![]() I’ve had some realistic medium training in the past with another knife fighter. Tip: The trick is to keep your eyes open and avoid staring only at the gun. If you are educated in the way of the knife, you have a 21 feet allowance from anyone wielding a gun to be able to close the gap and turn the fight into hand-to-hand combat. Even so, prepare to get stabbed before being able to disarm your opponent. Tip: Hitting your attacker’s face with a blunt weapon, a head-butt, your fist, or your palm for disorientation is a much better way to approach a disarm for self-defense training. If your opponent is in good condition, you will never disarm your opponent through locks. On top of that, the only reason you are able to lock your opponent’s hand or arm is your opponent’s fatigue. If you are about to try to lock the hand or arm of an attacker, you can expect to get stabbed 5 – 10 times before actually being able to do so. We regularly spar with dull wooden blades here and 100% of the time, disarms don’t work. ![]() Knife disarming techniques are deadly self-defense moves – for the one doing the disarming. Make sure you carry it in such a way that it’s easy to pull out if you’re carrying it inside waistband (IWB) style. A folding knife is great, but a fixed blade is even better. Tip: Bring a knife that is easy to deploy in times-of-need. It’s a weapon always ready to draw blood. There’s no reloading time, there’s no concept of ammunition with a knife. Sure, you can argue that an automatic folding knife has a safety lock, but once the blade is out, it’s out. Strictly speaking, there is no ‘on and off’ button with a knife. Pull out your knife only when you’re in a position to lethally strike your opponent. ![]() Tip: Don’t give your opponent that chance. Once a skilled opponent has seen you pull out your survival knife, the first thing he does is study the length and build of the stainless steel. If you intend to use it simply to scare an opponent, you are an idiot. There is no other way to use a knife in a fight than to strike with fierce lethality. Once you’ve become involved in an altercation that has caused you to expose your knife, you need to remember that you are holding a lethal weapon.
