As a police officer for the last 10 years I've been taught that if a knife (gun or club) comes into play (meaning it's within grabbing range) I need to "control the weapon". Get ahold of the hand that has the weapon and don't let go.
Lately I've become interested in knife fighting/knife defense. I've seen some FMA video clips and writings which show a lot of blocking and parrying, not too much grabbing or controling. The same goes for my art, American Kenpo. I am of course keeping in mind that my exposure to FMA is fairly limited.
My question is this, if a knife comes into play (and I manage to see it!) do I "grab and control" or do I parry and gain distance?
Any help is appreciated!
