Over the years I have heard this many times. Using the lead hand as the 'sacrifice' hand, to take the damage instead of a vital part of the anatomy. This is based on a knife to knife scenario (which I know, is not likely to happen ever in most peoples lifetimes), but it beggars the question, if you drill/train with the knife in the reverse hand instead of the lead, you will most likely adopt this position in reality?
Anyone train this way? What are the pro's, (if any) besides using the arm to conceal the bladed hand? Obviously there are pitfalls, such as losing a few fingers or even the whole hand and bleeding to death.
Personally, I would rather have both hands as close to my body as possible and fence off with the knife in the lead hand.
Be interested to know how you train or if you've encountered anyone who uses the lead hand as the 'sacrifice'.
Kind regards
