Are any of you familiar with "happyo no kuzushi" (forgive me if I have romanized this incorrectly). My sensei has gone over it with us the last couple weeks and it seems applicable to this discussion.
Happyo no kuzushi are 8 moves, designed by Sosai, and taught in the old days of Oyama Dojo to defend against an attacker and sometimes multiple attackers. Several of the moves can be applied to an attacker with a knife. Not well documented, these moves were taught to my sensei directly from Shihan Bobby Lowe.
Anyone heard of happyo no kuzushi and what do you think of their effectiveness?
