Self Defense Against A Knife Attack When They Stab

Utilizing the baseball bat grip is one way to control the attacking arm when dealing with any sort of edged weapon, especially when it is a stabbing motion.

Cool video, had to delete a comment because you answered the question. Good stuff.

“I have to immediately go to work” 😭

This is why I carry a 42 inch long combat cane

[@staysafemartialarts]

Smart move there

[@guillaumelefrancois5255]

Carrying weapon is probably the better thing to do.
But you still need close combat technique, just to get the possibility of transitioning to your weapon
I guess cane is the best : it's already in your hand.

👍

[@jacoblaum5931]

Very effective technique master.

[@guillaumelefrancois5255]

Way better than what I learn in a self defense club
But still in some of your options you stay really vulnerable to switch arm.
I think you must avoid this switch, or else you screwed.

Officer Jonah Hernandez was recently butchered in the neck and murdered by an assailant wielding a kitchen knife in much the same manner demonstrated in this video. If you are a current LEO or a civilian with a stable mental status and strong stomach, the body cam vis on Reddit. The video is shockingly graphic and traumatizing to watch. It drives home the importance of learning to defend knife attacks.

[@staysafemartialarts]

this was an incredibly brutal attack. please get out there and train people and understand how to manage your distance.

[@CarlosRamirez-no2js]

Attacker would need to grab the knife with the other hand while you have grip on the knife hand

[@ClantonCombatives]

Thanks for the shoutout.

[@staysafemartialarts]

of course brother!

[@cwood169]

Awesome

[@RGBow]

useful

[@drno62]

Seems like a more detailed Jim Wagner disarm

[@user-xr9oc5fo3m]

i wonder if there were four people then what should i do.

[@adamdavey1]

Good stuff but I wouldn’t want the tip of a knife or blade anywhere near my armpit. I would rather attempt a transition & risk losing control than have a knife tip in my armpit as there is a very vulnerable, very important large artery right there.
It is actually listed as a major target by “knife fighters” due to its location & vulnerability.

[@internationalplayboy20]

What if they start punching with the other arm?

[@staysafemartialarts]

Gonna be hard and very weak punches

[@felixmrak6597]

Why would you decide to not break the arm?

[@drno62]

Because you don't have to

@@felixmrak6597 If the guy's drunk you could probably just run away at that point, if you don't trust the justice system you may not want to take the chance, there are many weird circumstances that could justify a multitude of decisions in the moment

Try to do this with Deanne Lawler attacking you with emotional content, he'll laugh at your fancy technique.

[@staysafemartialarts]

I wouldnt consider this a fancy technique by any means and i have seen that. I would go train a bit under pressure 🤷🏻

[@glennrobinson7193]

@@staysafemartialarts Okay all good, so good luck then to anyone trying this technique against a determined attacker with real intent. I have always been taught never underestimate your attacker, and to always assume he is stronger, faster and more skilled than you.

[@staysafemartialarts]

@@glennrobinson7193not sure your issue with this technique? Just one way to control/isolate the attacking arm. Also taught by some of the top instructors around.

[@glennrobinson7193]

​@@staysafemartialartsI just sent you a rather lengthy reply but the sinister TH-cam in its infinite wisdom must have deleted it. So now I will abbreviate it. The weapon is only a tool. The real weapon is the attacker's brain (his intent).. Shut his brain down by injuring him. E.g. stab his eyes with hand held rigidly palm facing down using tips of the fingers. The way I see it, the advice of getting in a wrestling match for the tool is ill advice, possibly dangerous.

[@staysafemartialarts]

@@glennrobinson7193again i dont deny that. I encourage you to go train with say ryan hoover, aaron jannetti, or craig douglas. Goal is to stop the initial threat (in this case the stabbing) and then you apply as much damage as ya can immediately. Just didnt discuss that part in this

[@Sherlock245]

These video have not save girls like laken riley who died 😢 none of the girls know any of this.

[@LastDickOnEarth]

If the lock doesn't happen and u deflect them - reach for your own knife and strafe backwards slicing at forward attacks from them at their hand as a defensive disarm technique
