I say immediately that I am one of those that Vs a knife probably would last 1-2 seconds hee hee.
I have seen many videos (training and real life) of hand Vs knife. If the one who is armed has technique the discassion is different, but if it is a normal street criminal with no training thing change.
In my opinion, and here I am asking if right or not to you, MA are very good against a knife. Let's not forget that many MA were created centuries ago where in Orient "mean bully SOBs" were a common thing.
Please correct me if I am wrong, but what kills most against a knife (always a not trained armed man) is fear. If I see a knife my attention is 100% on it, ignoring the rest of the body.
I have seen a video where an armed man was keeping the right distance with the left arm from the victim having ready the knife in the right hand wide on his side. Now if instead of trying to reach for the arm with the blade wouldn't have been easier grabbing the other arm attempting for a joint blockage?
Other times I have seen people trying to stab with a wide swing. Instead of stepping back or try to catch the arm wouldn't be easier to step forward?
I am not trying to say that disarming a knife is easy, mind me. What I would like you to tell me is if I am right that if the pertantage of victory of a hand Vs knife might be 30% Vs 70%, when you concentrate too much on the knife because of the fear it becomes 10% Vs 90%.
