BLACK LION
Black Belt
from an observational standpoint and even a training and practice one:
I often see references of knife encounters as some sort of deul in which two opposing forces face off in some sort of sanctioned death match...
This is far from actuality and possibly stems from unharnessed fear or misunderstanding or lack of knowledge of a knife attack itself and how a person that wishes to utilize a knife must act in order to be successful....
I belive it also stems from various media and mediums that have subliminally domesticated violence in its entirety to where we actually behave like we see in the movies or video or what have you... It seems many have been inadvertently trained to accept a knife attack exactly how it does NOT happen....
I also see references of knife attacks in which the would be victim attempts to adorn themselves with some sort of deterrent like a briefcase or a jacket or belt etc. in an attempt to prolong the innevitable or somehow prevent it...
Here lies another pitfall that stems from fear or lack of knowledge and understanding as stated above...
Another major reference I have come across is "disarming techniques" in which the would be victim attempts to perform specified techniques in order to strip away the blade and or avoid being stabbed or cut by utilizing various techniques...including but not limited to all out grappling matches with the tool or device...
Here lies another misconception and even though its not a detrimental as the previous two its still on dangerous ground just the same... although I do not believe this particular action or actions stem from fear I do believe they stem from other irrelevant stimuli and the lack of understanding of how one who utilizes a blade attacks...
Its important to me that those who train and practice with and against tools understand the nature of thier use as well as their effects.
A knife for example is most often employed or deployed as a menas of assassination by ambush... hence the term "felt not seen"... rarely if ever will an end user brandish the blade and wave it around like some trinket in some hypnotic ritualistic fashion... they will pull and crash into you wile stabbing perfusely in any spot they can get it into... often times the kill is prolonged by defensive measure that most people being stabbed take... hence the term "defensive wounds"... many times a person is cut or stabbed dozens of times only to have the final few be the fatal ones...
The surprise is overwhelming...even in prison footage this fact remains the same...
Rarely does a knifer step to toe toe with the blade if full view in order to secure thier needs... they will exploit ever opportunity of surprise to their advantage.... they also understand the fear associated with being stabbed and use that as a tool to further thier agenda...
Its important to understand that there are only 2 "safe" places when faced with the blade... 1.far far away from it 2.the attacker rendered nonfunctional.... option one may or may not involve being cut or stabbed while option 2 will involve being cut or stabbed... you may not have to sacrifice any blood or tissue to escape but you will if you agress to protect yourself or others.... there will be blood... regardless
Once again... understanding that there will be blood and cuts is paramount... but killers dont quit and neither should you.
Understanding the use of the knife tool and how to access targets and vitals with it is also paramount... if you become the end user you want to ensure success and it needs to be immediate... understanding what eefects slashes get as opposed to thrusting the blade into a vital... what makes more blood...what makes less... and so on...
Most often people in training do not realize that if you attack correctly by utilizing the proper principles the knife itself becomes inert... most "disarms" come not by technique but after injuries are affectuated and the knife is dislodged from impact or trauma or inability to use it from nonfunctioning parts....
Most often people in trainin do not realize that attacking the tool itself wont stop the job from getting done...
stop the living breathing thinking being behind the device and the threat ceases to exist... there is no deuling or fancy techniques that get this done... just sheer agressive or egressive precision and decisive execution on the real targets and thats the operationg system of the machine(s) you are up against...not thier extensions
