Angel asked in SportsMartial Arts · 5 years ago

Is there any real self defense against knives?

How come I see videos with self defense techniques and fighting styles when in reality a knife attack lasts like a second. I wish I could learn knife defense and knife techniques because they make me feel good and I guess strong inside however, they're pretty much useless so I came to this question; how can I utilize knives and empty handed techniques to defend myself? 10 points lol.

    Its called running.

    Most place including krav maga dont teach realistic knife defense. Their techiques will get you killed.

    Defending against a knife is very dangerous, you will get sliced up no matter what.

    You don't know enough to qualify as someone who can tell what is or is not useful. All you have is some preconceived notions in your head that are not based on any facts or experience.

    If you want to learn, find a teacher.

    An expert knife fighter will destroy an unarmed martial artist, regardless of style. Like the other guy said, the best tactic is to run.
