Best Way To Use A Knife | Don't Believe The Hype

Try that against some knife fighters from philpines. It will not work bro

Being a 74 year old Vietnam Vet I always carry two knives ... My first strike would be pepper spray ... First move, knife as decoy ... First strike, pepper spray ... Second strike knife ... Last resort, frag ...

Thanks. Question: Have you been in any knife fights?

True words

It’s an effin’ travesty that the legal outcome now depends on the ethnicities involved. The outcome is already decided in the society we are now in.

Very good awesome technique I am just starting out with the knife fighting training which I am currently practicing at home basics striving too get too the next level in my training.. and I also can't help but want too practice daily with that being said Good stuff and looking forward too some more lessons thanks

Please remember there are no defense against the knife techniques. The only real knife system is The Piper Knife System

Love this! You really have a great teaching ability. When we've trained to knife fight, it was always "First, run like hell away from the knife. Second, the loser dies in the alley and the winner dies in the ambulance because the frightening thing about fighting for your life with a blade, is that failure is death."

That's a phillipino knife fight technique i recognize the slashing motions you were making. You're the only one out of 3 or 4 videos now that's actually legit. The others were all bullshido garbage that was completely unrealistic in actual knife fights

why is there no horizontal slash?

Cuts arent as deadly as pokes

Neck beard community ☺️

believe me in 10 seconds this guy will die using his method. boxing is straight line focus ,most filipino figthers good at angles ..thrust can kill him when he box stab he can die go right slash then twist the knife then thrust if he hold got cut ... his teaching is good for gangster only know how to stab knife then you can apply hold or box type but if your talking about warriors better counter offense or run .lol filipino martial arts is proven we have been in war for 300 years until now so it almost 400 yrs coz till now mindanao still a trouble land warriors holding knifes or swords common especially muslim area ...i my self got 12 knife fights 3 of my brothers got beheaded i got hospitalized 3 times promise me holding is a bad idea especially if the one holding a knife is for combatant ....

😂😂

FMA........pikal knife style the best in real self defense

Cool Deathstroke shirt

You re gonna kill people this way

Good video. excellent points.

Hey this is useful!!!

Thank you! Well explained and as you state...No B.S.. I'm retired and partially disabled. Your basics are very similar slashing movement as my Laido practice with a KoKtana where 'small steps' and striking stance are different to keep good balance-- for the most part. My basic boxing lessons as a boy have been very useful and now I have added a knife as a last resort. Things Everywhere are getting more dangerous every day!. I will watch more and encourage others, especially women and older men like myself. Again. Thanks!.

No offense but I’ve found that your theory doesn’t work against a trained FMA guy. I teach FMA in a boxing/kickboxing gym twice a week. I knife spar with boxing guys all the time (including one of the boxing coaches who’s actually brave enough to actually knife spar) and when they start that boxing style they get torn apart every time. I’ve noticed they naturally start to adapt to a more FMA style or they keep getting killed. Those that don’t adapt eventually stop knife sparring. No one likes to keep getting killed.

How bright!

Ice pick grip shortens your reach and takes away from your ability to manipulate the weapon. It also takes away the thrust which is much more likely to hit vital organs and stop a person than a slash will.

In Federal prison there a lot of knife fighting going on .

Arnis practicioner here, I totally agree with you

As soon as I saw the topic I immediately just thought "Make as many cuts as possible and walk away." Lol

Thanks for this view! Dealing w/ knives is scary 😧 always carry two daggers, southern Chinese/ Kali trained 😅

No knife fights, someone could die. Please go the other way

This reminds me of every movie where the guy with a knife gets disarmed

Have you ever faced a situation where someone pulled a k nife on you with the intent to harm you? Have you ever used your knife in a real life situation for defense or assault?

Pardon me? A dirty southpaw?

How many people are viewing this video for creative writing purposes to visualize knife fighting and write it out? Or is it just me?

hmmmm sorry man not on board with you on this..

I don't care how badass you think you are, if someone comes at you with a knife, run away if you can. You'll probably get cut every time even if the other asshole doesn't know how to knife fight and you've been practicing it for years. It's not worth the risk. At close range, I'd rather face a guy with a pistol than one with a knife every time.

I’ve been in several fights where someone had a knife, another one when they had nunchucks and yet one other time when we both had fully loaded M16s strapped to us. One thing I know, which has been said before, know you will get cut and likely stabbed. The other thing I found, people NEVER let go of their weapons! Never!! They hold on to it like their lives depend on it…as they should. I’ve also seen people shot, stabbed, hit with bats etc, it is never nice, or pretty, there is no dramatic music playing, no praise for a hero…

I'm always pissed off so I subscribed

Go watch real life videos of law enforcement, with guns, still get stabbed by a guy with a knife. If you bring a knife to a gun fight, you can still win.

Read Fairbairn Sykes gutter fighting knife and club. NOTHING else is worth listening to. Just two guys bleeding to death when you're done.....😂

The winner of a knife fight dies in an ambulance. The loser dies in the street.
A reverse grip is also the easiest way to die from attempting to strike with your own blade. Spar some military guys. They'll show you how deadly easy it is to deal with a reverse grip.

Oh look! Another BS "defense" or "fighting" video that features some clown in his gym shorts dancing around in front of a punching bag. I wish I could see just ONE single self defense instructional that actually depicts a person walking in their street clothes and then drawing and deploying their defense tool against a realistic rapid forward moving aggressor.

Ok kinda like that ending 🔪

Great video! Subbed

I been in a few street fights. They get dirty. main points to share:

1) with knives, cuts hurt later. it's the stabs that kill you and they come in quick. prioritize control of the weapon. some other notes: smaller the exposed blade, the more likely it is to be sharp as shit. just my exp. also, stabs sound crunchy, if you hear a loud popping noise coming from inside your body, you're fucked. Do about it whatever you want, my advice is to get even.

2) keep your weapon in the back arm, use your free hand to keep distance and parry. otherwise you might lose your weapon. the only thing that I can think of that breaks this rule is a sword because they're sharp the whole way up and long enough to keep people away from you.

3) grab anything you can around you to level the field. don't play, if you bring it, use it.
[p.s. anything long and light is best used by stabbing at the other guy, swinging a broom gets you put in the dark quick, jabbing with it can break ribs, teeth, and burst eyes in their sockets.]

4) if they got something heavy, close the gap. choose bruises not breaks.

5) straight up *don't*, but if you have to go to ground: find soft ground. two points on this:
A) you get dropped onto hard ground, you'll crumple like an empty beer can. Also the pebbles and glass will never get out of your skin if you're smushed against asphalt which is a great way to get hepatitis.
B) you never really know if your attacker is alone and if your on the ground with multiple guys on top of you, 1: you're dead. 2: try to take one down there with you so they have to resort to bitch kicks until you get put in the ambulance. if you can't make that happen then 1: you're dead.

6) If you're rolling with someone for whatever reason, keep your fists closed. a loose finger in a real scrap is liable to get bent out of socket and that'll take your whole play apart like a stray thread on a shit sweater.

This guy has never been hit...😂😂😂

People need to learn the difference between self defense and cage! In self defense you don’t get to strut around like a boxer and fights don’t start like walker Texas ranger in a stare down and space is a problem! But here is a guy that thinks taichi is only breathing exercises when it started as combat for farmers to fend off bandits!

I am a weapons trainer with 20 years of experience, and I also focus on "real world" techniques. I have a few neck bearded things for your consideration:
1) The boxing style of knife fighting is popular in American military. The reason is not combat effectiveness- it's because you will be effective with very little training.
2) The most common injury to the assailant holding the knife occurs after they have cut/pierced their victim. Blood causes the grip to be slippery. Now, when force is applied, the assailants hand can easily slip onto the blade.
3) The down side (no pun intended) to the boxing style is that you are giving up the length of the blade in reach. It is what it is.
4) Yes, jab/control with your forward hand. Save stabs,slashes, and hand clearing for the rear hand.
5) No... training with a weapon will certainly improve your effectiveness with that weapon. It's absurd to say otherwise. Stick fighting is not just swinging a stick.
