Ich war tatsächlich in dieser Situation. Ich war äußerlich cool, weil ich nicht voreilig handeln wollte und überhaupt verblüfft war. Es ging so schnell. War mit einem Klassenkameraden unterwegs. Wir haben gequatscht. Und auf einmal hatte ich ein Messer am Hals. Ich habe wirklich gedacht ich sterbe. Im Nachhinein weiß ich, oder glaube ich dass er nie die Intention hatte mich zu töten. Denn er hat mich "nur" gequält. Er stellte mir ständig irgendwelche Fragen und egal wie ich geantwortet habe, er hat mir in die Fresse gehauen. Ich dachte kurz daran ihn zu schlagen, aber ich wusste wenn es nicht klappt, dann war es das. So habe ich es gemacht wie der Typ im Video: Ich habe kooperiert. An dem Tag habe ich gelernt "der Typ mit der Waffe hat immer recht". Irgendwann, nach einer gefühlten Ewigkeit sagte sein Kumpel er solle es gut sein lassen.. Man kommt zwar drüber hinweg, aber von Zeit zu Zeit denkt man noch darüber nach.
As a marine veteran, I have to say this is extremely practical. When I taught as an instructor in the corps, I always taught core plus, and it was similar to this. Spot on sir. I’ll also add, accepting that you will get cut in a knife fight helps. Just accept that it will happen and mentally the situation will be a little easier to deal with. At that point, you’re concerned with minimizing the damage of the cut and where it is, than preventing a cut at all.
I love how realistic this training is. No praying mantis shit. Just immediate and effective ways to deal with real world problems. Everything I have watched from the Urban Combatives is top class and would recommend it to anyone.🙏
I like this guy. Has a realistic approach, doesn't pick the smallest guy in class to attack him and walks through the steps while explaining why you do this.
Love this guys realism. His mental attitude and approach is spot on. He's 100% correct. Prepare mentally for these situations as much as you can. I assure you when it happens for real you must engage and follow through and execute the manoeuvre with everything you have. And remember 'The sparrow doesn't land where the Tiger roams'
You are brilliant 👏 real life and true to what the reality is when it happens. A great teacher. Keep doing what you do as you are one of the best I've seen out there.
I like the biting, it's a difficult mental part of self defense. You have to be dedicated that your attacker deserves it. It's a posibility that is easy to forget. A human has enough power to bite the attacker fingers off.
The way you lead into this segment, is so on point: This is the worst self-defense situation to be in, if you are in this spot, you have totally screwed up and you better be the real deal. You can always get more money. If my life gets bought for the price of what's in my wallet, that's a great price. I actually keep about $40 in cash, loose, specifically for this situation. Against a professional with a knife, you're pretty well fucked as they'll use your clothing to pull you into the blade: they'll also inevitable switch hands, this is where most people get killed by the aggressor. The winner of a knife fight dies in the ambulance, the loser dies in the street. (Subscribed, USA)

Brilliant - although now seeing how strong guys are, it's a bit scary. The secondary location thing is so important and that doing your best not to go to a secondary location means expect to be hurt but better than dead.
AFTER you pushed the knife away WITH 2 hands(like you did here) so you have the leverage advantage on his weapon arm, you could torque the wrist(inward or sideways) SHARP AND QUICKLY...he WILL DROP THE KNIFE NO MATTER HOW STRONG HE IS. You could ALSO slang him into the wall behind you...if he has to choose between holding onto the knife or BREAKING HIS FALL TO AVOID A FACEPLANT most ppl would try to break their fall😒😒😒💯💯💯🧔🏾♂️
We tested that. And it failed miserably. People have this emotional connection to the weapon. If you don’t make their brain occupied they will go ape to protect that blade. Resetting the OODA loop is crucial. So if you do what you just described do it only when you hurt him first with a strike or bite before going into your tactic. I mean depending on the subject everything could work when it’s deployed with the right element of surprise and intention.
Great video as always from Urban Combatives. When someone wants to take you to a second location, he's usually taking you to his friends. If that happens, your chances of defending yourself or getting out of the situation is pretty well zero. Like coach said, now you have to fight for your life.
Great point about asking a question and breaking concentration. All I can add is, the wall you are pressed against might be useful as a blunt force weapon. If its brick, stucco, concrete or otherwise rough, and you can leverage the weapon hand against it and tear skin, or if it was cork or had gaps from brick or wood boards, trap the sharp tip for leverage as you fight for control. If you can use leverage from your waist to slam your opponent's head against the solid wall, that may also help in the eventual counter-attack.
The best series I have seen so far. Things like "Ask him a question" are the way it goes. It is all about psychology and you are always more dedicated as life threatened than the one just likes to get a few bucks out of you. But: awareness is allied #1. If you have to fight you missed something. ALWAYS! Most of the times because one likes to stand his silly man. And no, it is not smart bringing ya face to the knifes edge...
This is as close to experiencing a real life attack as you can get while being able to not die and learn from the event. This training is not fun but is the right stuff to stay alive! Comparing to other types of instructors is like saying... do youvwant rubber 22s or soft point .338 lapua
This looks pretty practical and realistic, do you guys also train defences against knife threats from different positions (from the back, from right or left side, etc)?
@@schoolofselfprotection if I lived in Holland I would definitely take your classes, but unfortunately there is no way from Russia to Holland anymore However, check Carl Cestari's knife defence video from "old school series" vids, they help me a lot in my self-defence training
@@schoolofselfprotection Sir, I want to know, how much do u weigh in kg? I am 98. Just want to compare. Well anyway a hooligan must be totally insane to attack someone like u. I've been to several Russian defense schools. They all suck. The only one that rocks is yours. Myself is a semi pro in martial art. Would you care to think about founding a branch/affiliate in Moscow?
i'm a boxer,my teachers have always told me the same thing ,in fron tof a knife,run,run,run... Vs someone that knows how to use it,you will die or get badly cut 100% of the times...
Looks like Cobra Kai went from strike first strike hard No Mercy to cut slash stab first kill hard No Mercy lol. Really good video though. Everything you advised is on point and very true.
I have been there. You have to think fast. The wallet thing and talking is good. Also, if the fucker is coked out of his mind, it is a different game. If you can run muthafucker, run....
As someone with a very high level in KM as well as many years of experience in other combat sports/arts... when someone threatens you with a knife like this and asks for money..phone.. and they already got you in this position.. GIVE IT TO THEM! Do not risk your life or serious injury attempting disarms. If their goal is not money or material things... then fight... for your life.
Asking the question first is a key most people over look, it is called the OODA loop response that law enforcement use. Look into the research itbis fascinating.
Questions: 1. If at any point your assailant dropped the knife, would you pick it up if you safely could? Or just palm strike/kick/whatever and then run? 2. Do you in a situation like this ever spit in the assailants eyes? You ask the brain-engaging question, the second he begins to respond you spit and simultaneously isolate the weapon? One KM instructor I’ve met advocated eye spitting. Said there’s no man on earth that will not close his eyes if you spit into them. Makes sense, but I rarely see it taught. If I have a knife on my carotid artery my mouth might be too dry to spit anyway.
I take the guy with the grey t shirt with one hand in my back 🤣🤣🤣. All shit appart you doing à great job, no non-sens pseudo self défens with ninja technics that would drive you to your grave yard. 👍👍👍👍
I came to this video after commenting on a video before... 🙂🙂🙂 Given the way my brain reacts in survival situation, I know, my smile itself will short circuit the attacker's brain, before I take physical action against the attacker.
I had someone who had already stabbed me and I got away but they ran at me. I grabbed their knife hand with both my hands but they quickly swapped hands leaving both my hands on the wrong arm.
Really like that there no ego, just honest no bullshit, from acknowledgement of emotions to simple effective management, also like the explanation of short term memory compared to something in the back of your mind and how in a split second that can be the difference of reaction
Love your teachings brother everything you teach is realistic and effective. Your approach re the mindset is what many others dont involve in situations 👏👏👏👏👏👏
Im curious do most have these type of attacks or robberies have the blade close to your face to make you acknowledge there is a deadly threat? I always wondered about someone holding a knife to your stomach or even stabbing im the ribs or lung.
Just a question not criticism. In Gracie jiu jitsu the self defense part of our teaching we pin the hand to the chest . This gives you control of the knife better. Instead of pushing the knife away push away by moving and then glueing the back of the hand to you're chest for more stability. What do you think about that? Love the training just started foundation course one going to teach my whole family this.
Pinning can be a great option! Depends on the position of the knife. But work and fight back from this pin! Hope the foundation course brings you a lot!!
The best part about this is the combination of reality, explanation of why, psychology, neurological programming, honest emotional response, and physical reactions. Priceless!

Thanks a lot! We need to keep it real right? 🙏🏻
This is probably the best self defense shit I’ve ever seen. You hold nothing back from what is truth.
Thank you very much!
We need more realistic gun and knife defense
Thanks
Great job on this situation, there is no safer way to handle this than what you did.
Thank you! Much Appreciated 🙏🏻
Remember everyone, bad guys usually bring or have 2 knives so have that in mind even if they have one knife or one on you.
Man I would love to recieve a bit of training from him. And practice on my own.
You can.I think he does online classes that I will start doing soon and train with a partner.

a very clear line of approach how to not get cut... however main thing never to get in such a stupid situation...

'Cash or card? ' and drop it on the floor, when they pick it up, fuck them up.
Your English is better than mine and I am English ,quality video again😎
Love that little note at the end about 'asking him a question' to preoccupy the attacker for a moment. Very simple yet effective.

Given the way my brain reacts in survival situation, I know, my smile itself will short circuit the attacker's brain, before I take physical action against the attacker.
The bite is really good after that kick.. the attacker will not expect that.. especially after the question and kick. And bite hard.
Thank you!
I had someone who had already stabbed me and I got away but they ran at me. I grabbed their knife hand with both my hands but they quickly swapped hands leaving both my hands on the wrong arm.
Be sure you be counter offensive instead of defending only. This is how you reset their OODA loop
Very good advice !
Thanks!
Excellent technique if you have the right neuro-mimicking training conditions… would love to train with this expert!!
Really like that there no ego, just honest no bullshit, from acknowledgement of emotions to simple effective management, also like the explanation of short term memory compared to something in the back of your mind and how in a split second that can be the difference of reaction
Awesome defense but man I'd hate to bite them, they may have aids. I'd try this without biting
And how can you defend yourself from a knife person that knows self defense can you still survive if your a martial art person
You probably die anyway. Even with the right training it’s about damage limitation.
Love your teachings brother everything you teach is realistic and effective. Your approach re the mindset is what many others dont involve in situations 👏👏👏👏👏👏

Good morning Sensei this is the best part of the training thank you so much , cause I just learned little bit more.
