliminated **sarcasm**
The scary thing about a knife is it takes absolutely no training or practice to use relatively effectively. It's sharp and pointy, flail it around and it's going to cause damage. Knife wounds are absolutely horrible, people underestimate how severely horrific and debilitating they are.
Fight somebody who has a knife on you and sure you might disarm them and either kill or stop them, but I guarantee that it's far more likely you get stabbed, slashed and never get the knife. Even if you manage to get the knife and "win" you're probably looking at some significant wounds, probably nerve damage and severe blood loss and that's just from your arms.
These "just do this" training drills are ridiculous. If you're going to train knife defense you need to become accustomed to pain and chaos, none of these address that.

When you realize that the way knights were mostly defeated was either blunt force trauma or a swordfight degenerating into wrestling until someone pulls out a knife and goes for a gap
Yeah. There was more cracking of bodies than slicing at least for knights. Swords were effective as back ups and were useful in other regions where heavy body armour was not worn. Spears still better though.

Every good, unarmed knife defense instructor i've ever listened to has always opened up with "if you can't run and you have to defend yourself, you ARE going to get cut.", and from there, its about the most viable ways to try and disarm your attacker while defending yourself enough to avoid sustaining debilitating or fatal wounds.
But really, the best defense from a knife attack is running away far enough to draw your firearm.
What lives do you people have? Do your really believe everyone who has ever been in a situation like that has gotten cut or stabbed? LITERALLY everyone ever throughout history? Really?
@@mrjackelbox4418 I live where knife attacks are rampants, most of the time you will get cut. it's not even a question, the odds of coming out unscathed is about the same as being struck by lightning.
if you can't run circle into the opposite side of the knife, it'll make it harder for him to stab your mid section, use your hands to get in the way of the knife, you'd rather lose a tendon then lose your life. anything at that point becomes a self defence tool, wet clothes pillows are great, sticks are even better if you can get some range (don't wave it around use it like a spear poke with it to keep the attacker at bay and try to flick into the hand that hold the knife, if you aim for the knife you're going to miss or glance, aim for the hand, and it'll slide to the knife).

I've had a knife pulled on me a couple of times, but I've never been cut or stabbed. You know why? Because I defused the situation or ran away. Never fight unless you have absolutely no option, and if that happens you have to create space. Back up and grab anything you can use to as a barrier or a shield: a chair, a piece of wood, a sign, whatever, and if you want to use it to attack, don't swing but stab or jab.
Never had a knife pulled on me. But I was in boxing class as a teenager. We were taught to run lol

@@sod0m why would you even let them get that close in the first place?

I remember when i did judo my master always told us that if someone attacks us with a knife he always said, "run, even if you end up winning with a throw you will get hurt, even if you get a good throw or punch you will never come out unscathed". He always said that rather than focusing on winning, focus on running.
Edit: imagine you disarm the attacker, and when you try to hit them with the knife, they copy your disarm
Uno reverse into another uno reverse, forever countering eachother until someone comes lol.
Copying another's disarming is quite ludicrous in a intense situation, unless the attacker is super smart to adapt on the spot, which is doubtful.

Funnily enough a guy my dad knew through a mutual friend taught martial arts (I can't recall what specifically) and wanted to give my dad some lessons. This came about after hearing some stories of my dads fights (such as the time he got involved in a bar fight that ended with the owner hiring him as security), long story short it was sort of an ego thing for the guy. My dad wasn't really interested but agreed to let him if he could show him something useful in a real scenario like stop a knife. A sort of bet. He grabbed a plastic knife, gave it to my dad, and proceeded to be unable to stop any of his strikes with it. The best part is they weren't fancy moves.
The best knife training I've had was this Army brat in Boy Scouts. He had a stick
I had no stick I had to take the stick away. Without touching the stick.
Short sticks and a stick in each hand
Then multiple guys with sticks.

I mean the best bet you have if you can't run away or grab a weapon is hope your lucky enough to knock en out in a clean hit without getting cut or stabbed. So better hope someone up above is watching your back lmao
I am from Brazil and I must sayy... if you react to a knife attack, those people (the attaker) almost NEVER work alone.
So, if you react to the first guy, a second or third can gang up on you and its over.
And sometimes they are armed with guns aswell.
The best advice here is to not even run, is just comply with what they want, your life is not worth the risk.
Run is better, they can take you out even after you comply you know.
Question : what if they are for your life. Not everyone is trying to rob
True. But what if the thugs wanna throw you into a van. At that point might as well run. There are worst things than death you know..

When I was on active duty (Army SF), I was sent to a special training course where they covered knife fighting extensively. By day 1, it was obvious that a poorly trained person wielding a knife will easily defeat (or seriously harm) a trained unarmed person. So, the first smart response is escape. The second one is create as much distance and find a weapon (anything) to improve your odds. Lastly, every counter attack has to be done with deadly intent. Finally, run out of there.
As someone who was in a knife fight without knowing it because it all started with fists ... I didn't even realize I got stabbed 2 times didnt even realize he pulled a knife everything went so fast ... I realized when my buddies beat the other dudes and they started running and everything calmed down

I fuckin love Master Wong. Cracks me up
"Knives are the worst.... Shout out to spoons"
An underrated witty joke there.
I was a deputy sheriff then a city police Sergeant throughout the early 80's and late 90's and I saw our training in regard to responding to a knife weilding attacker evolve from shooting them at 15 feet and then that was extended to 21 feet once they were committed to the attack and advancing on us. That was still too close. It is incredible just how fast someone can close a 21 foot gap and kill you. Try it with a friend! Martial arts instructors who regularly trained us were nearly always 100 percent of the time on top of us with a rubber training knife even at 21 feet before we could usually even unholster our handgun from the ever evolving security holsters issued. Yeah there is a difference between a professional trainer and a perp hopped up on drugs but bad guys move pretty fast sometimes. Obviously we didnt walk around with our guns in our hands all day so we trained as if an unknown threat suddenly was upon us and we had to react with a holstered weapon. The instructors said the best thing in our case was to try to get some sort of cover between us and the attacker such as a car, motorcycle, telephone pole or anything solid if we could while engaging them. If you run you better have some distance between you and the attacker before you give them your back as a target. As an investigator Ive been to the morgue several times to collect evidence/photos of deceased knife attack victims and even attended a few of their autopsies. If you ever see these stab victims you will run as fast as possible from threatening people armed with knives. Best scenario is you get carved up and survive, but it is very likely you end up on the medical examiners table. Anyway, thats a veteran cops perspective. Ive had some martial arts training as well but probabably not on the level of most of you guys im sure. Always make sure the bad guy brought a knife to a gun fight uf you can if the fight is unavoidable.
Thank you for your interesting insight! That must have been kinda traumatic to see an autopsy being done but nowhere near as traumatic as surviving a brutal stabbing. Personally I have been threatened by a knife once unfortunately it was JUST after I had picked up £170 worth of the sticky green stuff (if you know what I mean..... sorry officer!) - anyway I had it all stored in a backpack and this dodgy POS came up to me asking for a cigarette. Should have realised what was happening and ran away or rang on the nearest doorbell. But yea he walked up to me and engaged me in conversation to distract me while his friend sneaked up behind me and grabbed me by the backpack. Then the first guy pulled a knife and held it to my throat and said take off the bag. I did, because what else could I do?! And then they told me to take off my jacket and shoes and empty my pockets (they said “phone. Wallet. Jacket”). That was the point at which I just sprinted away. Tbh I’ve fantasised many many times about finding this pair of degenerates and doing all sorts of things. But overall I’m pretty sure I made the right decision to run when I did. Anyway this was a waste of time as no one is gonna read it but hey story time lol
Oh just to clarify I’m not saying I survived a brutal stabbing I mean i imagine it’s traumatic to actually get stabbed and survive it
Dude. Thank you for just keeping up with putting out Ranton content. I do miss the reviews. But I love your energy and style so thank you for feeding my Rantoni addiction.
I feel that looking for improvised weapons is the best plan. Anything that'll hinder their movement or create space. If your in a store, pull a shelf down, throw things at them.
Totally. And there’s the old trick of holding your house keys between your knuckles (if you have some time to prepare but are not able to run away)
@@nottellingyou7520 ye if you actually put force into your punches you'll cut apart your own hand long before doing significant damage to the other guy
I feel like something a lot of knife defense videos never mention is that if you have the extreme misfortune to be attacked by someone who knows how to use a knife, then just controlling their knife arm isn't necessarily enough.
If your attacker has the experience or presence of mind (and manual dexterity) to swap grips or swap knife hands, they can cut you really badly from almost any angle even in arm control.
Run is the only legitimate answer, I think the only alternative is accept you are going to get stabbed and try and do as much heinous damage to your attacker any way you can to get them to withdraw. Ram a finger in their eye socket, hell try and grab their balls and twist, bite a fucking chunk out of them, you've already been stabbed by now, but you have to hope it wasn't immediately lethal and cause them enough pain and injury that they choose to withdraw before they get you 10 more times.
There was a guy on camera getting attacked by a man with a huge knife, almost like a machete. He successfully fended off the attacker with the only thing he had at the time-his camera's tripod. After a long standoff during which he revealed he had no money in his pocket, the attacker fled, but the guy luckily had the video evidence. The point is a weapon that is longer than the reach of the knife, even a benign one like a tripod, can save your life.
@@MunkyDrag0n i mean if the dude with the "machete" like knife actually attacked. the tripod wouldn't do as much as u seem to be imagining. while the man was hitting dude with the tripod, hed be receiving fatal wounds from a fricking machete lol, somehow i think the attacker comes out on top here, i mean whats a few bruises compared to gaping slash wounds? Sounds more like attacker figured it wasn't worth attacking someone with no money, or wasn't even planning on using the knife, probably just for intimidation. I've been in a situation when i was young and foolish where me and a buddy had a machete pulled on us while we were drunk, but that's just cause by buddy is an asshole when drunk and was trying to pick a fight with him, but my buddy in his drunken stupor started running at the dude and he took off and ran from us even tho he had the machete lol, if the dude had actually used the machete there is no doubt in my mind that me and my buddy would have been hurt bad or killed, we just got lucky that this dude only carried it for intimidation and not to actually use. So unless you are very sure that the person is actually going to use the weapon, your best bet is to run like many people have already said. If you cant run, just comply (unless they want your life, in which case fight like your life depends on it, since u know it would lol), whatever the robber wants, will be worth less than recieving extreme injuries, or even dying. i mean have you ever seen the wounds knifes/machetes can inflict on a person? no amount of pride/money is worth that.
In the Marine Corps, when they were teaching knife techniques, the motto every instructor had was "Get control of the knife hand, you're going to get cut at least once. It's going to happen, expect it. But if you get control of that knife hand you've got a chance. If you have your rifle, well... problem solved."
not really solved. people underestimate what adrenalin does and how long it takes to react when youre not already aiming at someone. many say you need to be at least 7 meters away to have a chance to shoot before you get stabbed.
@@mugnuz well I hope the fking marine corps is better trained than the average gun loving civilian

4:50 Yeah, from a guy that got stabbed a couple of years ago: First of all, you realize you're being stabbed mid stabbing. Their knife hand is SECONDARY. They HOLD you with one hand and sew you with another. You just have 0 chance. Trying to track the knife hand will get you killed. I managed to lose his grip and leg it, almost passed out trying to get help. If someone is set on murdering you they usually just grab your clothes and drill you in the neck, the only thing you realize at that point is that you should have went home a long time ago.
9:58 The whole ordeal lasted less than 3 seconds and I got poked 8 times, so that one flies through the window.

Don’t throw crazy reckless kicks. But learn the Muay Thai low round. Pound that shinbone into their calf. Very safe kick to throw on an inexperienced attacker- helps create space and often drops people, giving you the escape time you needed.
The Channel of the Brazilian guy is called "Krav Maga Caveira" and right at the start of the knife defence tutorial he teaches you that you should never fight someone armed but if your only option is to fight then he teaches you that you should use the environment to your advantage and most importantly, that you should arm yourself with anything you can find around you.
He really is a TH-cam gem, even mocking the fake self-defense experts.
I haven't laughed so hard for such a long time. This is gold
Master Wong telling people to cut their attackers balls off had me dead
Just something I wanted to add, regards that final clip where he catches the gun slide; it behoove viewers to know that it slides back *after* the bullet had been fired; since it's the recoil that slams it back in the first place (and you can see in the clip that that's when he caught it, not before).
So, I believe the gun is no longer his most pressing issue, but rather his new sternum hole is.
You can in fact pull the slide back and hold it, that would prevent the gun from firing but you're not going to be able to do that to someone who already has it pointed at you. They can just shoot you before you even touch the gun.
If someone is dumb enough to pull a gun on you while you're already in arms reach, you might be able to pull that off before they get it on target but if you fail you're probably dead.
When you know how much this would suck, you get chills just imagining these guys trying to do something as ridiculous as this in a real-life situation

I'm so glad people are finally exposing this Dale guy. He's such a bullshido artist, he literally had a "lesson" where he taught people that after they get put on their belly in a street fight, to catch the incoming head kick with their wrists and press into the attacker's shin to drop him... He's literally going to get somebody killed with his nonsense. Much love for outing this fraud, he's really so full of it that it makes me sick
Wearing medieval bracers makes all those defenses work as intended.
What Wong sifu said, IS true. We were taught the same technique in the military that when someone comes at you with a knife, you either run, shoot or control the situation but never hit back.
What I meant by never hit back is that we were told to do what he taught the same way. When the attack lunges at you, arc your back but lunge at the attacker and grab his arm, twist your body sideways together with this arm towards his back and try to put force to press the guy on the ground and wrestle the knife away from him then cuff the assailant.
Things like that have been the basic tactic for "Unarmed vs Weapon" scenarios since ages. Get close quickly, get control of the weapon hand, and wrestle/grapple.
I remember hearing years ago, "two skilled people in a knife fight, no one wins, one ends up dead, the other serious injured, possibly dead also."
i wanted to learn knife fighting, mainly defense, years ago. i called around to a bunch of martial arts places and every single one told me no. they all basically said "you will just get slashed up. don't knife fight." even for defense, they wouldn't teach anything other than just their normal martial arts classes. this was before krav maga was popular in the US, and even now the only option is krav maga or join the marine corp and do mcmap.
"knives are the worst, man. knives are worst"
[*gun*] has joined the chat
When I was taking Knife defence classes the first 2 things they taught before anything was 1, if you see a knife and can create distance then get moving because the best defence is not being there. And 2, if you can't create distance and you have to defend yourself, there's no way around it they are coming for you prepare to be cut. The best you can hope for is an injury over death no matter how much you learn and no matter how many drills you run when the real thing happens it's full of adrenaline and chaos and you won't be as good as you are calm with a fake weapon coming at you.
i enjoy how all the training videos show the knife attacker walking up to the victim with the knife out
About 10 years ago I was in situations to defend against knife in fight. I was lucky to grab his hand on first stab, but I was not fast enough i actually grabbed part of knife. I still have scar on my palm.
I knee before you editor. At last you put the songs in the description, and im grateful for that.
A Knife is best used unexpectedly.
If you see a person with a knife in a distance, just leave. Or with no other choice. Be dangerous, and find a long weapon, or something to defend yourself.
Heck even a long and solid stick can do the job well.
Learn how to swing a stick with power through Kalis/Arnis. There are better ways, but the best is to just run and escape.
*"No one stands there holding the knife".*

Only the dead or the foolish believe otherwise.
The guy’s video turned into a knife defense video to a video on how to use a knife, giving people more ideas💀
"wallah, wallahy" man i cracked up
really it ruined the video for me. Every time I hear that crap language I picture terrorists attacking and bombings
I recommend people to spar with a plastic knife and some basic protection equipment. Now truly try and go for the kill with the knife, what i have learned is that in the BEST case scenario you grab his lower arm AFTER you have been stabbed at least once. You essentially have to hug his entire arm with both of your arm, try to trip him and while he trips you can try and pull on his arm which might disclocate his shoulder. Otherwise you need to have some good headbutt technique while holding on to his arm for dear life. Remember, this is while you have already been stabbed at least once. This is why you run when someone pulls a knife. There are rare occasions when you can do this without getting stabbed, but its like 1 out of 10 times.

I love how these defense "experts" never take into consideration that people can just flip their wrist slightly and get thru every single one of these attacks.

The ONLY kick I recommend u should do in a street fight is a push kick/teep/teap. But only so this if you have trust in your balance and form.
I say push kick because with enough power directed to the abdomen, hip, or chest, you can knock your opponent down or at least daze them. Afterwards when they’re down, RUN AWAY. Don’t look for fight. Run.
Edit: I failed to mention speed and precision. A slow push kick can get grabbed and ur pretty much fucked.
In Muay Thai u usually train teeping quite a lot and after years of training it s quite effective to keep opponents away or even injure them, but yes, always in a knife attack if you can react run or atleast teep/push and run. Not even trained policemen with guns can react to a knife attack if the attacker is 5-10 meters away and you don t expect him to get his knife out and jump u out of nowhere. Some people have better reaction times than others but the result is often the same, u dead or both of you die on the way to hospital. Knife attacks are just nasty, wish nobody something like that.
I practiced Taekwondo and while in sparring sessions my favorite kick to use was something I was never actually taught in Taekwondo but it just worked for me so much compared to pretty much anything else I did.
It was similar to a front kick but instead of using underneath the toes to strike (as I was taught in class) instead I would start the straight upward motion of the kick but I would spin the top of my foot and leg towards the abdomen of my sparring partner and strike through (Sort of in a whipping motion).
I was able to generate power (without much telegraphing) to consistently floor (well to their knees gasping and needing time out). I also would use it as a jab and just keep them from rushing me, I typically would hold back since I didn't really want to pelt my partners harder than necessary and would only use it at a harder force if my partner was really gunning for me.
I've never known a name for this type of strike. This is not a teap/teep kick at all right? Would you happen to know what it is called?
But if I see a knife, hell yeah I'd rather run I don't care what anyone says.
@@aikidoboynj that kick sounds cool! Ummm by that description if I were to guess I would think you’re doing a hybrid of a question-mark kick and a push kick?
Do u hit with the top of your foot itself, or do you spin the top and still use ball of your foot?
I was also imagining a side kick which is a variant of push kick I believe.
edit: P.S. I wish I could do a a question mark kick :’( but my balance is sub par lol
@@goblinPing I'm going to check those you mentioned... So I'm hitting with the top of my foot. So I would do a outward rotation or the foot/leg and try and kind of snap it into the midsection, it's just a slight rotation, just enough to make sure a decent amount of the top of my foot will connect.
Cut the arm off is what killed me 😭😭

I've had to wear one of those body armour they were advertising in a previous job a few years ago, I can say they really do absorb a lot of impact (Of course as a bunch of guys on a night shift, we tested them, bats, pipe, chairs, it got a bit ridiculous) but they stop anything up to a 9mm and a crossbow bolt, they're decent, BUT, they are uncomfortable as f**k to wear, they are literally like a whole plastic chest piece and shoulders, they're rigid, awkward to move in and if you sit down too fast you get guillotined by the neck and your shoulders end up around your ears. It's a small price to pay to know they can absorb a massive attack like that, but then again if you have people regularly attacking you like that or firing anything remotely like, or worse than, a 9mm or crossbow bolt, the you have bigger problems than an armour vest. Your Master Wong impression absolutely killed me, literally should be titled "What happens when you give coke to a kung fu teacher", his energy is immense. Just found your channel, love the videos.
That dude who stabs the guy for show, he has the most epic job ever. 😎 And he gave a 100% STAB STAB STAB X100🤣
My best suggestion for knife attacks is to also have a knife yourself. It’s highly known that no one gets out unharmed in a knife fight so if the attacker knows you have a knife ready to go maybe they’ll think twice before they choose you.
Man, knives are a nightmare to deal with.
the video is in fact a very correct portrayal of the best thing to do in a knife fight, which absolutely is to controll the knife hand. We trained dagger fighting in HEMA, including quite a bit of sparring and even though most of the time you would still get cut, it is by far the most effective method. That being said, sparring with chalked training knives demonstrates how hard it is not getting cut in such situations.
Also, you are absolutely right that an untrained figher would focus on his knife hand. However, you quickly learn to use your off hand when the opponent controlls your knife hand. There is even a very interesting tehcnique described in the sources that is simple as hell. When your opponent catches your knife hand take the knife over in the other hand. It is something which instinctively you do not think about, but hugely effective once you notice this is a perfectly valid option.

How to defend against a knife in 3 easy steps:
1) Run like hell.
2) If you can't run, get a gun (beforehand obviously).
3) learn how to use the gun.
Secured knife and disarms* now he's on the dinner table- *proceeds to fatality *
Here's the best knife defense- pull out a gun and triple tap!
7:50 this is what happens when you ask for directions in london
0:01 Ah yes, the "let him stab me then tense to keep it in me then run away to disarm him" method, a rather technical and difficult to execute technique
Heard a good quote about self defense. It was something like “the best disciplines for self defense are the 100 meter dash and alpine yodeling”
Bahahahahaa im on rhe floor laughing!!! "Shout out to spoons!"
