Osu!

I got through seven before abandoning the rest. Of those seven, one was risky, and the other six were dangerous to the point of trying to get oneself hurt.

Knife defense theory is thick on the ground, but effective and realistic training is not.

Osu!

God bless your perseverance Dent - I watched the first two and gave up.

And yours was certainly the wiser choice, Bloke. I wish people would respect the blade... If there's one thing that Hollywood and its offshoots has done, it is to portray violence as both casual, and easy to deal with.

This concept that either the stick, bottle, chain, blade or the firearm (etc) are easily taken from an assailant, or don't cause real damage has bled the international consciousness, and into various MA schools too.

Osu!

I have no perseverance whatsoever - if you guy's say it ain't worth watching I'm not even gonna open them

I still thank you kakatootoshi for taking the time to seek them out and open the debate such an important subject.

Osu!

Yes, KakatoOtoshi often gives us the chance to discuss a variety of subjects, thanks largely to his posting visual material we can all have an opinion about.

Thanks, KakatoOtoshi!

Osu!

only liked one... the rest probably dont work for me (they might for others) the one that might work for me is the one where he gets the knife in the back and twists.. its not an ideal end situation but standing with a knife in the back isnt an ideal starting point either (we must not forget that)

Have watched them now and like most of these things they lack reality because the are not practiced at pace or with aggression from the attacker. If you want to practice / test any self defense move train it at pace and let the attacker be imaginative and respond to your move.

They just made me feel sick. There is no way I would feel safe using any of them, and a couple of them seemed to me to actually exacerbate the danger.

Then again, I can't think of much that would make me feel safe in that situation.

Where is the video of RUNNING AWAY.

We were always taught - run from a knife, charge a gun. Don't know about the charge a gun bit, but run from a knife sounds good to me.

Osu!

I quite like the 'Mary Poppins' defense with an umbrella! Well, they made me laugh anyway

It´s like a lot of the aikido stuff you see, with the attackers throwing themselves around like marionnettes.

Or if I can be forgiven for posting this again:

Love it!

Thats an easy way to make five grand.

Osu!

I'm caught between my own greed of wondering where I can find someone like that, and wondering at the crushing realization that he and all his members must have experienced. No matter what the justifications may have been when they were raised post-fight, I think everyone knows that this system is in the landfill.

My mind is still boggled at a group of adults so taken in by something so fantasy based, that they choose to perpetuate the myth.

Osu!
