For those of you who study arts with heavy knife use: how effective do you find the knife defenses of other systems?
I've seen one example where some style advocated blocking an upward or straight knife strike with a downward crossblock. This was deemed as ineffective, especially against FMA stylists, since they would tend to then trap the hands and slice upwards through the palms (this is from the article I read).
