I hate to burst your bubble, but in reality, there is very little you can do against a skilled knife attacker. However, does that mean we should stop training in self-defense? Actually, it's quite the opposite. Kevin Goat emphasizes the importance of avoiding these situations and also training in martial arts and self-defense.
For more videos like this, we have put together an online course with Kevin Goat learn more about it here: budobrothers.tv/pages/self-de...

Great honest breakdown. Nothing is perfect, even if its the best option to do in the situation you find yourself in. Learned this lesson from a lightfooted friend of mine with markers. Dude out maneuvered me while securing my weapon hand and I looked like I had chickenpox after 10-30 secs of thinking I could get away 😵
Seriously if you are not intimate with body mechanics and how to wield a blade, dont do it, and sure as hell be wary of somebody else being the real deal that only some Gun-Fu could be certain with 😅
I think you should rename the video to how skilled knife attacker attacks you.
Yes...rename video...not solved how to defense it..
Excellent video BUT i feel i learned how someone would stab me like a pig rather than protect myself. And the thing is it is not an instructor's fault. I would even try to fight against a knife unless I can't escape
Now you know how you will get stabbed if you don't run. So run. Unless, like me, you had accidents that lead to injuries and surgeries on both knees. Then you train a lot, fight for your life and, perhaps, survive.
@Tiago da Cruz My man 3 days after I wrote this a cocaine addicted junkie attacked me and my friend in the middle of nowhere at night and asked for money phones and shit. I was looking his hands all the time. He said we would stab us. I just put my hand on my pocket ,dropped 5 bucks with my friend and run away as fast as possible. Thank god this video was helpful
The biggest benefit of this video is the knowledge of how difficult is the real fight against a knife attacker and in my experience the more i get trained the more i feel safe against knives.
@@MyBalads Ετσι ειναι φιλε μου. Προσφατα οπως εγραψα και πανω μου την επεσε ενας γυφτος κοκακιας να μας κλεψει με το μαχαίρι. Ευτυχώς, το χειριστηκα καλα και δεν συνεβη τπτ σοβαρο. Βαρας φευγεις τρεχοντας πριν σε αρπάξει. Τελος
@@AlexOrProductionsYou did the best possible defense in that situation, now the thing is if a trained attacker has decided to use his knife skills against you he is more than willing to kill you, so you either run real fast or you fight for your life
Situational awareness is your first line of defense, no matter what weapon someone wants to attack you with. The second most important thing is mobility. Being in a corner allows no mobility and is the worst case scenario. Mobility is everything when you’re being attacked, even if you can’t run. Mobility is survival, because it gives you the ability to redirect and move around an attack. Mobility is essential to being able to manipulate the dynamics of an altercation in your favor or break contact. Mobility can help create that critical moment needed to get a weapon in your hands. Build good habits to avoid scenarios like being in a corner. This is what all self defense classes should be teaching people first. The most important takeaway from this demonstration of being in a corner, is don’t be there.
Outstanding video with some serious truth. Thank you for making this one.
When in doubt, push kick and then run.
When in menu screen, A, C, Up, B, Up, B, A, Down
I prefer ABBA down ABBA down Down up up
I honestly find this a very scary video.
It's been some time when I trained martial arts: first aikido and then wing chun but nothing they taught me even resembles the realism of a knife encounter.
Excellent emphasis on this video! As an FMA practitioner of 25 + yrs I can attest to the fact that even with a bunch of training a practical practice against an highly skilled knife fighter you will bleed at best!! That said GRDMSTR Remy Presas once told me that the best way to survive a knife fight is to not be in one but if it happens you should strive to affect your opponent’s sight and mobility so you can get away. Mstr Delaney told me situational awareness is perhaps the most vital component of your training.
👍 Remy Presas was an excellent FMA guro. I have him showing some FMA counters in an old mid or late 90's Martial Arts magazine👍 I think it's called sticky hands...I'll have to find it...
Excellent, thank you
This video is very very good thank you very much and GodBlessing
Great video. That's some legit advice.
Appreciate it!
This is lifesaving advice🙏
A friend and I once ran into an armed raid of his neighbors apartment.
We came up the stairwell in his flat because we heard shouting and saw the kicked in door dangling on one hinge.
Behind the door we encountered a masked guy with a big knife looking ... and then charging at us.
I am telling you
when someone with a big ass knife is charging at you
...
there is nothing to do man.
You just GTFO.
You GTFO!
Don't be no hero. And train your ass off. Especially your running tho.
We picked up the door and slammed it shut.
But there were multiple Guys inside and they kicked against the door.
It was completely removed from the hinges at this point and we were just kinda holding it like a big shield...
We counted down together and then we ran!
We RAN!
And we lived.
Fortunately no one got killed this day.
This is a real funny story. There was a masked man with a big knife charging at you and then there were multiple people inside kicking at the dislodged door with the masked man and then you ran like hell! Ha, ha, ha funnier than Charlie Chaplin ever was.
@@78a67h The people inside were two (or three not sure anymore) additional masked and armed robbers trying to get out after they robbed my friends neighbor.
The one charging at us was probably standing guard or making sure the other inhabitants of the apartment didn't do something stupid.
There were 5 residents in this apartment at the time.
The neighbor with his girlfriend.
His brother with his girlfriend and one additional guy i didn't know.
And actually beeing on the receiving end of 2-4 people kicking at a Door your holding is not fun at all.
Especially when you know they got knives.
We didn't last long until we had to bail.
Especially because inside the appartement a fight ensued.
The severely cut and injured neighbor came after them and fought back with a long metal bar. His arms were bleeding.
He later told us the guys didn't stab him but kinda hit him with the knives like with a batton.
The point however is.
If for whatever reason we would have chosen to "stay our ground" or try something else heroic or foolish when we faced the first attacker....
we would have gotten stabbed 100%.
So if you see a big knife.
You Run.
great video sir
Already sheer determination is a game changer: here a "prison stab" situation is shown, defender pressed up against a wall, (even bigger) attacker filling the guy in at 120-200 stabs per minute with the knife in the concealed hand. This is about as bad a situation as it can get.
Very refreshing. A lot of misinformation on subjects like these on the internet. Great vid
This is exactly why learning how to martially use a knife is vital. What is equally important, especially for those that can do so, is to get martially adept with firearms and to keep your options open. Range is king when it comes to knives, and being able to keep the range on someone with a knife is one of the most important things you can do. Keep them at firearm's range and there is very little they can do. Let a knife fighter close the gap, and there is very little you will probably be able to do.
Thank You Sir!
Most welcome!
Awesome Video, Dude! 👍👍👍
Thanks! 👍
HOPE YOU HAVE PRAYED BEFORE HAND, FOR IF THE ATTACKER IS TRAINED AND EXPERIENCED YOUR CHANCE TO LIVE IS VERY LITTLE CHANCE TO LIVE ; BUT DO NOT GIVE UP; FIGHT BACK WITH DEADLY FORCE FOR YOUR LIFE , AND DO NOT LET HIM ATTACK FIRST YOUR ONLY CHANCE IS TO ATTACK THE ATTAKER WITH THE KNIFE AND KEEP THE ATTACKER AWAY FROM CLOSE COMBAT FOR YOUR LIFE, IN AND OUT OF THE FIGHT ZONE IF YOU CAN , BUT THE BEST WAY TO SURVIVE IS AVOID THE ATTACK !...
Great Video GREAT topic. I do carry a folder myself(Smith and Wesson border guard). I feel fairly comfortable with it,something I'm not seeing alot of is the reverse grip or ice pick grip,particularly in Filipino martial arts.
Depends somewhat on the particular style of FMA but the saber grip does give you more versatility and a little more range
Thanks you Master💪🏾💯🥋 from Philippines, i train what you teach in video 'cause don't have money to enroll in gym.
If you ask a filipino what to do when someone attacks you with a blade or knfe the bset defense is to run 90% of the time get as much distance as possible or you can fight if you have a blade one thing is for sure you will be seeing a lot blood but most of the time if the man is skilled you will never see him coming and you will be lying in a pool blood
Awesome...I trained with Jeff Bray !!! In east Wenatchee WA. Progresive Fighting Concept ! An amazing trainer and marthe largest !!!🙌☘️🤜🤛 I live outside of portland towards the coast and looking for someone that trains filipino arnies or some open hand and knife fighting !!!☘️🙌🤟 Thank You and like your Videos !!!👍
Knee up and push off wall with other leg. Attack groin. Hold shin as block. Human shins can regrow ligament and skin tissue, similar to a gecko. Sacrifice legs to protect core.
Your femoral artery is in your legs. I don't think you should block period unless you absolutely have to.
@@daijodan brachial artery laceration causes loss of consciousness in less time than femoral laceration
@@daijodan applying tourniquet to leg is more ideal than arm
@@daijodan I've bled from both leg and arm in such quantities that I saw my pulse visible in the flow of my blood and I can assure you that I would rather be cut in the leg than arm
@@FarmerDrew Checking a knife attack with your shin still seems inefficient, slow and ultimately pointless to me. People aren't dogs, they're not just gonna go for the closest target and repeatedly attack it. You're also sacrificing most of you mobility, which is likely more important than blocking unless again you absolutely have to. There are probably a hundred other reasons not to block a knife with your shin.
In a situation where you can’t run constantly slapping the hand away isn’t a defence. How do you disarm someone with a knife?
AS A SKILLED KNIFE MYSELF (NO SHIT, REALLY) MY FAVORITE DEFENSE WOULD BE A TIME MACHINE …
You said you did not want to teach anyone how to murder someone; but in fact, you did just teach a any bad individual with bad intent how to murder an unarmed individual. Situational awareness, maintaining distance, timing and escape as soon as possible are all one has in this scenario. You are correct in that running and getting away is the most effective response in maintaining one's life in this scenario. IMHO. Peace.
I like this but there’s two issues I personally have, first is the thumb on top of the knife I know everyone has there reasons but that’s a opening to get cut. Second is this video was how to survive a knife attack not attack some one very confusing but it does show what happens on the attacker view point which does show what you can do but do those who don’t know any kali or counter offense drills this can be a problem. Regardless much respect and awesome video. ☯️
Good reason to cane train, and carry one, or some good OC spray.
There u go...👍
First rule of self-defense. Do cardio and train Martial arts
i attended a training session with felix valencia. very eye opening.
do they have dojo or just online video??
So, in answer to the title of the video:
- gun
- run
- train martial arts
How To Defend Against A Skilled Knife Attacker: Plan A: Run; Plan B: Have a Knife and be trained with it.
Yeah this video is mostly about how to attack someone with a knife. Defending requires preparation, alertness, weapons, distance and mobility none of which are mentioned. The fact is most knife attacks are surprise blitz attacks and if you survive the first few attacks then the only defense is to 1 use your feet run or kick this often does not discourage them but may afford an opportunity to get into a better position or get a weapon. Where I am from this is usually a glass bottle or ten which can be thrown rapid fire. The knife's weakness is range and being cirnered is the worst position so anything you can do to create space will help.
Our footwork is reverse of the Chinese Wing Chun triangle to advance or move back according to their advance...it's also to move in and move to side-angles to avoid attacks or counters and still be in range for our counterattacks CQB. There's also "Largo" long-range attacks. Medium range attacks. These are close range attacks, which is good to train because Attackers dictate the time & proximity of a surprise attack. Learned this when I lived in Philippines for 7yrs.👍 Train, train, train. Cardio. People smoke pot, cigs, vape & ruin their lungs. Good advice " Don't think you're better than everyone out there." Most skilled Pinoys are humble. Some are not. What U never know surprises.
Bruce Lee trained, sparred with his Filipino student & friend Dan Inosanto. Jeet Kun Do Bruce Lee's MMA is a good example of advancing from his Wing Chun traditional forms to modern street brawling attacks, defenses & counters. I'm part Filipino...so Mabuhay! Astig sa bakbakan!
I tell my grappling students all the time the reality of the skilled knife fighter. Better to run then to try a real Kalista.
Curious about Dog attacks, perhaps you have some good advice for that as well. Whether it is on yourself or another person or a child. Asking this since it's been a bit more in the news over the last few months, dog attacks that is. PS! Love dogs, so this is purely for understanding how to manage ill-behaved dogs. Thanks for sharing your expertise!
Just standing in a corner and trying to defend is ridiculous. Kicks, knees, slip to your right. Bear hug/body slam anything but stand there and try to use hand defense
Hey guys do they have a video how to defend and beat againt skilled knife attacker ? Thanks in advance ....
*_0:01_*
*_Kevin Goat, Sir • • •_*
*_You_*
*_Are_*
*_TERRIFYING!!_*
😉😁
Skilled guy with a knife met unskilled guy with a short machete.
Thank you, Kevin, for showing everyone exactly what a real knife attack would look like. I've been telling everyone, go watch the movie, "American Me". There's no way to survive a knife attack like that where the knifeman is slashing and stabbing like a jackhammer.
That is not like how Jujutsu and Judo depict knife attacks, the attacker coming in with just one long stab, extending his arm allowing you to grab it.
Thank you, Kevin, for being honest and forthright in admitting survival against a skilled knife fighter is very low to nil.
The best defense after avoidance is, run away! Barring that, don't get cornered. After that, if you're forced to defend, think, ninja, fight real dirty, be crafty, be resourceful. Find anything around you like a chair and any expedient weapon.
Always take a gun to a knife fight...
Lot of Wilderbest have that bladed serrati look. And Lions, just skip it and go in for the carcass part. Wise Dog 720
I appreciate a lot of what you said the only problem is you titled the video how to defend against a skilled knife attacker, but there was no defense shown how to defend against an attacker who corners you. The video should have been titled how a skilled knife attacker is going to attack you in a corner.
Have you heard of a new movie project coming out called The Last Kumite
Ok so what if for instance a person can't run..what then goat
Knives are and have been the original tools for survival. Also it don't run out of ammo, and it don't make loud noises, to be discreet. bring unnecessary attention.
Nobody wants to be in a combative situation with a knife. I am civil I am responsible of my own wellbeing of my knowledge and understanding of tactical close quarter combat with any tools from a Sharpie Marker - melee, kitchenware, tool cabinet, even toiletpaper. Most knife fighters in the military to learned to be stealthy with their tools. Nobody would even know who or what happened. And blame it on somebody to take the fall. This is the world we been surviving lately.
We were more humbling in the 90s...
Learn the trick of never being afraid of the knife. If you fear it. It will cut you! Or you will cut yourself... if you fear nothing and train yourself to catch flying blades and arrows and spar with someone to dodge block and use body weight momentum techniques from knife attacks. Is ideal
Practice make perfect
Enjoy my knowledge
It's fucked what humans do to eachother.
True
Use some kicks. Ninjitsu has a lot of defensive/offensive knife attack techniques. Awesome video. Mix it up with different techniques.
How do you do kicks at close range and being pinned against a wall?
I'm Filipino. There's several counter kicks...but I'm reserving it for my arsenal. One I learned from an Army Airborne Ranger buddy, first do your best to control or deal with that leveraging (live) and bladed hand...then go for a Ranger Stomp that ankle at angle hitting it buckling it against the floor. ( Sprained ankle or if u break it... renders one bad leg) He can't chase u and will have to crawl. Good if u got boots on. Snap it! *Don't do it unless ur life is in danger, because there are legal, medical bill ramifications. Or sweep him / chuck him in the abdominal/ solar plexus area, Or grab an arm even if yer cut & slam him into that wall corner with all you got. His eyes, throat, nuts are in range. I would grab bite, gouge the eyes....fight like a cornered wolverine. U need access to your knife quick...if it's a folder it should Not sit all the way in your pocket, but the clip should hold the folded knife a lil bit above your pocket for quick grab, deployment & counter offense attacks. Also see how victim/ defender has his fists up by his neck...I keep a pointed defense pen clipped on my inner shirt collar so I can grab it quick from that hands up defensive position.✌️🖖
You didn’t show how to disarm the attacker.
This is the reason why in the U.S. Navy 1960s-1980s the Puti (whites - No disrespect) were surprised at their Filipino shipmates knife skills. ✌️ I'm knife attack & counter proficient...but like most say...I WOULD run or get a stick or longer weapon quick.
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
If you encounter a skilled knife wielder just run, create obstacles, throw things, and if you shoot learn to shoot while in motion…oh and never ever defend empty hand vs knife or machete….,,
Coitado do cara
U didn't show how to defend u showed how to attack
I HAVE BEEN LUCKY THE ATTACKERS WITH KNIFES WERE NOT GOOD KNIFE FIGHTERS, AND EASY TO TAKE OUT OR TO GET TO RUN AWAY WHEN THEY SEEN I WAS NOT A VICTIM; THEY WERE BECOMING THE VICTIMS OF A MARTIAL ARTIST THAT CARE NOT HOW I LEFT THEM INJURED OR WORSE ! BUT REMEMBER THIS THE BEST FIGHTER WILL SHOW HIS SKILL FIRST IF MORE THAN ONE IS ATTACKING YOU BEST OF LUCK ! I HAVE BEEN THERE AND I AM ALMOST 76 YEARS OLD NOW !...
Lebih dari setengah video ini isinya bukan bagaimana cara defense attack knife..tapi bagaimana cara menikam..it means if we meet attack knife just run...😁
Nice to have options, but a "skilled " opponent is probably gonna cut you or worse😂😂
All through history skilled knife fighters and sword fighters caught each other in battles. So it's not impossible to win.
But they were both armed with similar weapons
@@idx1941there are several news here in the philippines before who survived knife attacks from armed robbers but they are skilled fighters too like the old taxi driver who killed i think 2 robbers in manila but he is a doce pares in cebu and an uncle of my friend who killed a jeepney robber but he is a yawyan and kali practitioner also
I really don't like the implication that dudes with knives are somehow invincible.
@@glens2019 they are not...but they possess a deadly weapon, and if you are unarmed, then you don't!
@@glens2019 I never said they were.
Why do you always pick smaller guys to fight against in you demos?
Because we are short guys and Kevin is 6'3"
I thought the name of the video was "HOW TO DEFEND AGAINST..." Not "how to use a knife to make your opponent dead meat"
Run!!!!
"I hate to burst your bubble, but in reality, there is very little you can do against a skilled knife attacker."
I had zero bubbles, from the title alone.
Exactly. Before I even clicked on the video I thought, "This is where being aware of your surroundings, and having a concealed firearm, comes into play.." introducing a bladed weapon completely changes everything. Put that blade in the hands of someone who knows how to use it, and there's just very little chance that a person survives that attack without an equalizer/force multiplier.
@@mattjack3983 The pew pew will have to do do.
i studied martial arts for years then learned i didnt have too. I was christian all i needed to do was learn how to do exorcisms. Any person trying to kill you has demons you can call angel down to attack that demon.
@@Dee-qo7gh While I agree that anyone attacking you is likely inhabited by something, we have no control over angels. They are The Lord's alone to order. Technically (maybe), per Jude 1:9, all you have to say is "The Lord rebuke you". If it worked on their leader, I assume it works on the minions, idk.
May we never acquire the knowledge.
@@RamonaQ obviously you know nothing about spiritual warfair. You know satanist can send demons to attack peoples lives but christans cant send angels to attack them back stop playing.
RUN!!!!
9:24 minutes of how to attack with a knife. 3 seconds to say Run or train martial arts. 9:21 minutes too long for the title of the video
I was able run very fast when I was young but not anymore. Now what?
we also made a youtube short which might be more up your alley
Learn the 21 foot rule
sorry my man rather use stick i will faint at the sight of blood
🔫🔫🔫
Sorry, Sir, terrible thing is happening: More than six minutes out of 9 :24 you are demonstrating various ways of attacks with knife, the remaining 3 minites cannot save the presentation. A wrong approach. Paul, 67,retired instructor of Karate
I agree. He said "this isn't a video to teach you how to knife someone" - but that's EXACTLY what he's done.
Stupid!!
