Charles was one of our volunteers for this knife defense social experiment. Subscribe to my channel : / @nickdrossos .
With him, we conducted a play-by-play on how you should react if ever someone came at you with a knife.
First of all, if your opponent approaches you closely, you might not be able to run away from him. Especially if he is carrying a knife, it is life threatening and could kill you in a close range. So, you might have no other choice but to defend yourself.
For instance, when an attacker comes near you with a knife intent on harming or killing you, your first reaction should be to put your hands up to protect your centerline. Your stance should be neutral, passive. You have to try your best to not panic and to not show your fear to your opponent.
If he begins approaching and tries to hurt you, you need to trap the knife that is in his hand. Once you trap the knife, you have to keep your hands on it while striking him back using your hands, elbows, or even your legs.
If you can't trap the knife and he's slashing at you, strike him back with some low line kicks while parrying the knife. Get him to move back, if you strike well enough he might even lose his balance and you will have the upper hand. Your objective should be to trap the knife as quickly as possible though, and cause enough damage that allows you to escape the situation.
Let's say you have trapped the knife, and your opponent manages to switch the knife into his other hand. You must follow and be aware of the knife and where it is going, so you can trap it and then begin striking him.
Having said that, you need to be aware and focus on your attacker's energy and movements, and where that knife is being aimed at so you don't get badly hurt. Focus on trapping the knife, following its movements, and causing just enough damage that gives you time to get out and make it out alive.
Your comments are always appreciated.
Stay Safe & Stand Strong,

The stranger that they picked out to do this experiment, i can tell he's a natural. He has great reactions!!! He'll do well under pressure.
He's from Africa. Everything can kill you there!
look at the size of those hands... he has major advantages even with no training.
lol. I am from Africa you made me laugh
Lol maybe you should have started by saying that it was a rubber knife
Yeah I think the reaosn he was so scared of it is because he thoguht it was real xD
Herbert De Leon social exp moron...you dont use real knife on random strangers nobody will say yeah I whonna get cut lol
Herbert De Leon ikr, I swear he nearly shit himself when he got poked with it
LMFAO
"Would you like to be in a video?"
-ummm
"Okay so.."
+Zoe Anna lmao
ROFL
Lmao
This guy did a lot better than anyone else I've seen in this series. He actually lands a strike and even shakes the camera person's hand too. Knows how to fight and has manners.
one of the best martial art instructors on the net. fun and informative videos. don't stop making them nick.
Thanks so mjuch, I try to keep it real.
did you steal his watch?
George Washingturnt EXACTLY what i was thinking, ahahaha !
George Washingturnt hahaha!!
George Washingturnt LMAO
+Dario Kruv hahaha
Haha was thinking the same thing!
This poor guy is too sweet to be doing this!! :)
Giulia Chapman That’s exactly why he should. Sweetness doesn’t save your life. Practice does. Sweetness makes the saved life rich.
For someone without experience his skills are very good! Well done sir, thumbs up
Cool social experiment. But just some thoughts:
1. Knife attacks are usually done through stabbing (normal grip or ice pick grip). Slashing? Not so much. Not enough length.
2. A stab has to REACH you. Immediately going on a trapping mindset may not be the best move. I'd rather be mindful of the range and environment. And i'd parry/slap the attacking hand if he enters my range.
3. In a knife fight, the chance of you getting cut is very high. It's injury vs survival. NOT survival vs getting out squeaky clean.
4. In relation to #2, having a "don't-touch-me" mindset is better. Cause the perp won't get a chance to grab you.
5. Again in relation to #2, a knife attack will most likely be done straightforwardly. Moving away from the attacker's centerline (while parryinn for example) may create enough space for you to...whatever. I'd push and run.
Here's a potato.;p
Just some thoughts. Not an expert. Just a fan. Keep-up the great vids nick.
Mabuhay ka.
i think this guys skills are better than his confidence : P
Rene Lefuté much respect for these men facing the chalenge. Nick you are very good teacher.
he was like oh no i can't do it ... but it turns out he has a knack for this kind of thing
Did he keep his watch?¿
You have to do more of these Nick, they are great and really helpful. Very entertaining also.
Really helpful for my knife studies tanks
I'd like to see the instructor wearing a white shirt, and the knife being covered in red paint so when the knife strikes the shirt it'll leave a print. Then once he's wearing the shirt i want to see Vasil attack the instructor or get a stranger to try and attack the instructor and lets see if these techniques actually work, because im having doubts.
Nick Drossos did a video with white shirts and a red marker. He still got slashed/stabbed a few times but he did manage to defend against the majority of it.
icarus0206 Practise makes perfect. Nick has the best reactions I've seen in a self defence instructor.
If you get in to a knife fight you will get cut you just cant avoid all of it but you can avoid the majority of it.
Qraxian
You beat me to it. Yes, exactly true. The reality is, in a knife fight you will get cut maybe even stabbed. The adrenaline rush will help and you probably won't notice until you've gotten away or once the attacker (hopefully) runs off when they realize your too much effort for a minimal payout.
@@Qraxian Most of the time the prize for winning a knife fight is that your opponent dies in the street and you die in the hospital
Nick... We love you so much... Thank you for the defense tips.. It's working 😩😩
Idk if you have thought bout this but the best thing to do is to create distance between you and the attacker. The greater the distance the better result of defense. And then there are other forward steps to do but I usually create distance if the attacker was a blade or close quarters weapon.
that guy done so damn good for what he thought
What happened to Vasyl's pants? I don't know how to spell his name forgive me if I spelled it incorrectly
It's the new fashion.
khoa nguyen they got ripped in an other video where he was running
did he get the watch back
Funny Guy, seems friendly
Good instruction. I really enjoy your stuff Mr Drossos as it seems based in pugilism and is quite honest. There are no perfect solutions, but keeping things simple and straight forward are what is best in my opinion. I have really enjoyed your videos, keep up the good work.
I think it is really cool that you show people how to defense themselves👌
For another experiment find different people that know self defense and martial arts and see if those who train for it are as ready for it as they think. Idea for later Social Experiment Videos.
The last time he did much better
Plot twist: he didn't give him back his watch
I was always taught to keep my palms facing towards me and not to expose major arteries below the elbow. However, this is just for the parries (SP). I think this is a very good video to show the average man or woman what to do when cornered. Also... if he wants your bike or wallet and the attacker has a knife... give him what he wants.
Nice video, nice approach to teaching/showing the person to trap, hit, switch, parry, etc...I am curious about the helmet used in the video. What type of helmet is being used in the video? Is that a customized helmet? Any brand?
That guy was heaaps nervous .. I found it quite funny, I couldn't really concentrate on what was actually happening .. Hahaha .
This 10 minutes of his time can safe his life sometime, man this is awesome
Thanks
Hello Nick. I've been training Kenpo Karate for some years now. And i have a question. - I've seen many of your videoes today now and what you doing is very realistic, not just ¨Do that and do that, you good without actually playing the situation¨. Good job. - Well my question is, why don't you advice to kick the attacker in the groint in some of the selfdefense? Most of our work in Kenpo is kicking to the groint, and it works very good. ( i can say that from a real situation i had with 2 guys in the street and it helped me for real ) Thanks, and sorry for bad English but, i hope you understand most of it and the point of it. :-)
This guy did a really good job
some one tried to mug me with a knife he tried to stab me and ended up
slashing my forearm pretty badly when I had no cash then I hit him a couple times
I saw the knife was lose i was out of reach so I backhand slapped
it and ran two blocks to the police station.
Surprisingly good progress
This is amazing. I envy the guys you grab from the street. Who wouldn't appreciate free self defense lesson, from a realistic self defense expert AND you're making random people safer and better to defend against attempt of murder. You could even be making the difference between life or death for someone ( but let's hope for their sake that you don't, meaning let's hope that they never ever get put in that situation).
Clevername209 Really good way to get publicity, but still doing a great service for the community
love these videos very helpful
Is that the UK?
I think he did quite well at the end, considering he didn't had any MA experience.
Would you like to me in the video? Emmmmmmmmmmm (nick just starts explaining what he’s gonna do lol)
This is the first guy to put some real effort in.
Those bystanders were distracting though. I was waiting for someone to take his bike.
Quick question: As the femoral artery runs along the inside of the thigh, should you really be kicking a knife-wielding attacker?
hey i got a real good question, if i train then succeed, then that means its gonna be a fight by exhaustion? isnt it? how will it end? if that huge dude have more stamina and strength than a regular dude?
Charles is so humble, man. He even asks if the "attacker" was okay. XD
You and Jim Wagner of the best stuff. Stuff that might actually work, unlike most the rubbish on TH-cam.
This can save life omg rly nice widio.
what if a person is at a vertex position of the triangle and is rounded up by persons arranged in a curved way
so how will the person perform his attack and defense
Nick I usually play soccer in parc jeanne mance I hope I will meet you this summer I wanna learn !!
Did you give him back his watch?
thanks buddy!
Context is very important. It's a little silly to assume some random person would be suddenly attacked by a person who shows a knife, threatens, and then attacks with seemingly no motive. This scenario could happen of course but this context is extremely rare compared to a situation where the attacker is seeking money for drugs or has a beef with the victim, etc. Even then, it's much more likely that a criminal will select a apparent easy victim like a small woman etc. in that case. Most self defense experts I know who have been in multiple knife attacks (note I didn't say knife "fights") recommend moving in as soon as possible. Yes control the knife if you can and use strikes, but continuing to stay at dueling distance is extremely dangerous. That said, everything about getting attacked with a knife is dangerous. I respect Nick for doing these social experiment videos, just happen to differ a little but in some tactics for the larger approach.
Isn't jumping back, kicking the arm in which he is holding the knife with away and then try to get him down and stun him by kicking his calf and elbowing his temple?
Did you change your opinions on knife vs bare hands defence 8 years after?
What if I try to parry with my arms, but I get cut instead?
MrPrometheus9
Yes, but if it gets my wrists and cuts my artery, then I'll still bleed out and die.
+Fate Nightroad you gotta take the risk there's still more chances you die from a belly stab than a hand cut
If someone attacks you with a knife, you're going to get cut no matter what. It's all about teaching yourself to not get a fatal injury in the process. Getting slashes on the hands and arms are pretty much garunteed
+Fate Nightroad then at least you didnt die, the real question is how would it end...
delcastillo1000
If my wrist gets cut then I will die. That's my main concern.
Very well done however what if the attacker grabs your hand first and you only have 1 hand to fight him off while he is stabbing you ????
Best self defense teacher
Thanks
Where do you guys do your videos? People speak french but some people still speak very good english. Are you in Canada?
James Sarvan Montreal, I believe.
right hes like can it hurt me-the knife- and the dudes like ya for sure lol poor dude
but what do you do if he starts hitting your face while you have traped the knifehand with both hands?
You gave him his watch back right?
For christs sakes buy Basil(Vasil whatever his name is) some new pants. God damn.
Hello. Your method I like very much. Have you made any dvd?
you took his watch!!!
I noticed he had a backpack on in the start. A backpack could be a good defense weapon against a knife attack.
Nick on this one I have to disagree on the trap , in a real fight Vassil is pumped out of his head , I am nervous the chances are his stabbing upwards move are going to pass through my attempt of trap with both hands , on the other hand if you try a block with your left forearm against his wrist and throwing your belly back , while with your right hand you hold your left wrist , that can keep you safe from serious injuries until he slows down and and can get a elbow lock.
Its easy for you to trap an attacker with both hands , you have over 20 years fighting, you did clubs , no way someone with no fighting experience in a real life attack will stop a full force upwards knife attack to the belly
What is the style of fighting that you teach?
Wauw, good job sir!
attacker guys pants ripped off ?
Swolbraham Lincoln They are. Yes. All of these videos were filmed on the same day I think with many people. While teaching a random person Vasil ripped his jeans.
mihaimartinov and the arm to?
I think that was a previous injury. Prior to their trip to the park.
Yeah a girl ripped his pants while he was teaching her
+That Girl Lia i wonder what they thought her if thats the case
When he said can i watch this on my phone why did he grab the camera?
Here is a old Cyrillic letters on the "Attacker" back ? Can't figure out ?
9:36 "Go slow" he says LOL
Respect.
The only thing I want to know now is when to end the defense, what to do to end the attack?
After this training Vasyl knows how to fight with a knife so its a good practice for hin too :P
5:14 Here's how to steal someone's watch
Me: Hey do you want to learn how to defend yourself?
Girl: sure?
Me: Okay! Do you want me to hold you're watch?
Girl: Okay
Me: *Takes Watch And Runs Away*
Girl: HEY COME BACK HERE! THATS MY WATCH
Thanks for watching!
this guy needs new pants
Весо не е ли Българин? Isn't Vasil one of ours, a Bulgarian? I definitely see a БЪ tattooed on his back. Веско, юнак, поздрави от Варна! :-)
that guy did well
Why do you say ' Dont PUNCH, but 'Open Hand' strikes in face of Knifeman ?? Please explain !
I have about 20 videos explains this
@@NickDrossos Okay, Im on my 6th One !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Keep up the Great Lessons !
Keep it up
Did he give him back his watch?
you forgot to give his watch back
So nick what if the attacker threw the knife at u??
Then now you have a knife and they don't :D

You feel meee g
This guy didn't do so bad. He has natural instincts
Agreed!
And the watch on his wist?
Marine Park?
I wonder if Nick kept his watch? Hmm???
what about his watch? xD
i would love to be and test out this
Maybe one day
Great video, thanks *****
Awhy would you use a real knife in this scenario?
Nice Tattoo Vasil!
България forever!
Guy with the bike and 9:30 dipped lmal
you know what'll get u killed?! thinking too much...or doing nothing. i think this brotha did well for not wanting to even do this out the gate. if u cant run or the attacker comes at u like a crazed lunatic,as they always do,u gotta handle bizness,period! They're not gonna come at u 1..2...3 slash ,step,mike janich style(he's good,but...) lets be honest,being AWARE and AWAKE trumps all.
The watch
Very lovely :)
you forgot the watch man :D
This is the reason i leaglly got a licence to carry a gun any where
Does vasil have a TH-cam channel
No
Did you give him his watch back lol
