When i learned Krav Maga years ago when it got to the knife part its was basically sacrifice your arm to protect vital areas. It's not about winning, its about surviving.
@@SuperLordQ I kicked a broken bottle out of guys hand, it flew away pretty far (he broke it and threatened to stab me). Surely a knife can be kicked out as well, no? Especially if the guy is standing there threatening to stab you, not expecting a hard kick, no?
whenever i hear anything about being in a knife fight, or against a knife wielding opponent, i always think of that one thing that's like "if you got maimed in a knife fight, you likely won a knife fight" when you get into fights, the goal is never really to win, it's just to not lose
@@vanjamenadzer Well if true that’s a crazy story and pretty impressive. But I would argue there would be a difference in “possible” vs “probable”. If someone charged at you with full intent to kill or cause serious harm it would be pretty difficult to reliably time a kick perfectly knock a knife out of there hand, especially if they’re swinging wildly and have a pissed off death grip on it. Your leg could very easily be sliced up in the process or worse they catch the kick and land a stab wound (vs a slash). Compared to an a hole standing and threatening to do something. Does that make sense? That’s just my opinion at least, I’m certainly no expert. Glad you made it out of that safely, I personally would have not taken the risk and just ran out of there.
I had a teacher who was a black belt. His advice was if you have an opening run, because you never know what weapons they have on you, doesn't matter how good you are, it's better not to take the chance.
I was always told by my instructors that if you ever get into a bad situation either hand over you money or run and these are from men who can kick you into space
agree, avoiding unnecessary confrontation not only helps you to not get hurt also your opponent, if you hurt someone, even in self defense, someone may hurt you back. everyone has someone important. (like a big brother to revenge or you got a little one to stay safe) battle is the last resort. you better never have to but good if you can. training is healthy and some times even art.
Imagine a swordfight where everyone is unarmoured safe one guy who turns up in full plate, with chain mail underneath and just starts throwing hands. Or gauntlets, in that case…
He has a good chance to die if everyone is at a similar skill level with their respective weapons. Im mean he would live much longer than without armour, but swords are not bad against amoured targets.
Entertaining to think about, I think he would certainly get tired more quickly than the other combatants if we assume everybody is fighting when they can and not hiding, and once he gets to that point the unarmored person is slightly more agile and a bit lighter and if you're grappling those punches are going to have a lot less power, not to mention being tired. At that point its just poking a gap. He would be a mini boss that you try to avoid till later on when you actually have a chance lol. I guess I didnt ask how many people are fighting either. Are we talking like 50 people, or like 5? Two teams or free for all? Equal numbers or does he get a numbers disadvantage? I think with fewer people or in an equal team fight he can do a lot. With a lot of people he will get tired quicker because hes carrying more weight than everyone else and has to swing ALL of it when moving and attacking. With a numbers disadvantage all they have to do is double team him. One holds, one pokes.
It has happened, often in a disastrous retreat, some knights have lost their arms and horses and have to escape on feet, bowmen make short work of them or, if they have mistreated the peasants, they riot against an unarmed escaping knight with pitchforks and knives killing them after removing the armor.
Every time I see in a sword fight the 2 people clash swords and stand still for a long time I just think "if your sword is unavailable just throw hands, they're both so open in that situation"
Yeah - the difference between Hollywood drama and actual fight training. Mate of mine does SCA and we were mucking about with the soft swords. Can't remember who swung first and who parried but I just stepped forward, grabbed the pommel of his sword and yanked it out of his hand. He was completely flummoxed and said "you're not allowed to do that", to which I replied, "the only rule in combat is survival". His son, who also does SCA and HEMA said, "he's right dad - but personally, I'd've smacked him in the face with my shield as he stepped in." I can't really argue with that.
Playing as a monk in D&D is a lot of fun, but a lot of the higher damage abilities for a monk are fueled by Ki points. So it means there’s an extraordinary ability that a regular unarmed combatant has.
@@Tarcisius_ Yeah, and only at pretty high levels does it start to not really matter what you have in your hands, if anything. For the vast majority of monks in the setting, a staff or shortsword is boosting your damage output substantially.
“There’s still a bunch of ways you can use unarmed techniques” Whacks target with a shield “To cause problems” **Tackles target to the ground and sails over the chair**
Exactly! As a Wing Tsun Kungfu master, I learned from my master and even from the grandmaster that I should use some kind of weapon or item (almost any item could be a weapon) if I have to fight against someone who uses a knife, or any other weapon that could cut or pierce me.
Exactly. Use your belt. Or take your shirt off. Or a shoe. Or a roll of toilet paper. Literally anything is better than nothing. Just give yourself some options.
This just reminds me of that trailer where a knight 1v3 a group of adventurers and after having his weapon taken continues to dog them. Also I love your content mr pole dancing ranger man.
I was explaining the differences between foils, sabres, and epees to my friend and he said "In a real fight, I think I'd choose a sabre...". No. In a real fight, if you have any fencing sword, choose to run (actually I told him to use it to block and disarm, then try brawling, but if you find yourself in a real fight with any fencing instrument, get away). Also foil is best sword.
The Irish during the 16th century would carry a specialized gauntlet call the "left hand gauntlet" or "great gauntlet" which they would used as an off hand weapon. We have several pictures of them carrying one and even one being used in the painting "Drawn after the quick". In later centuries they were features in various weapon competitions and demonstrations.
If I didn't give up my dreams of becoming an cartoonist/digital artist, I had this fantasy comic idea of what the TL:DR explanation would be 'millennial adventurers' (as in broke af). I imagined the fighter to be as much a brawler as he as a swordsman. Because he wasn't fighting dragons or saving the Kingdom, he was collecting bounties and debts from run aways, so he couldn't just kill his opponent.
One of the characters whose fight scenes I've had the most fun writing fights with what is basically an edgeless sword, combined with martial arts. She usues the sword as an almost purely defensive tool while attacking with kicks, and sometimes just by ramming the weapon into someone, even through it's a blunt weapon. I got to come up with some really interesting moves for her power set
this kind of applies to dungeons and dragons until you see the monk charging at you at 50 kilometers per hour after he just crushed a orc's skull with one punch.
Historically accurate fighting move. Shields - especially bucklers like that one - were expected to be used to batter the opponent as well as deflect weapons.
@@iamstuckinfandomangelicat2890 Yeeeeaahhh, they _could_ start giggling as oxygen deprivation makes 'em lightheaded before they succumb to the darkness...
In a story I am writing and illustrating I have a character who does “unarmed” combat but he wears full metal gauntlets with pointed studs on the armors knuckles and slightly pointed finger tips. He was never very talented with a sword so he opted to use hand-to-weapon combat. The armor on his arms just makes it so he can reliably block blades and deal lethal blows with punches. There’s many ways to make empty hand combat have a more even fight with conventional weapons. It also helps to change a character’s approach. Why use a sword if you’re an assassin who can drop from the cealing and choke out a target. If they never engage in a “fair fight” or on a battlefield it might mean they never needed a conventional weapon to begin with.
I have 2 approaches to this. First is that the character uses mostly unarmed, then takes the weapons of their opponents as needed, while also constantly discarding and swapping whatever can be used on the battlefield. They still mostly utilize being an unarmed master, while also letting their enemies carry their inventory for them XD 2nd is that the person has battle armor that allows them to block melee weapons like a punch or kick, usually focused on the fists, wrists, shins and feet. Usually, this character is also stronger and faster than the average person. Or... You could take both XD really just depends on the character you want to make.
In a book my teacher read, one of the charters would only use his fist in combat and disarming, he said it was to take away the ability to fight for those who depended on weapons. He was also was a drunk vampire who tried to build immunity to the sun.
I think the best way to use this concept is having a character who is so skilled, winning a fight with weapons isn't a challenge. So they go unarmed to make it more of a challenge for themselves.
In Aikido there are various techniques for defending yourself unarmed against an attacker with a katana or sper. There are videos with footage of Morihei Ueshiba demonstrating these techniques. Nevertheless, one must take into account that one of the basis of the sport is the quote: "If you and your opponent are of different strengths, the fight is already decided, then why fight? And if you are of equal strength, you will find a way to agree without fighting. "
[Chuck Norris intensifies...] Jokes (and Chuck-Facts) apart, unarmed characters being able to defeat armed opponents are on the limit of suspension of disbilief. Still, deconstructing them is a good way to learn something about how weapons work, and why are them so dangerous.
This is why Jackie chan always uses improvised weapons from the enviroment against armed opponents rather than trying to take them on and all of his movements are made to help him get away rather than engage.
A good way to showcase this, especially in dungeons and dragons, is that unarmed fighters have access to a kind of magical energy(Ki in the case of dnd) that makes their attacks stronger and much faster to make up for the lack of reach.
More often than showing skill, an unarmed warrior often is showcasing some sort of implied vow or oath. This is why this is most often done in fiction by monks.
I feel like old-timey metal armor was maybe just as much a handicap because of how much it slowed the wearer down, restricted their senses and movement, and more quickly tired them out, like maybe it was good in big battles, but I'd think one-on-one it'd have been better to be unencumbered and spry, like I think I'd have sooner fought naked against someone than have all that metal slowing me down and wearing me out, because against a foe wearing all that stuff, all you've got to do is dodge and weave out of their slow-moving way to keep them attacking until in short order they run out of steam and you can go in for the kill
I remember the old anime Revolutionary Girl Utena, centered around a sword tournament... And at the start of the series Saionji was the ruling champion in spite of at least one opponent being a far more skilled swordfighter because he KICKED HIS OPPONENTS hard enough to make them fly (the only rule of tournament being that you lose when the rose on your chest is destroyed)
I was not expecting that tackle against the target sack
What target sack is that, anyway? It looks frustratingly familiar.
It was better than I would've assumed if someone described it to me
Always do the unexpected move. Catches those targets off guard every time.
Can I play the role of that sack
I fucking lost it when I saw that.
That tackle was just pure gold. I would shit myself if in the middle of a sword fight, my opponent lunges himself at me.
When i learned Krav Maga years ago when it got to the knife part its was basically sacrifice your arm to protect vital areas. It's not about winning, its about surviving.
Yeah I l3arnd that too
My Krav coach told me If you walk out of a knife attack completely unscathed it’s not because you where good, it’s because you were lucky.

There's a reason martial artists advise that self-defense shouldn't be the first go-to.

Playing as a monk in D&D is a lot of fun, but a lot of the higher damage abilities for a monk are fueled by Ki points. So it means there’s an extraordinary ability that a regular unarmed combatant has.
Even then, monks get to use weapons like short swords and spears before getting an unarmed strike as a bonus action.
@@Tarcisius_ Yeah, and only at pretty high levels does it start to not really matter what you have in your hands, if anything. For the vast majority of monks in the setting, a staff or shortsword is boosting your damage output substantially.
Also with the right build you can throw fireballs at people. Monks are arguably half-casters with a focus on self-buffing.
My favorite way to do it is to have a character break their weapon against an enemy and then keep on with their bare hands

These basically boil down to "armoured gloves and boots", but they do work.
