Knife fighting

[novamanms]

I believe the guys from The Hunted studying Sayoc Kali. I've heard of these guys from my experiences with the Dog Brothers. I can personally attest that Lameco Escrima is considered hot stuff by a lot in the know.

I've personally been in a few knife fights unarmed and just managed to get out of them by the skin of my teeth. And the old addage IS true, "You will get cut." The worst cut I ever got was where I nearly lost a pinky from a guy with a machete.

The Indonesians and Philipinos are really the way to go with knife fighting when you have a knife (although often times you are not instructed on levels of legality and lethality in said classes, something to be taken into consideration).

As for unarmed defense against a knife, I've seen some good stuff. Not going to plug a website, but I highly reccomend you check out the S.T.A.B. program. Top notch material.

hmmmm You see a knife, run!!!! I in MMA we are not trained for any kind of knife fighting you might be able to hold the guys arm try a kimora or armbar to get rid of the knife but there is no guarantee!! I personally hate weapons if I see a knife I'm fucking running!!!. You live to fight another day

yes, you have a knife and the other guy is unarmed.now that is excellent forward thinking and shows good awareness.this is certainly a skill that everyone should practice assiduously.but, generally you will find that when the knives come out the would be multiple attackers are no longer around.cold hard steel has that effect.one important proviso here is, do make sure that the knife is very sharp and fits the bill in size and application of use as producing a small, blunt,cheap weapon to multiple attackers could seriously complicate a very complex situation, considerably.

Although I trained in knife fighting from my filipino friend for about 4 years now and I have gotten really good to a point where I am almost as good as my friend he told me and explained to me that in knife fighting it is very very dangerous and should never be used untill last resort when you feel there is no way out and your life is in serious danger only then should you knife fight because there is no real winners in a knife fight and almost most of the time no matter how good you are you will get cut and the consequences of the law is very strict. Also there is no shame in running away from someone who has a knife dont let your ego keep you there to fight him unless like I said if you have no choice or you are protecting someone you love and have no other option. Plus one more thing not to offend anyone on here but disarming someone with a knife is very very hard to do dont let those steven segal movies fool you to think that disarming someone with a knife is easy and you wont get hurt. Im not saying it cant be done depends on your situation if your fighting a guy who knows nothing of knife fighting or martial arts for that matter then you have a better chance to disarm him but if he knows even a little knife fighting and is very aggressive your best bet is to run. The best knife fighting technique in the world is called reverse magnetism because when you see that blade start running in the opposite direction lol lol......

I have trained in Escrima/Kali for about 2 years and can say without a doubt that most of the time, nobody wins a knife fight.

If you want to train with a knife, try this: you and a training partner put on white t-shirts and each get a Crayola magic marker and spar. The marker would be the knife, in which case the "blade" is only the 1/2" tip of the marker, much shorter than any real blade.

Try whatever martial arts technique you want to but at the end, you cant argue with the marks all over your shirts. Thats a good way to simulate knife fighting, it's fun, too.

We also use that training by useing the plastic or rubber knives dipped in red ink while wearing a white or light colored shirt and the person with the most marks is the loser. But we had to modify it by making this trainning session more realistic so the person with the first hit is the winner because in a real knife fight all it takes is one hit and your done.
