As a bouncer, I fought a guy with a knife. He was stabbing another person before I fought him. I did not think about a thing before I stepped in. After the fact, I realized I made a huge mistake. I walked away without being hurt. My family could have lost me. I served 7 years in the Army, but know that does not matter. No matter the training you receive, you can always lose your life.
@@FunkerTactical hey Bro where is that highlighted comment of mine about "Capt.Red Shirt being the fuckin shit!!"?? It didn't offend him did it?? He seem's too me like a man who couldn't give a fuck about your feelings!! And doesn't get his offended too easily either........ This is one of this best defensive videos I've ever seen.........and I'm trying to watch them all........and have seen many of the decent ones.......but there's far more shit available then anything good, but this video and demo works well for a reason............
Yeah this is so true anyone that sees my reply remember fights can happen with anyone your friends anyone I do mma btw my favorite is the jujitsu part ok back to the point just because you kick in a fight/knee/elbow it’s better then getting hit yourself people will call you Pussy for kicking well tell them to fuck off and yeah I know this because I kick to keep distance and I got called that many times yeah for sure it makes me mad but at the end of the day the only thing that matters is that you didn’t get hit
Haha its not about being fair or not, if you pull out a knife, im gonna pull out a knife, if you try to fight with fists, i will do that too.. but in my book, depending on the size comparison, if you pull out a knife during a fist fight, your just a bitch lol
@@nathanaelsalazar4194 Pulling a knife out vs. another knife is not such a great idea mate hahah, there´s an old saying about knife fights "the loser dies in the street, the winner dies in the hospital" if someone pulls a knife you better haul ass and get out of there unless you wanna get killed.
It's been years since the first time I watched this video. Yet still, this is legitimately one of the best knife defense education video I've ever watch, and will absolutely watch again in the future. The simplicity, rawness, reality. So good, well explained!
Its an honor for me to have a platform to be able to share information with people. This was a joyful experience for me. Thank you for your comment. -GN
Funker Tactical - Fight Training Videos ye thank you for staying humble and sharing all this knowledge! Wish you more strength and patience for future videos!
It's not that realistic actually. In a real knife fight, the defender should stay as far away as possible, and if somehow the attacker gets this close, that means it's almost game over. I'm not kidding, at that range you're as good as dunzo. Of course this video is still a little bit useful because you should never give up, but really this scenario shouldn't happen. Unless perhaps if you're trying to protect someone else, then you might have to engage like that. Always keep your eyes open and never, I mean NEVER engage in a knife fight unless you're protecting someone else. Otherwise always run away, 100% of the time.
@@ETBrooD yea no, this guy’s comment need recognition. Best method is STILL to just avoid the engagement altogether but “Knife Defense” is just a really marketable term i guess.
@@ETBrooD that's not true at all. In facts to be effective vs knife you have to be closer as possible ( when you can't run). That's why most ppl get hurt, because they try to get distance when it's not possible anymore.
You realize that the guy in the red shirt is doing aikido when he's successful... the other times he's messing up big time by standing in front of the attacker. First rule: GET OFF THE LINE OF ATTACK DO NOT STAND IN FRONT OF A GUY WITH A KNIFE! I knew you'd love the fact that he's doing almost pure aikido. The whole thing about locking his arm under his armpit isn't going to work, the attacker is going to punch you in the face and if the attacker is bigger it wont work at all. The only thing that works with knives is GET OFF THE LINE. Don't try this at home.
"If a knife is involved, fight dirty" (Doug Marciada). In my oppinion - fight the dirtiest possible way. Do the worst thing you know. Every shit is legit in those case. Unless you want to die.
My uncle had a rough life in his 20s. He once told me he had to bite a dudes earlobe right off his head to make him stop his knife attack. The dude was on some drugs on top of having a knife
Ok, I will say if someone has a knife and it's available, try the stuff ur talking about, but please don't rely on it. Several of my "I'll just bite him/kick in groin/poke/gouge his eyes out" friends thought it would work, until they hit someone and realized just trying to use pain doesn't help against someone on an adrenaline rush. One guy tried it, it didn't work, then ran away when it didn't, leaving another one of my friends to get beaten up by 3 guys, long story short he almost got blinded in one eye. Don't rely on just ball punches, eye strikes and biting, it'll work very seldom. If u want to protect urself, make sure ur self defence gym is legitimate, or join somewhere that does legit martial arts like muay thai, bjj, mma, boxing etc.
Trained with the IDF commandoes back in the first intifada in the 1980s. This is exactly how we trained. We walked away sore, bruised, bloody, and always in pain. But it looked like this demonstration. We were told, "No stop and go. No posing. No pre-planning." All attacks came from nowhere, and what we were taught the most was to go inside, even though we knew we would be cut. Wrap with one hand, inflict pain to the vital points with the other. No two attacks are the same, so why train the, "What ifs?" Everything is a what if, so the only technique to use is the one that works in that particular moment. Excellent lesson here. Heed it well.
I LOVE how authentic this was. I'd say LITERALLY 99% of martial art videos do the freeze frame techniques and opponents that attack once and let you take them down. Very little reality there. This was as real as it gets within the realm of training. Great job. Great info! Thanks!
I thought I was trained until I was cut by a 15 year old who was “blooding in” to a gang. I walk with a cane and carried both a can of pepper spray and a pistol for self defense. I was distracted and totally engaged in what I was doing. I noticed the kid all in red looking at me from across the street. I ignored him. I felt an electrical type of sting on my left arm. He was slashing at me and I got cut, very badly cut. He looked away for a fraction of a second. I was able to smack him with my cane but he then cut me again. It was over in seconds. My martial arts, my weapons my situational awareness all were of no use. My cane , necessary for walking, undoubtably made the attack stop. If my attacker’s intent was murder he could have easily stabbed me in a vital spot. As it was I needed 67 stitches to close my wounds. All of my training failed because I was not aware of my surroundings.
Retired infantry soldier here who has been stabbed disarming a subject with a blade. you are absolutely correct in focusing on the threat and eliminating it fast with as little damage to yourself as possible. Love the video.
Just went there, signed up, didn't see anywhere to ask a question, tried to comment with the video like this one but saw no way to enter the comment/question about training videos. Please advise.
One of the first lessons we learned during self defence class was that when someone attacks you, you need to have the mentality prepared to get hurt. That's not blindly taking damage, you need to have self preserverance, but if you are always worried about getting hurt, you will automatically become scared. The techniques showed in this video is very practical. The two thumbs down grab is amazing.
in training, I learned one valuable technique to get over being punched by one of my Brothers; Have your training partner punch you a couple times. You get over the "but what if I get hit" factor REALLY quick. LOL. Also, if you have students, or others you train with, when the adrenaline is flowing, you find how little getting hit in the face actually hurts.
as both a marine grunt, and Kali/silat practitioner... and one who's been in a few scuffles, you touched on the main points; fights do not go in slow mo, do not stop until YOU stop them, and are NEVER fair. I do have to admit, I've never stopped to consider the above or below 90 degrees before. THAT was an amazing insight, and really does lend credence to the 4,5,8,12 angle systems. I think with my students, I'll continue the various angles, solely to keep tradition alive, and show the various things one does with each angle, THEN as they advance, break into the above or below 90 concept, so they can get a real appreciation for everything else they've learned and put the pieces together much faster. THAT, is brilliant. post script; I find people that delve into "what if" have never actually been in fight scenarios before. That isn't a bad thing either... it just gets annoying really. What if? answer: what happens, happens, and you deal with what you have at that moment, while praying for the best. I always tell people who ask about knife techniques one common thing regardless of their fantastical scenarios; if a knife is involved you have two guarantees. 1) you will bleed, and 2) there WILL be legal consequences.
Couldn't agree more. I was at a joint kickboxing academy /karate We switched camps the one day. The karate instructor had my arm in a lock and he didnt know me but ive had shoulder issue from a torn labrum. That guy tore my shoulder when he went full speed
@Rex Colubra see first comment then add this one. Us kickboxers went over to the karate side. He asked me to come up and grabbed my wristb in a lock and out of nowhere w.o telling me or anyone else he maneuvered into a shoulder lock which popped my shoulder right out. I have a reoccurring torn labrum so its all fucked up
chsftball57 usually the guy is taller and much bigger and trying to grab someone's wrist and arm thats longer and thicker would require speed and strength and lots and lots of training. Unless you had consent training but even so there is many factors like someone else in a room that may hit you from behind etc . For a normal person is to grab anything in sight or even use your hat or spit your gum in their face to distract and run .
Yep, even that knife defense technique beast got stabbed once in a surprise attack, but without his training that surprise attack most likely would end with many-many stabs.
I've seen people fight people with knives, trust me, it aint pretty. If you ever end up in a fight with someone with a knife, or more than one person, run! I'm not even joking, just run. I have seen a MMA fighter with ten years of experience get stabbed the crap out of him, the mma fighter finally knocked the other guy out, but he was so soaked in blood you could not even recognize him, he went to the hospital seriously wounded, the guy with the knife was just knocked out and got back up later and got arrested by police. You think the mma fighter thinks it was worth it? If it happened to him again, this time he would run. Real life is not like a Matrix movie.
We need more advice like this I train MMA and the more experienced I get the more I don't want to fuck with people, if you really know how to fight then you understand how dangerous people can really be. I'd say the best advice is always be aware and always be willing to take an insult from someone
I did a lot of studying on knife defense for a project in highschool law class, focused on prison shankings, and found that using that cross block like he shows you have roughly a 47% chance of not getting stabbed, per stab...also one of my teachers said that was a really bad statics because 47% isn't much, but my other teacher who is an auxiliary police officer said it was a really good one
That's the point, once you are in such a situation, most mistakes have already been made. What they show here is making the best out of a bad situation. Then 47% is quite good.
Eric3Frog Most practical comment! Consider, as likelihood was pre-authorized session. Environment always a factor. Easily 80% more authentic *CQC/SD vid prior2 realCAM. Which JAG's & Censors would have issues.
@NoseKey well that is blatantly false, most people wont intervene, sure but other will especially if they do prepare for such occasion... i know i couldnt just stand by and watch as someone is getting stabbed to death
I've been in Law Enforcement for almost nine years and this video is awesome! Fight moves you move, great stuff! The real thing is very fast and very spontaneous, these principles are so true. Thank you very much for this video!
I’ve been reviewing knife defense techniques for a long time and can honestly say this system looks to be the most useful for defending against a recoil attack. This guy is freakin’ impressive.
I've been reviewing knife defense techniques myself as well. I can say that the system of running away is the most useful in virtually all scenarios. So just go for a run every day or two, always watch your surroundings, and don't go to shady places, you'll be much safer that way against knife attacks than by practicing close combat.
Why are so many people oblivious to evil on this planet? All human flesh, all animals flesh and all plant life/the earth, is CORRUPT via SIN long ago. Humanity has not been restored yet. That's why Evil is everywhere. People kill everyday. And any human can kill, no matter if they have any training or not. And espeially if you put certain NEGATIVE VARIABLES in someone's life. For example; them facing financial problems, cheating husband/wife, loss of job/kids, etc etc, are all negative variables and people will kill or severely hurt someone over these certain negative variables going on in their life. Money, sex, drugs and most people's lack of knowledge on how demons operate via our minds airwaves are the number one reasons why people kill. Demon operate and manipulate any airwave cause they are principalities of the air. And our minds function through the airwaves. But most people dont realize humans can be UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF DEMONS just as we can be UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF DRUGS and ALCOHOL. People who kill or hurt with the intent, are ALWAYS UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF DEMONS. Most cops and sadly most psycologist dont know this. But these people just need to be DELIVERED IN THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST and they'll go back to normal, not have pills shoved down their throats. All mental illness comes from demons messing with your mind. Focus on Jesus and they'll leave you alone. And remember demons SHUTTER and TREMBLE at the name of Jesus Christ. They are TERRIFIED of Him and us Christians because we know the knowledge that Jesus is our LITERAL WEAPON AGAINST ANY EVIL JUST BY SAYING HIS NAME AND CALLING UPON HIM. Our cops, and our investigating agencies need to wake up and so do our psycologist, "who study the human soul" bc they have no idea how demons work and they should because they study the human soul. Just sad.
My favorite type of lessons: principles tempered with real life experience. Thanks for sacrificing your body for our learning GN! Thanks Sal for sharing what works for you! 👍
neal cassady Its knife always in the dominant hand facing forward. Why would you face toward danger with the arm that has no weapon? Also standing more square, rather than to the side as you would in boxing, and the weaponless hand is used to defend, grab etc Your a trolling fool who most likely knows nothing of self defense.
Watch the Filipino style of arnis/eskrima/kali techniques of knives and bolo fighting. If that ex-marine meet a violent Fipino arnis fighter, he's dead. His technique is only effective to an opponent who's not good in handling a knife.
I appreciate both of you for this training. Like previously stated, as a Marine we drill this like crazy. However, for some reason not enough of this training translates to the civilian world for LE. This is exactly how our officers should be trained. A LE officer should be able to adjust and take control. Not only does it keep them “clean” from having the dirty media drowning him in negative press, but more importantly it may save his life.
All in or All out - my favorite piece of advice. Cant understate the power of that... Also its been said but must be said again - thanks for getting beat up so we could see this stuff in action
I watched this a year ago, got a training partner that has the same mind set and did as much of this as I could. Awareness and effectiveness are measurably better than what I did before. Particularly the fact that sizing up a situation before hand you might be able to avoid the danger entirely.
There's no substitute for seeing a live clip of a successful escape from a knife, but this is gold, among the 'demonstration' clips, most of them out there are complete bs.
Most realistic training video Ive seen so far. Boxers, BJJ and TKD practitioners at some point put on some protective gear and hit each other full force to practice their techniques. Self defense skills should be done that way also. Love it
You clearly don't train BJJ. Maybe it was just my gym but not going 100% at some point was rare. Most of the time white belts will try to strength their way out of situations, and it leads to some legit rolling. Blue belts are usually a bit more restrained, purple and above are monsters and are going to shut you the fuck down. The thing about BJJ is unlike boxing, Must Thai, etc the degrees of harm range significantly. Most of the time the goal is to lock the technique in, but if someone doesn't tap out you can start applying that technique. Also it's really fun to combine BJJ with striking so our gym regularly threw gloves on.
DonTHEhandsome1 i do TKD and we actually do nothinf about protection gear because you also dont have protection out there. And that really makes you stronger as a fighter!
I appreciate gentlemen like you that are honest and don't let your ego try to convince yourself or anyone else to expect to not get wounded . Thank you sir .
i watched once a good knife defense video . The guy after several years of training said there is now knife defense vs skilled knife user . you can't get out from the knife fight without being scratched or cut . he said either he will stab you and knife will end in your knee either he is not a good knife user. Imagine this marine attacking you with his knife , would you try to lock his arm ? that would be a suicide.
Nice to see things done in real time with some real intensity. It's a nice change from the stop motion animation we are used to in instructional videos.
I saw intensity, I didn't see an attack. I saw one thrust and then letting the other man do his demonstration. Every nonsense martial arts demonstration ever has been conducted this way. Go look at the Wing Chun or Kung Fu demonstrations, always the master 'exploding' with intensity on a completely static attacker. The only reason I care is because it was claimed in the video there would be a real attack.
Are you saying that everything that was displayed in this video has no real world validity? He did get stabbed once (with a metal training knife) but kept fighting! I'm an overnight security guard. I train Kung Fu. Kung Fu is not magic. I once took a guy down like this video. The guy, sneakily, tried to stab me in the face with a pen. It was pure reaction on my part. I don't even know what I did. My training just came out. Next thing I knew I was breaking his arm on the ground and he was screaming. I think the Marine /Cop has great experience and wisdom that can be of benefit. "The fight moves, we move!" :)
Great share here. Much appreciated. In many cases it is difficult to deliver the image of real movement vs demo movement to folks who have never been in a aggressive circumstance. Excellent job and really appreciate the time taken to share.
I'm telling you, don't think that after watching these techniques, you will be able to easily disarm your opponent; in your fantasies maybe. Theory is like 10-25% and practice is like 75-90%, so you would have to be constantly sparring with a friend and never anticipate his strikes. And even if you practice these techniques for years, you should ALWAYS do your best to avoid these moments and it's better to run away or calmly follow his orders than to engage him in a knife duel. Even professional boxers can't dodge all the jabs, how can you block or dodge a knife? I mean this happens in a blink of an eye, the stupidest thing you can do is to anticipate certain strikes; it's about adaption, going along with the moment. When this happens your fear and adrenaline kicks in, you won't be able to think straight, that's why being used to stressful situations and having muscle memory is the key. Don't try to be a hero in lethal situations, it's not a joke, engaging him is the very last thing you should do.
Divine Music Comment of the year, people often come to youtube videos or buy self defense videos and think they know how to defend themselves in a choreographed movie-like knife fight. But the truth is knife fights are quick, unpredictable, and bloody. If you get stabbed in a vital area you're survival odds are 50/50 unless you are immediately hospitalized. That's not counting if you are stabbed multiple times, how big the blade is, if the blade is serrated, or complications like infection or internal bleeding after the wound is closed. like you said it's better to do what you have to do to survive than to risk your life because you watched a training video.
well to be fair he actually said it in the beginning, this is a situation where he HAS to fight, he cant avoid it. meaning it is always better to avoid a fight.
if you just let someone knife you with no resistance you are going get killed 99% of the time. These increase your chances of survival. They do not guarantee it.
@metal cut if your lucky. cut artery, cut nerves, punctured organs is what will most likely happen. it's funny i hardly hear instructors advice to carry weapons. best chance you have to fight a knife is to carry a knife. my point is they should put more thought into making these videos; a poor fool will watch this, and think he can effectively fight a knife wielder.
Yes, unless you train you will get CUT OR STABBED. This is the best video I have seen yet, no make believe slow motion BS. Train with a Training Knife, it HURTS, no pain no gain! Thank you very much for this Video, and love the airport Dojo LOL. Train as real as possible, and neverever tell anybody you train, because, tough guy huh? Lets knife fight, NO! Walk away if you can, I have avoided many ruined nights out by just walking away. Sticks amd stones, names never hurt me, been called everything! Semper Fi
ALL CREDIT GOES TO SAL. He protected me during this demo. He demonstrated phenomenal body control. He matched my intensity with appropriate force. He knew just how far to crank and he even took my audio cues (grunts of pain) to loosen grips etc. Not once did I feel in any real danger...but I certainly felt the pain. This is a mark of a great instructor. -GN
ghostdog662 Trust me those locks are nothing to fuck with guy in class randomly walked off with my phone off my desk in front of me I went thumbs down threw him into the desk improvised arm and shoulder bar requested my phone back he of course gave it back
Funker Tactical is no joke😎 all tips and moves is direct and deadly real life saving. real situation stops in split seconds no bells no room for thinking strictly to engage in or out! I salute😊
Granted the method of defense is sound, however the one thing no one ever expects is the feint. The feint is a reliable get into or out of (in some situations) method used for eons to force your opponent into an advantageous position from which you can attack with little or no risk of counter measures.
u guys are awesome, i'm going to start working as a close protection officer soon, this video is really helpful, the most realistic knife defense training i've ever seen....thank you so much
This reminds me of my early training in Kenpo. This officer has close quarter manipulations down. What I learned as a child in Kenpo was control, manipulation and multiple strikes with penetrating blows as last on the list. Now that I am old I find that the simple manipulation techniques this officer is using are my GO TO defense. Thanks for another great video.
Hey Awful Truth, knock off the theatrics, this isn't hollyweird. This guy isn't going to run into a practiced 3 time knife wielding champion ninja assassin at his local quik stop... don't be a fuckin moron lol.
I stepped into the middle of a fight in Okmulgee Oklahoma and got cut by a box cutter that no one realized was present. I can't tell you how much hindsight can hurt. Don't wait to learn this! By the time you need it, it very well could be too late! I know I'm late to view this but I appreciate you guys. This is knowledge worth the weight of time and everyone with the capabilities should learn it. Respect for the good guys! WWG1WGA
LOL, just be careful about those edged weapon laws... LOL I think outside of texas, carrying a short sword is considered a felony unless its part of a costume in a designated area... LOL but Im sure you've heard that in the previous 5 replies. Stay safe. Stay legal.
ive been training martial arts for 18 year myself and this guy is on point.. ive been to so many so cald masters teaching classes with very so cald masters in both krav maga and pekiti tirsia or savate etc etc.... sheldom do any of em mention that you will get hurt you will get cut you will need stitches.... not to be rude against fred maestro or doug marcaida or say eyal yanilov of krav maga global many things they teach are good but much more things they teach are rubbish and to much advanced.... always always keep it so damn simple a kid can do it after one try if your students ask you how you did that its to advanced already. its about reaction not thinking and then acting on it. ive been working the door as a bouncer and as a dont know what its called in american but you do the police work without being im the police. i worked as a civilian aressting shoplifters and people that did vandalism etc. you then find out pretty fast that 99,99% of all the martial arts in the world dont count for shit and people that can brawl and often street fight they know their shit and is not to be messed with
knife sharpening norway I try to tell people that. I practiced Jeet kune do after getting decent with boxing from childhood. I street fought ALOT after I learned jeet kune do I still had some moments where I had hard times against people who developed their own styles to just work against others and it taught me instead of relying on a style just rely on what works which is why I love Jeet kune do. I wasn't getting that at first I thought I had to copy the teachers lol no no no that's how you get your ass beat
I loved the times he tried to attack when he looked like he was resting from the last demo. Still didn't work. LOL! The one thing that gets in the way for most people is the idea of getting stabbed. That's where they can't psychologically get past it. People go into such training thinking: "Oh, when I'm done with training, nobody will be able to stab me." But, that's not the case. Odds are, you will get stabbed or cut up. If you don't, the attackers is really bad at it, or it's a very good day. Even in the demo, there were a couple times when he said: "Yeah, you got me" but still gained control. Once you resign to the fact that you will likely get hurt, then you can begin to train with purpose. What you end up doing is minimizing the damage you take, while inflicting overwhelming damage to the attacker. One thing you can't do is get stuck and freak out thinking your going to die. If you do panic, you are no longer thinking straight and then the chances you will in fact die, go way up. Being calm and in control are so important in these situations. These guys are both excellent! My hat's off to them.
You remind me of my brother, RIP EOW 9/17/17, skilled and fast. He trained relentlessly. Best op to ever serve, but I'm biased of course. Y'all watch this. Probably the best knife vid I've ever seen. Thanks guys.
what point is learning to defend yourself when your teacher breaks your shoulders and elbows during practice? obviously his concepts work very well, and I have no doubt they would protect you. but having this stuff done to you isn't sustainable man, you're joints are gonna give eventually.
Im damned if I do and Im damned if I dont. When we go slow, folks call for fast. When we do fast, they call for slow. I appreciate your concern for me, I seriously appreciate it. But I have to do what I have to do to get the point across. -GN
Knife fights are the most lethal game of tag you could ever play.. And all it takes is ONE tag for the game to end fast..They only gotta get lucky one time for you to be unlucky for your last time..
Thanks for getting your ass whooped on, for our betterment GN. You're a real bro and an awesome dude. Don't know many that would take that kinda beating and real honest to God pain for a video on training for UA-cam. Also, to the last part of your video. My old man was a Law Officers Training Board Certified Police Firearms and Combative instructor for like 20ish years when I was growing up. Used to tell me and his guys on the PD all the time. "Nothing on my head says little man can fight or little man can shoot. You never know who you're dealing with on the street."
Good video, good advice. I think it is obvious to anyone that this would take many months of consistent training at a high level to be able to achieve a level of functional ability and muscle memory. I am also a Marine and now I am a retired police/corrections officer. In my 20+ years of service I have been stabbed once and slashed twice and have had to face a knife wielding criminal a total of 6 times. The first time I got stabbed it was in my sternum and lucky for me the blade was of cheap material and bent on impact. I became enraged at this point and overwhelmed my assailant with punches and kicks. The first time I got slashed he slashed at my face and I was able to get my left hand up to block his strike and he cut through my pinkie finger to the bone. Again luck was on my side as the first arterial spurt hit him in the eyes blinding him and I was able to get away to safety and radio for help. The second time I got slashed was across my chest cutting through my shirt and making a superficial cut across my chest. I was able grab a trash can lid to fend him off and bash his face in to disarm him. The next time I was threatened with a knife I used a metal folding chair to defend myself WWE style. The next occasion I used a heavy glass ashtray to disarm a knife wielding inmate by throwing it at him and hitting him in the face knocking him unconscious. The last time an inmate pulled a knife on me and another officer while chasing him around the cell block. The other officer when he saw the knife turned and ran away so fast that I laughed which caused the inmate to laugh and I was able to get him to surrender the knife and allow me to cuff him and escort him to SHU. I hold shodan ranks in Isshinryu karate, Judo and aikijitsu and I never tried to perform any martial arts techniques during these incidents except the first one. "We do not rise to the level of our expectations, we fall to the level of our training." Archilochus
lucky knifewielders. not one was shot (besides the ashtray guy :D and we dont know about the pinkiefinger cutter). id assume another ratio of dead knife assailtants aspecialy in the us. gj i guess.
I have only just started learning Kali Silat. The rules are the same. Rule number 1, there are no rules. I love this. Self defense is a dirty thing. Thanks for the lessons.

GN- I told you a year ago that this was the best video and it still holds true 🇺🇲❤✊
Put up more videos with sal he is Awsome great video
As a bouncer, I fought a guy with a knife. He was stabbing another person before I fought him. I did not think about a thing before I stepped in. After the fact, I realized I made a huge mistake. I walked away without being hurt. My family could have lost me. I served 7 years in the Army, but know that does not matter. No matter the training you receive, you can always lose your life.
You probably saved the guy. Kudos to you man. If it bothers you, I think you did the hard thing which most people wouldn’t be willing to do.
That was a difficult decition but yes, you are still alive enjoying your family. Congrat bro.
Thats a rare think to do. You did what you felt was right. Respect. Why do you think it was a mistake? Was the attacker a trained fighter?
@@DrWowFL not to my knowledge. It was just stupid to get in the middle of a stabbing. I saved a life and was lucky I didn't get hurt or killed.
It's really sad the bystander effect hits people so hard that even a trained individual regrets saving a life just because it put their own in danger
"Techniques fail. Focus on principles & keep going!" By far the most important piece of advise this channel has ever stated.
Not for nothing, but Ryan Hoover has been saying this for a long time. -GN
@@FunkerTactical hey Bro where is that highlighted comment of mine about "Capt.Red Shirt being the fuckin shit!!"?? It didn't offend him did it?? He seem's too me like a man who couldn't give a fuck about your feelings!! And doesn't get his offended too easily either........
This is one of this best defensive videos I've ever seen.........and I'm trying to watch them all........and have seen many of the decent ones.......but there's far more shit available then anything good, but this video and demo works well for a reason............
I have seriously trained over 40 years and this video is truely outstanding. Thank you gentlemen.
Two principles: 1) In a knife fight expect to get cut and 2) The only dirty fight is the one you lose.

Fighting with honor only means you learn not to protect your weak spots.
Yeah this is so true anyone that sees my reply remember fights can happen with anyone your friends anyone I do mma btw my favorite is the jujitsu part ok back to the point just because you kick in a fight/knee/elbow it’s better then getting hit yourself people will call you Pussy for kicking well tell them to fuck off and yeah I know this because I kick to keep distance and I got called that many times yeah for sure it makes me mad but at the end of the day the only thing that matters is that you didn’t get hit
Haha its not about being fair or not, if you pull out a knife, im gonna pull out a knife, if you try to fight with fists, i will do that too.. but in my book, depending on the size comparison, if you pull out a knife during a fist fight, your just a bitch lol
@@nathanaelsalazar4194 Pulling a knife out vs. another knife is not such a great idea mate hahah, there´s an old saying about knife fights "the loser dies in the street, the winner dies in the hospital" if someone pulls a knife you better haul ass and get out of there unless you wanna get killed.
It's been years since the first time I watched this video. Yet still, this is legitimately one of the best knife defense education video I've ever watch, and will absolutely watch again in the future. The simplicity, rawness, reality. So good, well explained!

CAPTAIN NEW YORK RED SHIRT'S THE FUCKIN SHIT! AND IS ON 'THE FRIENDS' AND DO NOT TRY TO ROB LIST! LOL
Saw this over a year ago. Still one of the best and realistic knife defenses I have ever seen. Great job guys
It's not that realistic actually. In a real knife fight, the defender should stay as far away as possible, and if somehow the attacker gets this close, that means it's almost game over. I'm not kidding, at that range you're as good as dunzo.
Of course this video is still a little bit useful because you should never give up, but really this scenario shouldn't happen. Unless perhaps if you're trying to protect someone else, then you might have to engage like that.
Always keep your eyes open and never, I mean NEVER engage in a knife fight unless you're protecting someone else. Otherwise always run away, 100% of the time.
@@ETBrooD yea no, this guy’s comment need recognition. Best method is STILL to just avoid the engagement altogether but “Knife Defense” is just a really marketable term i guess.
@@ETBrooD that's not true at all. In facts to be effective vs knife you have to be closer as possible ( when you can't run). That's why most ppl get hurt, because they try to get distance when it's not possible anymore.
@@ETBrooD speak for yourselve, I agree its not realistic, but Any knowledge is useful. Having confidence and killer instinct
You realize that the guy in the red shirt is doing aikido when he's successful... the other times he's messing up big time by standing in front of the attacker. First rule: GET OFF THE LINE OF ATTACK DO NOT STAND IN FRONT OF A GUY WITH A KNIFE! I knew you'd love the fact that he's doing almost pure aikido. The whole thing about locking his arm under his armpit isn't going to work, the attacker is going to punch you in the face and if the attacker is bigger it wont work at all. The only thing that works with knives is GET OFF THE LINE. Don't try this at home.
6:58 you're welcome
Thanks
the actual comment which i am scrolling for..
Thanks bro 😁
I think he stab him hahaha
THANKS! I WAS THINKING HE WAS GOING TO DISARM HIM BY TALKING HIS EAR TO DEATH.....
"If a knife is involved, fight dirty" (Doug Marciada).
In my oppinion - fight the dirtiest possible way. Do the worst thing you know. Every shit is legit in those case.
Unless you want to die.
My uncle had a rough life in his 20s. He once told me he had to bite a dudes earlobe right off his head to make him stop his knife attack. The dude was on some drugs on top of having a knife
Ok, I will say if someone has a knife and it's available, try the stuff ur talking about, but please don't rely on it. Several of my "I'll just bite him/kick in groin/poke/gouge his eyes out" friends thought it would work, until they hit someone and realized just trying to use pain doesn't help against someone on an adrenaline rush. One guy tried it, it didn't work, then ran away when it didn't, leaving another one of my friends to get beaten up by 3 guys, long story short he almost got blinded in one eye. Don't rely on just ball punches, eye strikes and biting, it'll work very seldom. If u want to protect urself, make sure ur self defence gym is legitimate, or join somewhere that does legit martial arts like muay thai, bjj, mma, boxing etc.
ALWAYS fight dirty! Osu

Hey GN thanks for taking one for the team, you were a great instructor along with Sal
Thanks brother! But I decline the term instructor...I have not earned that. -GN
Trained with the IDF commandoes back in the first intifada in the 1980s. This is exactly how we trained. We walked away sore, bruised, bloody, and always in pain. But it looked like this demonstration. We were told, "No stop and go. No posing. No pre-planning." All attacks came from nowhere, and what we were taught the most was to go inside, even though we knew we would be cut. Wrap with one hand, inflict pain to the vital points with the other. No two attacks are the same, so why train the, "What ifs?" Everything is a what if, so the only technique to use is the one that works in that particular moment. Excellent lesson here. Heed it well.
I thought it looked similar to some of the techniques I am learning in Krav Maga.
I LOVE how authentic this was. I'd say LITERALLY 99% of martial art videos do the freeze frame techniques and opponents that attack once and let you take them down. Very little reality there. This was as real as it gets within the realm of training. Great job. Great info! Thanks!
I thought I was trained until I was cut by a 15 year old who was “blooding in” to a gang. I walk with a cane and carried both a can of pepper spray and a pistol for self defense. I was distracted and totally engaged in what I was doing. I noticed the kid all in red looking at me from across the street. I ignored him. I felt an electrical type of sting on my left arm. He was slashing at me and I got cut, very badly cut. He looked away for a fraction of a second. I was able to smack him with my cane but he then cut me again. It was over in seconds. My martial arts, my weapons my situational awareness all were of no use. My cane , necessary for walking, undoubtably made the attack stop. If my attacker’s intent was murder he could have easily stabbed me in a vital spot. As it was I needed 67 stitches to close my wounds. All of my training failed because I was not aware of my surroundings.
Rev Marcell > Your lucky he didn't know how to really stab like they do in prison, otherwise you'd be dead right now.
RR T Believe me I think of that often.
Rev Marcell > I'm sorry that happened to you and I hope justice was served on that little punk.
RR T The detectives told me that if I prosecuted this thug , his friends and fellow gang members would know my home address. My would be targets.
@@revmarcell6449 So the kid got away because his gang knew where you lived?
Retired infantry soldier here who has been stabbed disarming a subject with a blade. you are absolutely correct in focusing on the threat and eliminating it fast with as little damage to yourself as possible. Love the video.
Three minutes in, I already love it. Seven minutes in, I really wanna train with this guy.
Contact the guy. He would love to hear from you. : instagram.com/ido_consulting -GN
Just went there, signed up, didn't see anywhere to ask a question, tried to comment with the video like this one but saw no way to enter the comment/question about training videos. Please advise.
"if we're gonna play the what if game, let him play it"
I love that
I love the fact that he said " I won't be able to build a tolerance to getting stabbed, but I still need the negative consequences " . great training.
One of the first lessons we learned during self defence class was that when someone attacks you, you need to have the mentality prepared to get hurt. That's not blindly taking damage, you need to have self preserverance, but if you are always worried about getting hurt, you will automatically become scared. The techniques showed in this video is very practical. The two thumbs down grab is amazing.
Self preserverance?
@@benparsons4979 Self preservation would be the word he was looking for.
in training, I learned one valuable technique to get over being punched by one of my Brothers; Have your training partner punch you a couple times. You get over the "but what if I get hit" factor REALLY quick. LOL. Also, if you have students, or others you train with, when the adrenaline is flowing, you find how little getting hit in the face actually hurts.
as both a marine grunt, and Kali/silat practitioner... and one who's been in a few scuffles, you touched on the main points; fights do not go in slow mo, do not stop until YOU stop them, and are NEVER fair. I do have to admit, I've never stopped to consider the above or below 90 degrees before. THAT was an amazing insight, and really does lend credence to the 4,5,8,12 angle systems. I think with my students, I'll continue the various angles, solely to keep tradition alive, and show the various things one does with each angle, THEN as they advance, break into the above or below 90 concept, so they can get a real appreciation for everything else they've learned and put the pieces together much faster. THAT, is brilliant.
post script; I find people that delve into "what if" have never actually been in fight scenarios before. That isn't a bad thing either... it just gets annoying really. What if? answer: what happens, happens, and you deal with what you have at that moment, while praying for the best. I always tell people who ask about knife techniques one common thing regardless of their fantastical scenarios; if a knife is involved you have two guarantees. 1) you will bleed, and 2) there WILL be legal consequences.
Are you sure you a silat practitioner? Kali and silat are different
Please be nice to your training partner. Joints take a long time to heal. If they actually heal.
Couldn't agree more. I was at a joint kickboxing academy /karate
We switched camps the one day. The karate instructor had my arm in a lock and he didnt know me but ive had shoulder issue from a torn labrum. That guy tore my shoulder when he went full speed
Hell no
@@Laffy1345 not necessarily nice just dont be stupid thats what i was aiming at
@Rex Colubra i was so surprised i yelled lol
@Rex Colubra see first comment then add this one. Us kickboxers went over to the karate side. He asked me to come up and grabbed my wristb in a lock and out of nowhere w.o telling me or anyone else he maneuvered into a shoulder lock which popped my shoulder right out. I have a reoccurring torn labrum so its all fucked up
One of the best knife videos I've seen. I like how they repeat you WILL GET CUT AND OR STABBED. Just the reality of dealing with that situation.
Correct - I have 24 years in LE. I never saw a knife fight were no one got cut. Usually both, mostly not fatal, but always bloody.
chsftball57 usually the guy is taller and much bigger and trying to grab someone's wrist and arm thats longer and thicker would require speed and strength and lots and lots of training. Unless you had consent training but even so there is many factors like someone else in a room that may hit you from behind etc . For a normal person is to grab anything in sight or even use your hat or spit your gum in their face to distract and run .
Yep, even that knife defense technique beast got stabbed once in a surprise attack, but without his training that surprise attack most likely would end with many-many stabs.
I've seen people fight people with knives, trust me, it aint pretty. If you ever end up in a fight with someone with a knife, or more than one person, run! I'm not even joking, just run. I have seen a MMA fighter with ten years of experience get stabbed the crap out of him, the mma fighter finally knocked the other guy out, but he was so soaked in blood you could not even recognize him, he went to the hospital seriously wounded, the guy with the knife was just knocked out and got back up later and got arrested by police. You think the mma fighter thinks it was worth it? If it happened to him again, this time he would run. Real life is not like a Matrix movie.
It only applies if you run faster than your oponent. This isn't a given.
We need more advice like this
I train MMA and the more experienced I get the more I don't want to fuck with people, if you really know how to fight then you understand how dangerous people can really be.
I'd say the best advice is always be aware and always be willing to take an insult from someone
@@adamzoubi96 Exactly, dont let your own pride get you killed.
But when you have that experience, it might be better fight. You don’t know if you’re actually faster
I agree. If you have 45 minutes or so read my comment above.
I did a lot of studying on knife defense for a project in highschool law class, focused on prison shankings, and found that using that cross block like he shows you have roughly a 47% chance of not getting stabbed, per stab...also one of my teachers said that was a really bad statics because 47% isn't much, but my other teacher who is an auxiliary police officer said it was a really good one
That's the point, once you are in such a situation, most mistakes have already been made. What they show here is making the best out of a bad situation. Then 47% is quite good.

@NoseKey well that is blatantly false, most people wont intervene, sure but other will especially if they do prepare for such occasion... i know i couldnt just stand by and watch as someone is getting stabbed to death
Mall cop wants no trouble lol 😂
I've been in Law Enforcement for almost nine years and this video is awesome! Fight moves you move, great stuff! The real thing is very fast and very spontaneous, these principles are so true. Thank you very much for this video!
This is hands down one of the best “knife defense” videos I’ve seen. Concepts and control trump all, you will get hurt, be aggressive!!
I’ve been reviewing knife defense techniques for a long time and can honestly say this system looks to be the most useful for defending against a recoil attack. This guy is freakin’ impressive.
I've been reviewing knife defense techniques myself as well. I can say that the system of running away is the most useful in virtually all scenarios.
So just go for a run every day or two, always watch your surroundings, and don't go to shady places, you'll be much safer that way against knife attacks than by practicing close combat.
Run away if your involved in a knife fight unless you got a gun on you
It scares me to know that there are people this capable.
Thank god hes a good guy

@Jimmi Jams "he's a pig" shut the fuck up you clown. that man is more trustworthy than your lawless ass
Why are so many people oblivious to evil on this planet? All human flesh, all animals flesh and all plant life/the earth, is CORRUPT via SIN long ago. Humanity has not been restored yet. That's why Evil is everywhere. People kill everyday. And any human can kill, no matter if they have any training or not. And espeially if you put certain NEGATIVE VARIABLES in someone's life. For example; them facing financial problems, cheating husband/wife, loss of job/kids, etc etc, are all negative variables and people will kill or severely hurt someone over these certain negative variables going on in their life. Money, sex, drugs and most people's lack of knowledge on how demons operate via our minds airwaves are the number one reasons why people kill. Demon operate and manipulate any airwave cause they are principalities of the air. And our minds function through the airwaves. But most people dont realize humans can be UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF DEMONS just as we can be UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF DRUGS and ALCOHOL. People who kill or hurt with the intent, are ALWAYS UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF DEMONS. Most cops and sadly most psycologist dont know this. But these people just need to be DELIVERED IN THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST and they'll go back to normal, not have pills shoved down their throats. All mental illness comes from demons messing with your mind. Focus on Jesus and they'll leave you alone. And remember demons SHUTTER and TREMBLE at the name of Jesus Christ. They are TERRIFIED of Him and us Christians because we know the knowledge that Jesus is our LITERAL WEAPON AGAINST ANY EVIL JUST BY SAYING HIS NAME AND CALLING UPON HIM. Our cops, and our investigating agencies need to wake up and so do our psycologist, "who study the human soul" bc they have no idea how demons work and they should because they study the human soul. Just sad.
The guy’s shoulder must be sore the next day. Thank you for the knowledge and both of your services.
This is the only way to learn. Not even close to a real threat, but if you can’t handle this then you’re a corpse.
Much respect!
My favorite type of lessons: principles tempered with real life experience. Thanks for sacrificing your body for our learning GN! Thanks Sal for sharing what works for you! 👍
Thanks for your positive encouragement. -GN
neal cassady Its knife always in the dominant hand facing forward. Why would you face toward danger with the arm that has no weapon? Also standing more square, rather than to the side as you would in boxing, and the weaponless hand is used to defend, grab etc Your a trolling fool who most likely knows nothing of self defense.
This was an incredible video. In 15 years of studying martial arts, I haven’t seen knife defense explained so well.
Watch the Filipino style of arnis/eskrima/kali techniques of knives and bolo fighting. If that ex-marine meet a violent Fipino arnis fighter, he's dead. His technique is only effective to an opponent who's not good in handling a knife.
Probably the best real world knife defense video on UA-cam, thx brother!!
Frank Castle is that you?
Nezatron LOL! My thoughts exactly!
One batch, two batch.
Penny and Dime.
I was thinking the same thing 🤣
😂😂punisherrr!
the best super hero of all time
I appreciate both of you for this training. Like previously stated, as a Marine we drill this like crazy. However, for some reason not enough of this training translates to the civilian world for LE. This is exactly how our officers should be trained. A LE officer should be able to adjust and take control. Not only does it keep them “clean” from having the dirty media drowning him in negative press, but more importantly it may save his life.
As a LEO, I tried giving this post 100 likes....nope, unfortunately doesn't work lol.
Nice to see someone actually doing something realistic instead of all the flashy bullshit that seems so rampant

One of the best and realistic lessons I have seen in awhile! Thank you!
Wow. This is some experience based content, no fancy ballerina techniques. Thank you for sharing !
I watched this a year ago, got a training partner that has the same mind set and did as much of this as I could. Awareness and effectiveness are measurably better than what I did before. Particularly the fact that sizing up a situation before hand you might be able to avoid the danger entirely.

Good man.
Dude's arm was never the same after this demo.
qualityguy true
There's no substitute for seeing a live clip of a successful escape
from a knife, but this is gold, among the 'demonstration' clips, most
of them out there are complete bs.
One of the most realistic demos iv seen!
Most realistic training video Ive seen so far. Boxers, BJJ and TKD practitioners at some point put on some protective gear and hit each other full force to practice their techniques. Self defense skills should be done that way also. Love it
You clearly don't train BJJ. Maybe it was just my gym but not going 100% at some point was rare. Most of the time white belts will try to strength their way out of situations, and it leads to some legit rolling. Blue belts are usually a bit more restrained, purple and above are monsters and are going to shut you the fuck down. The thing about BJJ is unlike boxing, Must Thai, etc the degrees of harm range significantly. Most of the time the goal is to lock the technique in, but if someone doesn't tap out you can start applying that technique. Also it's really fun to combine BJJ with striking so our gym regularly threw gloves on.
Have u seen Muay Thai training?
OspreyBravo18 You didn't read his comment properly, he said that BJJ practitioners DO go full force at some point.
DonTHEhandsome1 yea men, you can't relay on anything if you haven't tested it properly, lots of people get hurt for training without sparring.
DonTHEhandsome1 i do TKD and we actually do nothinf about protection gear because you also dont have protection out there. And that really makes you stronger as a fighter!
I appreciate gentlemen like you that are honest and don't let your ego try to convince yourself or anyone else to expect to not get wounded . Thank you sir .
This guy is good. GN, you took one for the team. You're awesome dude. Big kudos to Sal, he's a warrior.
That was really the best video about knife defence i've ever seen, congratulations, i'm really thankful, and please still doing It good!!
i watched once a good knife defense video . The guy after several years of training said there is now knife defense vs skilled knife user .
you can't get out from the knife fight without being scratched or cut .
he said either he will stab you and knife will end in your knee either he is not a good knife user.
Imagine this marine attacking you with his knife , would you try to lock his arm ? that would be a suicide.
Fck angles of attack. The attacker already one. He closed the distance. Best defense. Get distance or die.
Wendel Gomes hell yea it was a awesome .
Same thought, as an inexperienced fighter this was really informative!
victim's verse
This guy's reactions are just killing me dude lmfao. Very realistic video though, it really debunks these what-ifs you get when training martial arts.
This video earned you both serious respect and a new subscriber.
Nice to see things done in real time with some real intensity. It's a nice change from the stop motion animation we are used to in instructional videos.
Des Bennett ouch. Stop motion animation. #ShotsFired
Funker Tactical - Fight Training Videos Not your channel obviously, I'm referring to other UA-cam content
I saw intensity, I didn't see an attack. I saw one thrust and then letting the other man do his demonstration. Every nonsense martial arts demonstration ever has been conducted this way. Go look at the Wing Chun or Kung Fu demonstrations, always the master 'exploding' with intensity on a completely static attacker. The only reason I care is because it was claimed in the video there would be a real attack.
Are you saying that everything that was displayed in this video has no real world validity? He did get stabbed once (with a metal training knife) but kept fighting! I'm an overnight security guard. I train Kung Fu. Kung Fu is not magic. I once took a guy down like this video. The guy, sneakily, tried to stab me in the face with a pen. It was pure reaction on my part. I don't even know what I did. My training just came out. Next thing I knew I was breaking his arm on the ground and he was screaming. I think the Marine /Cop has great experience and wisdom that can be of benefit. "The fight moves, we move!" :)
Great share here. Much appreciated. In many cases it is difficult to deliver the image of real movement vs demo movement to folks who have never been in a aggressive circumstance. Excellent job and really appreciate the time taken to share.
I'm telling you, don't think that after watching these techniques, you will be able to easily disarm your opponent; in your fantasies maybe. Theory is like 10-25% and practice is like 75-90%, so you would have to be constantly sparring with a friend and never anticipate his strikes. And even if you practice these techniques for years, you should ALWAYS do your best to avoid these moments and it's better to run away or calmly follow his orders than to engage him in a knife duel. Even professional boxers can't dodge all the jabs, how can you block or dodge a knife?
I mean this happens in a blink of an eye, the stupidest thing you can do is to anticipate certain strikes; it's about adaption, going along with the moment. When this happens your fear and adrenaline kicks in, you won't be able to think straight, that's why being used to stressful situations and having muscle memory is the key. Don't try to be a hero in lethal situations, it's not a joke, engaging him is the very last thing you should do.
Divine Music Comment of the year, people often come to youtube videos or buy self defense videos and think they know how to defend themselves in a choreographed movie-like knife fight. But the truth is knife fights are quick, unpredictable, and bloody. If you get stabbed in a vital area you're survival odds are 50/50 unless you are immediately hospitalized. That's not counting if you are stabbed multiple times, how big the blade is, if the blade is serrated, or complications like infection or internal bleeding after the wound is closed. like you said it's better to do what you have to do to survive than to risk your life because you watched a training video.
well to be fair he actually said it in the beginning, this is a situation where he HAS to fight, he cant avoid it. meaning it is always better to avoid a fight.
it's a jarhead cop, you think he will give that kind of sound advice.
if you just let someone knife you with no resistance you are going get killed 99% of the time. These increase your chances of survival. They do not guarantee it.
@metal cut if your lucky. cut artery, cut nerves, punctured organs is what will most likely happen. it's funny i hardly hear instructors advice to carry weapons. best chance you have to fight a knife is to carry a knife. my point is they should put more thought into making these videos; a poor fool will watch this, and think he can effectively fight a knife wielder.
Thank you Gentlemen for your service and for all that you do, Great Work !

ALL CREDIT GOES TO SAL. He protected me during this demo. He demonstrated phenomenal body control. He matched my intensity with appropriate force.

Granted the method of defense is sound, however the one thing no one ever expects is the feint. The feint is a reliable get into or out of (in some situations) method used for eons to force your opponent into an advantageous position from which you can attack with little or no risk of counter measures.
I guess you just have to hope they don't, and do your best to recover if they do.
u guys are awesome, i'm going to start working as a close protection officer soon, this video is really helpful, the most realistic knife defense training i've ever seen....thank you so much
This is one of the best training clips on UA-cam.
This reminds me of my early training in Kenpo. This officer has close quarter manipulations down. What I learned as a child in Kenpo was control, manipulation and multiple strikes with penetrating blows as last on the list. Now that I am old I find that the simple manipulation techniques this officer is using are my GO TO defense. Thanks for another great video.

Totally true but also has zero to do with knife fighting and knife defense. Completely different animal and principals need to be used.

This is knowledge worth the weight of time and everyone with the capabilities should learn it.
Respect for the good guys! WWG1WGA
Exactly. Except 864511320.
I'll just carry a Crocodile Dundee with me. Thats not a knife! Now this is a knife!
I carry a negan knife
The larger the blade is the easier it will be to defend against if someone pulls out a compact karambit that's when you 🏃
Naaaif
thats not a knife, its a spoon
LOL, just be careful about those edged weapon laws... LOL I think outside of texas, carrying a short sword is considered a felony unless its part of a costume in a designated area... LOL but Im sure you've heard that in the previous 5 replies. Stay safe. Stay legal.
These longer form instructional videos are great. More like this!
Thanks for the input. I will consider this. -GN
Some of the BEST knife defense techniques ever.MOST that you see on YT would get you killed.Keep up the good work!
It looks like you shoulder was gonna be real sore for quite a while after filming ended. 😄
ive been training martial arts for 18 year myself and this guy is on point..
ive been to so many so cald masters teaching classes with very so cald masters in both krav maga and pekiti tirsia or savate etc etc....
sheldom do any of em mention that you will get hurt you will get cut you will need stitches....
not to be rude against fred maestro or doug marcaida or say eyal yanilov of krav maga global many things they teach are good but much more things they teach are rubbish and to much advanced....
always always keep it so damn simple a kid can do it after one try if your students ask you how you did that its to advanced already.
its about reaction not thinking and then acting on it.
ive been working the door as a bouncer and as a dont know what its called in american but you do the police work without being im the police. i worked as a civilian aressting shoplifters and people that did vandalism etc.
you then find out pretty fast that 99,99% of all the martial arts in the world dont count for shit and people that can brawl and often street fight they know their shit and is not to be messed with
Run if you can, if not then Sal coverage was Great. Disable the attacking arm and vulnerable spots like the eyes and throat and balls.
knife sharpening norway I try to tell people that. I practiced Jeet kune do after getting decent with boxing from childhood. I street fought ALOT after I learned jeet kune do I still had some moments where I had hard times against people who developed their own styles to just work against others and it taught me instead of relying on a style just rely on what works which is why I love Jeet kune do. I wasn't getting that at first I thought I had to copy the teachers lol no no no that's how you get your ass beat
I loved the times he tried to attack when he looked like he was resting from the last demo. Still didn't work. LOL! The one thing that gets in the way for most people is the idea of getting stabbed. That's where they can't psychologically get past it. People go into such training thinking: "Oh, when I'm done with training, nobody will be able to stab me." But, that's not the case. Odds are, you will get stabbed or cut up. If you don't, the attackers is really bad at it, or it's a very good day. Even in the demo, there were a couple times when he said: "Yeah, you got me" but still gained control. Once you resign to the fact that you will likely get hurt, then you can begin to train with purpose. What you end up doing is minimizing the damage you take, while inflicting overwhelming damage to the attacker. One thing you can't do is get stuck and freak out thinking your going to die. If you do panic, you are no longer thinking straight and then the chances you will in fact die, go way up. Being calm and in control are so important in these situations. These guys are both excellent! My hat's off to them.
6:58 Wins the internet right here lmao, really good , now you can believe
its not rehearsed like all the others. Awesome.
Great point, dynamic training with consequences, work with what you are presented with. No freeze frame slow-mo Hollywood training.
You remind me of my brother, RIP EOW 9/17/17, skilled and fast. He trained relentlessly. Best op to ever serve, but I'm biased of course. Y'all watch this. Probably the best knife vid I've ever seen. Thanks guys.
this is great stuff man, i love the realistic approach, not the rehearsed, not going to happen i real life BS. Keep it real, i have learned from this,
Join me in thanking Sal for his contribution by following him on Instagram here: instagram.com/ido_consulting
Funker Tactical - Fight Training Videos finally again some great content ;) ;)
If i used instagram, i'd follow him in a heartbeat. That was an amazing demonstration.
what point is learning to defend yourself when your teacher breaks your shoulders and elbows during practice? obviously his concepts work very well, and I have no doubt they would protect you. but having this stuff done to you isn't sustainable man, you're joints are gonna give eventually.
this isn't training. This is a demonstration.
Im damned if I do and Im damned if I dont. When we go slow, folks call for fast. When we do fast, they call for slow. I appreciate your concern for me, I seriously appreciate it. But I have to do what I have to do to get the point across. -GN
Knife fights are the most lethal game of tag you could ever play..
And all it takes is ONE tag for the game to end fast..They only gotta get lucky one time for you to be unlucky for your last time..
The poor camera work tells me all bout the legitmacy of the dudes
Amen hahaha
@@ninjabreadgirl amen? U prayin?
@@lumiliyabnaapoy4283 bruh 🤦 amen means it is so. She/he is agreeing
Taps out but keeps getting thrown around. Made my morning.
You guys are actually the real deal....excellent moves and instruction.
Thanks for getting your ass whooped on, for our betterment GN. You're a real bro and an awesome dude. Don't know many that would take that kinda beating and real honest to God pain for a video on training for UA-cam.
Also, to the last part of your video. My old man was a Law Officers Training Board Certified Police Firearms and Combative instructor for like 20ish years when I was growing up. Used to tell me and his guys on the PD all the time. "Nothing on my head says little man can fight or little man can shoot. You never know who you're dealing with on the street."
Thank you...believe it or not, its my absolute pleasure to get my ass kicked. -GN
Excellent video ! Great energy and grounded in reality .
This is one of the best instructional videos I have seen. The other is gun guy vs knife guy. Great stuff.
Thank you, best video ever, realistic. Please make more videos like this one.
Good video, good advice. I think it is obvious to anyone that this would take many months of consistent training at a high level to be able to achieve a level of functional ability and muscle memory. I am also a Marine and now I am a retired police/corrections officer. In my 20+ years of service I have been stabbed once and slashed twice and have had to face a knife wielding criminal a total of 6 times. The first time I got stabbed it was in my sternum and lucky for me the blade was of cheap material and bent on impact. I became enraged at this point and overwhelmed my assailant with punches and kicks. The first time I got slashed he slashed at my face and I was able to get my left hand up to block his strike and he cut through my pinkie finger to the bone. Again luck was on my side as the first arterial spurt hit him in the eyes blinding him and I was able to get away to safety and radio for help. The second time I got slashed was across my chest cutting through my shirt and making a superficial cut across my chest. I was able grab a trash can lid to fend him off and bash his face in to disarm him. The next time I was threatened with a knife I used a metal folding chair to defend myself WWE style. The next occasion I used a heavy glass ashtray to disarm a knife wielding inmate by throwing it at him and hitting him in the face knocking him unconscious. The last time an inmate pulled a knife on me and another officer while chasing him around the cell block. The other officer when he saw the knife turned and ran away so fast that I laughed which caused the inmate to laugh and I was able to get him to surrender the knife and allow me to cuff him and escort him to SHU. I hold shodan ranks in Isshinryu karate, Judo and aikijitsu and I never tried to perform any martial arts techniques during these incidents except the first one. "We do not rise to the level of our expectations, we fall to the level of our training." Archilochus
lucky knifewielders. not one was shot (besides the ashtray guy :D and we dont know about the pinkiefinger cutter). id assume another ratio of dead knife assailtants aspecialy in the us. gj i guess.
@@johndoe-is2fw pinkiefinger cutter got thumped or as we called it back in those days "wall to wall counseling"

@@johndoe-is2fw All of the incidents I described happened in correctional facilities where firearms are not allowed.
Your last experience was hilarious man...respect to you for surviving all those incidents.
This is my all-time favorite knife video. Basic, no bullshit, principle-based training brilliance.
He hasn't lowered his hands yet in the interview. Hand talker or prepared?

Makes you think us Italians have this habit for a good reason doesn't it ;)

Great video. Well done! Semper fi to my brother Marine.
I have only just started learning Kali Silat. The rules are the same. Rule number 1, there are no rules.
I love this. Self defense is a dirty thing.
Thanks for the lessons.
