Knife defence(fake martial arts kills)

[DeLamar.J]

Great video about the realities of knife defence. You may have to create a youtube account, but it is well worth it. IMO, the knife still holds the title of the best close quarters weapon.

Saw the same thing on google videos, still enlightening...

I haven't seen the whole video before, but I have similar statistics. Even if you (nominally) win a knife fight, you can still quite easily bleed to death before you can leave the scene and get medical attention. An exercise we've done periodically that brings this home is putting colored chalk dust on the edges of rubber knives, and then sparring - it's very graphic. Just don't wear a shirt you're not willing to get stained; the chalk dust doesn't always come out in the wash.
