What do you think of this art?
Hi, so my plan is to invent my own Martial Art, after dabbling in Krav Maga, Escrima, various Karates, Jujitsu and a myriad of other arts.
I want to develop a knife fighting Martial Art that specifically trains in counters to common defenses & disarms. That's right, a Martial Art specifically designed so that if you have a knife, you easily are able to get past the substandard defenses taught in Martial Arts. It will include unconvential means of holding the knife that various Martial Arts have not addressed, along with a variety of angles and strikes, as opposed to the overhead "Pyscho" stab. Various slashes and thrusts and ways of concealing knives until in close range of your opponents. Also counters and ways to hold a knife at distance in case an opponent attempts to kick it. Additionally ways to throw knives in case an opponent runs.
My dream is to teach this Art to young struggling inner city youth in the worst neighborhoods for self defense from self defense experts.
Details:
Also included in the curriculum will be striking with the appendages not holding the knife, blocking groin kicks, knee kicks, and eye gouges, as well as how to goin kick, knee kick and eye gouge prior to showing any sign of aggression, and then using the knife.
Included will be how to throw broken glass at your attackers feet, preventing him from trying to grapple with you and take you to the ground.

Wow, I haven't answered a Y!A for awhile. So, don't flame me if I forgot how to do this:
Aikido would beat your knife, hands down. All they need to do is Grab Your Wrist(tm). It's a proven fact. Stevey Seagull does it all teh t1m3z.
_ing _un...err...Wing Chun/Ving Tsun/Wing Tsun (but not Ving Chun) would invade your centerline and that would be very bad for you. I think it has something to do with double entendre of the saxuel persuasion. Hint. Hint.
Obviously Krav Maga would just kill you. With an M-16. At around 100 yards. Because nobody ever expects the Krav Maga Inquisition!
But, do it anyway. You'll make alot of money off the suckerrrrrr I mean the students of this honorable and underpriced system. Soke Necroth says that Soke Judomofo, 10th Dan of KnifeMagaJutsuDoSooDo is a great guy, a notable martial artist, and will be inducted into many Hall of Fame organizations (for a non-refundable fee of 250$ per induction, of course).
Now, give me two "t3h d34dl13z" and we'll call this one a lock!

Someone correct me if I'm wrong...but don't the Black Eagles in the Phillipines already practice something very similar to what you're talking about?
You also failed to mention what would define this as an "art" as opposed to a system. It sounds like you are just developing a self-defense course for those who weild knives. Arts include a cultural aspect to them (such as how Karate upholds a lot of tradition) and you mention nothing about that other than your target audience.
Also, not to sound too disrespectful but, if you've only dabbled in several arts and systems...what would qualify you to become a creator of an entire martial art? Even Krav Maga, which is realitively new, was developed by someone that actually knew and had an understanding of combat. He didn't just take a few classes here and there and decide that he knew what was best. This doesn't even take into account the generations and generations of students and teachers that worked to refine their particular arts.
I guess what I'm getting at is...can you back up your qualifications for creating a new brand of martial arts?

Ok let me see if I have this correct. You want to teach a martial arts that centers around knife fighting. It is okay that you want to invent a new martial arts, but what if you dint carry a knife wherever you go?
A lot of people in the Yahoo! Martial arts category ask "Oh what is a good self-defense" and people would say "oh just carry a stun gun or pepper spray" well the problem is are you going to carry that around with you everywhere you go? For ladies that might not be a problem because they have a purse. But for guys, where are you going to put it? In your pocket?
What I am trying to get at is, that you should also incorporate some hand to hand combat too, because I am sure not everyone is going to carry a knife with them wherever they go, especially in a school setting.
And it is really important that you are a VERY experience martial artist yourself. With years of knowledge and training. Because by teaching other martial arts your teaching them how to fight if their lives are threaten.

You know, some of the Sayoc guys train with three knives in one hand. If you can teach me how to defend against that and add an additional two on there (just to say I more than one-upped them), sign me up.
Though I'm not exactly an inner city youth. Will that be a problem?
Man I can't believe that people are taking this seriously. Priceless.

I like Krav Maga and Escrima. I don't like Karates and Jujitsu they suck. You will need a lot of martial art experience to even develop your own fighting Martial Art. Have you studied other martial arts before? A lot of people that try to develop there own martial arts seem more like a joke. It seem like they don't understand what the movements in that system is all about. They just watch movies and try to take all the good stuff and put it into there own martial arts. That is crap. I am not trying to be rude but just some suggestions.

This is certainly a joke, but I must have missed what the object of the parody is. On a serious note, it might be better to develop an art that doesn't require carrying a concealed weapon.
Maybe just manufacture a suit with spikes sticking out in every direction, sort of the like Hellraiser guy's head.

I want my son to learn martial arts, but not what you want to teach, why would you want to teach some one how to throw a knife at some one who is running away, you sound like a psycho, I am sure your students will all end up in prison

Hmmm
I think George Dillman, Ashida Kim, and Frank Dux will have competition!
Just a suggestion, can your curriculum also include techniques that are useful against an ultimate fighter ? ;-)

in many cases, the two are artfully misleading. paintings may be poetic in its capability to inspire, jointly as poetry may be paintings from the pictures it creates in the innovations's eye (no longer the hidden one). This improve into my answer on your concept hyperlink. perspective is each little thing. including your hand on its floor, the Pyramid of Khufu is basically a crooked wall. Edit: Your description of the handiwork of the hidden eye explains the present circumstance of our government no count which celebration is in capability.
