Aikido has no reason to prove itself!

Most of that was actually covered in the video.

As for the last point, it's unlikely an attacker is holding as hard as he can at most times (perhaps during an actual stab, especially if they have training/experience), simply because it's an unnatural way to hold. If they are at distance like this, they probably aren't gripping as tight as he was.

have you ever yourself been in a real situation against a knife?

 

[Urban Trekker]

A surprise sewing machine style knife attack is my worst nightmare. I've not seen much of anything short of wearing ring mail or something that would stop the first couple of stabs.

Ah yes, getting shanked in prison. Doesn't matter how badass you are, anybody can get it.

speaking from experience Urban Trekker?
are U Badass ? Please tell us your stories.
This is not a wind up post i am assuming you are an expert?

 

[caped crusader]

It works:

But my personal opinion is that it is better to control hand with the knife.
But everything can happened in the fight.

this sort of rubbish on youtube and tought in so called dojos gets people killed. Kicking a knife out of a hand...first of all a knife can move fast and even a slight change of angle can cause you a bad situation.
My suggestion carry a telescopic baton. A compact model.

As long as you are in prison, I guess.

Take off your symbiote suite there, Venom. You're one person.

Oh, and look at this quote here:

I'm sure you're going tell everyone about YOUR experience with defending against knife attacks, right?

An unskilled crazy person tried to stick me with a pair of sewing shears once. I survived unscathed.

No not at all but yeah i have certainly more experience than you kid.

The fact that you're saying this to random strangers on the internet that you know absolutely nothing about indicates otherwise. But you go on with your bad self!

Yeah, not much you can do if you don't see it coming.

Nope. Hopefully never will.

You didn't really watch the video, did you?

to be fair i skimmed through it. It´s all the same BS. either pro or critical about some self defence stuff which is just nonsense.

the fact that you said i have fights non stop to a random stranger is beyond me..listen i am not on here to discuss stuff which will upset a few wanna be Dojo kings here.

I skimmed through your posts. Looks like you have no idea about self defence

no problem. teach us your know how and real life experiences. I am sure we can all learn an benefit from it. What is your take on the video? what would you do?

Actually, it makes the points you assume it doesn't.
