On another forum which I'm a member of, some clips were posted of knife defense. Some questions arose as to the effectiveness or practicality of what was being shown. For reference, I will link each youtube clip.
Clip 1

Clip 2

Clip 3

The knife work for clip 3 does not start until about 30sec into the clip. Additionally, clip 3 does not just focus on blade work, however for this discussion, that is the only part that I'm looking to discuss.
Some of the concerns that came up were too much distance between the opponent and the defender, the risk of being open to counter shots by the opponent, the idea of taking the person to the ground in clip 1, and the use of the under hook grab that we see in clips 1 and 2.
Let the discussion begin!:ultracool
