NEW KNIFE DEFENSE PRORAM 48 STEP BY STEP LESSONS: www.nickdrossoscourses.com/courses/knife-defense
In short, they do not have the experience of a street gang member. a skinny from my neighborhood the first thing they would do to beat you is to run backwards and take a stone and throw it at the same time you already have your hand cut, kicked plus you never mind 1 vs 1. also make the feint and throw the knife with force to more or less short distance. or make the feint of pressing the knife on the other hand with the other hand throws sand in your eyes or pebbles when you knock it down if you can, but it opens the tendons of your hands, as much as you can. for lugo run back as cowards and then burst to stone, once invalid and just come to put you how many patches of resentment you find them before their failure because the normal only you steal and are attentive to the police to run.
Knife is not easy to defend against...but the techniques you are doing make sense...unlike what happening in normal martial arts clean techniques...thanks for your videos..I am thinking to take self defence classes
Mr The Man thanks.. it’s not easy, but trying to keep it as real as possible. Check out my site for more tips www.nickdrossos.com
Really instructive the way you deliver kicks and fists, not necessarily large and coming from a mile away, but quick, repetitive, and pointy, like if your force was going through every last inch of your fingers or toes to keep each of your blows as painful as possible in the end.
Very useful, i could sense a complete neuromuscular connection in the way you fight. I won't forget that.

@@landrodaoud1531 thanks for the comment
Now THIS is a social experiment
Thank you!
LordBabu I find this funny that you said this a year ago and it says he replied 20 hours ago,what are the odds I watch the vid and see this comment
Justin Lennox looool
So realistic. Love that you go out and put your stuff to a test unlike many guys that teach unrealistic knife defense such as Kali guys and then they go around taking about how it works without any proof.
+Damjan Visnjic Luckily, Kali has a lot of sparring, so if techniques doesn't work, they will simply do something else... I do Kali myself, and also jujitsu. I must say that traditional martial arts such as jujitsu teaches some of the most unrealistic forms of knife defences, truth be told.
I did modern arnis and yes martial arts are horrible when comes to reality, such a small percentage can actually work.
Thanks so much! I am doing my best to come as close as possible to challenging myself and teaching real knife defense.
I totally agree!
why would they tackle you when they have a knife? Also, your point is not that invalid in this instance because the attacker has a weapon, so he will have balls of steel to attack even a bigger person.
Finaly a realistic knife defence vid that showed exactly what I've been saying for years: If you wanna know how effective your knife defence is, put on a white T-shirt, give some random guy some head gear and a marker and offer him some money to try and mark you.
You did that exactly!
It also showed just what I expected , that good striking skills are going to be your biggest asset in such a situation. A good understanding of distance timing and good reflexes developed from years of sparring will serve you more than most of the fantasy based SD being taught. awesome job!
Thanks so much for sharing!
Your accuracy, footwork, skills, technique, etc... is too good and not mentioning that you are 40 years old :)
Thanks Mustafa
Now that's some realistic self defense. None of that choreographic kung fu stuff that only works in movies.
Thanks man, was very challenging. You never know who was going to attack me. Thanks for watching!
nice to see real knife self-defence on u-tube!!
How? He only gave them the heart to go after. In real life his leg and wrists would've been sliced up,real easy when you give someone a marker and tell them one spot to go for. Stop kissing ass.
@@sadetwizelve Not just hurt. Besides, the point was to hit the vital spots that could kill you if they were injured.
don't drag Kung Fu into this
This is awesome, those leg kicks may have crossed a few boundaries but overall you pulled it off, great job and great moves man.
Thanks so much!
Yeh it reminded me of when I used to train Thai and you'd always get the one guy who would throw leg kicks way to hard I'm sparring
Self defense videos/training needs full speed tests/mat time like this. Would like to see this in a confined and close quarters space.
In reality you/someone will not be afraid to do damage. Should use improvised weapons, throw stones on the ground, dirty move.. Safety comes first. Good video, that is a Real social experiment!!
as far as knife defense goes.. this is as realistic as you can get while being safe. Not only you taught the trick/technique/kata or whatsoever on your channel but boom you go out there and tested it on various people and see how your technique tested against various way of attacks, especially the naked guy who went all the way to the ground. great video nick!!
Thanks so much!
BEEN IN MARTIAL ARTS 40 YEARS AND THIS MAN IS SUPER KNOWLEDGABLE AND LEGIT AND AWESOME TEST VIDEO HERE ! THANKS FOR THE SHARE (y) CHEERS Sandy Holt
THANKS SO MUCH!!!
Love these social experiments!
Wow this is amazing im 13 and learning self defence because at my school there was 3 kidnappings so im learning self defence and dude ur vids do teach me as well! Keep up the good work 👏🏼👍🏼
Thank you so much!
So you're 18 or 19 now correct?
Best knife defense video ever. Seriously. I saw a lot that looked like JKD in that video.
yeah it looks like JKD
Thank you!
John Drake i wanted to say the same, lot's of. jkd
I agree.
the leg kicks were so effective in keeping the attacker at bay. great video nick.☺
Great video! I remember my judo instructor always said that to the class, if you get that chance run!
sick dude the fight scenes are like the tekken lol
Thanks!
@@NickDrossos I love the striking , majority of videos are only showing the techniques to grab the knife but a good mix of striking and grappling is great,well my opinion isn't very important I have never been un that situation but I found the video very useful
Wow, that was AWESOME! Good job Nick!
Thank you!
this gets me pumped.
oh yeah i gotta praise your stance and your light feet, your reflects clearly shows you are a seasoned combatant
Half of the recommended videos are "30 seconds to Mars: attack " lol...
I noticed that too haha
Been looking at your videos for a while now and I have to say it's helped me show others I'm not the one to mess with thanks a bunch only lost against either bigger people or a group
I figured out years back doing martial arts, any type of grab won't work unless you stun the person first. But like some of the comments below, I agree a knife attack is hardly seen coming. However stand-offs like this DO happen.
A few years back a man (with training in jiu jitsu)in my country was chasing a perp (I think a burglar, not sure), but eventually the guy faced the man. The perp attacked with a knife from the get go & and as far as I can recall it was not conceiled. The other man succesfully defended himself. Either the perp ran way or was arrested. I also don't remember, LOL, newspaper articles...
Not so long ago (a few months or a year ago)an old female classmate of mine told about a burglar incident she & her husband experienced. There was noise at one of their doors (I think it was the backdoor, could have been the front), the husband opened said door & there was a burglar with a screwdriver. There was a short fight & the burglar ran away. The husband had a few small stab wounds but nothing too serious.
Conclusion, there are different kinds of situations you can run into.
That was absolutely awesome, man! I really enjoyed that. Quickness, footwork, distancing, hand traps to strikes, all the different leg kicks, seeing all of it was great.
Now I have a better idea of what to do if faced with that, so thank you!
“Are you ok?” What a good man
Pretty cool seeing how this channel has grown so much in terms of content. Keep it up, these videos are just getting better everytime
Great video, Nick! Thanks always, for the time and dedication you make in putting together these videos for us.
Awesome! You can learn a lot through these experiments.
Thank you very much. Keep the work up.
Well done mate. I'm from Australia and love your work. Thanks
This is worth so much more than all those self defense videos where they show fance moves on an attacker coming in in slow motion, stuff you would never be able to pull off in reality
Great Videos man!! Thank you so much for everything you are teaching us.👍👍
Really cool, I loved your work out in the field with random people more please !!!! Your vids are great to watch, educational and entertaining !
Great video!
Loving the humbleness and philosophy you teach with these knife defense techniques.
I can really appreciate the attention you pay to realism versus overly complicated "plans."
No one ever "wins" in these situations. One can only survive. Get out of there alive.
Respect, man! :)
***** Right back at ya!
This is great. Analyzing everyone's different striking techniques.
excellent!! I've seen your other videos, and I admire the reality in your method!
Thank you so much!
Brilliant work Nick, well done as always brother!
Thank you Paul!
you did it men, i am proud of you, really nice video, i do know how hard is to do a video like this, you got my respects and admiration. well done, I will not only share this video, but i will show it to people and i will add to favorites
This video is amazing. It shows that even as an experienced self defense trainer you can get in pretty bad situations. It highlights the importance of defusing the situation beforehand, or even hitting first. Never underestimate your enemy.
This is so cool Nick. I've been a boxer for a while now and this is awesome to see. Nice music
Nick that was really awesome doing the social experiment nice job Nick keep up the awesome work and the videos.
Great demonstration Nick love the realism/unpredictability.... keep rocking
Great video thank you !!
Real application and demonstration. Really liked it.
such a fun also informative content. Really bring people to reality and how fights take place. I respect what you do man and i am sure you taught these people on the experiment and us on youtube some valuable lessons !
Thanks Tyler
Saw a few of your videos and I loved them, Subbed !!
Thanks so much Emilio.
The most iconic Nicholas video. This is,a legend.
Kept a smile on my face all way threw the video :)
He is 💯 legit❤! I studied martial arts over 20 years and you don't have any idea how up I appreciate you not blowing smoke up my ass about knife defense!!!! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!! THIS COULD SAVE SOMEONES LIFE!!!!!!
Very educated one and thanks for sharing
Excellent. This is real training
That's the most realistic training I have seen so far.
3:48 lol I thought the cops were coming because they were fighting
lol
What you have shown is that the techniques you teach work... This was a very good video because it gives me confidence in your teaching
man you rock!! i love your techniques! greetings from cyprus
That was a tonne of fun to watch and the guys were such good sports!
step 1- Step back
step 2- turn around
step 3-.run as hell
it works 100%
Not if you are in a car, elevator, staircase or close quarters
Also if the person with the knife is faster than you.
Or there´s a door in your way. Before you open the door, you will get stabbed in the back.
@@jirkazalabak1514 Or the knife over actually knows how to use it and by some chance know how to throw it. I had quite much experience in knife combat, i had trained it for few years, meet some awesome people that can perform some crazy shit with even simple and dull blade piece. If you by any chance encounter a guy who knows some shit and he is using a decent knife that is well balanced ure fucked - unless its winter time and ure wearing really thick coat like 9/10 well done throws will burry that blade deep in ur back. Sure - run away, but first of all work out the situation that allows you to make a safe run [im talking about open enviroment, since we already covered that we wont run in staircase etc], stun the guy, blind him [with pepper spray or improvise - use dirt, use anything], drop down the attacker and then run like hell. Never turn ur back to a knife wielder, there is 95% chance you will end in that knife burried into ur spine.
@@Zekzt Since you have so much experience, would you care to explain why would you stab someone in the spine when there are so many other soft spots on the torso?
I'm learning KM and this is very interesting to watch, thanks. Looked like fun too!
This video got a good laugh out of me ...
because your messing around with ppl that are not experience with knives... try with someone that knows how to handle a knife better for a good demo
Awesome job
Great work Nick as always... :-)
That's incredibly intense. And fair play to the people who willingly took part to practise with you. It made this so much more spontaneous and realistic, like I'd imagine how frantic and lethal an attack would be from someone, especially if they're trying to use a knife. Really puts into perspective why many of the best of MMA and self defence trainers tell you to just run if someone truly tries harming or even threatens you with a lethal weapon. It's bloody awful that some still resort to such vicious and cowardly means. But instead of just going along with the mainstream media, labelling them as "evil", better for law enforcement to get to the root cause, which unfortunately, is lack of education and inequality in society. All over the World it's rife 😕🤨
I really enjoy sparring with the "knives". It makes the training for self defence a lot more realistic and more effective.
Thanks so much!
Keep up the great work
love this nick
Avoiding shady, secluded places (poorly lit, alley's...)& making noise will definately help in avoiding this type of situation. No assailant likes their potential victim attracting a crowd.
We want more it's AWESOME.
wow brilliant stuff. wish it was me trying to get you love all your stuff. keeping it really excellent work 😀
Thank you Mark!
Very good demonstration!!!…
great video Nick i love it :)
I love these social experments common do more these are awesome
i love your shit man, i love the message you send out there !! one of the realest guys out there
Πολύ καλό Νίκο!!!Μπράβο!!Καλή δουλειά!!
Nick, You're genius. I love your videos. Very informative and you are able to demonstrate the (+) and (-) of everything. Not a bullshitter and that's why we love you.
Waooow
This tottaly works, that low kick is very important.
Nice to see those moves in action.
👍 thumbs up! Truly enjoyed the social experiment... Might do one like this myself.
I Did That Training in Shadowing Early And Practicing Wrestling Against Knife,
Really interesting, thanks.
Great how bonding such training is, too
Mr nick you are awesome fighters,great job
Amazing video, hope ur having fun on vacation
great experiment, more of these would be awesome
Thanks man, I will be doing many more of these in the summer. Thanks for watching!
Dayum - you quick, bro.
Quick Nick
You're awesome! Love your videos!
More like this please!
Great scenario. Interesting to see how effectively you use low leg kicks to keep the assailant out of striking/stabbing range. Since I do the same thing and find it effective, naturally I agree with this tactic - I'm sure others would disagree - I just know what works for me. I would suggest you provide shin guards to your opponent (I bought a pair of hockey goalie shin guards at Goodwill and paid $10 for the set - also bought a pair of catcher's shin guards at another Goodwill for a few bucks), as it protects their legs and allows you to go harder. I really like this video as you are pressure testing your tactics instead of just doing drills that don't emulate reality. Keep the videos coming- thanks for sharing.
such a good vid!!!! Amazing
This was really cool!
Great video Nick! I really enjoy ur social experiments.
Thanks Cavan
Great experiment!
never love lead leg kick and palm strike in my life than this time, too good :)) the reality and effectiveness, realistic technique that you bring in to this video was open for me another think of close quarter combat, empty hand against weapones violent, i feel more confidence now because I know what and how I need to train now, very thanks to you!
Nick Drossos should have been on "6 martial arts experts locked in a room with a knife" with Martial Arts Journey. I feel like he's one of the only people who knows how to defend a knife attack without dying.
Great video, deffenetely wanna see more of this :)
See this is why Iike your channel. Real life self defence.
I would make atleast 2 dots but only because I own a black belt and I'm a trained cop lol.
This video is really cool! I like how you use leg kicks and palm strikes to the head
in order to stop your attacker from coming in to strike.
Please do more this social experiment!
Soon! thanks for watching
I use to do this with friends
Cool! Thanks for watching!
He was not expecting that haha ...its always the quiet ones
Real cool vid!
Very informative and helpful video. Could be put to good use one day considering I live in a bad area
This is REAL. AMAZING!
Thank you!
Your video is very amazing Nick. This kind of video is very rare on the internet and I really appreciate you being honest and realistic about the knife defense. With all due respect I wish I could go and challenge you like what they did in this video, no offense but just like you, as a martial art practitioner I'm always interested to find out what works and what doesn't (I have participated in competitions several years ago, not anymore now but I think I still have better footwork and feinting movements than these guys in the video). Anyway keep up the good work and guess what I've subscribed to your channel already!
This puts Nick at a huge disadvantage. I mean, c'mon if some dude attacks you with a knife AND head gear ..you in trouble bro! Kudos to Nick
