Yeah I was pretty much thinking mostly the same things as you guys. Basically get off line, control the weapon, strike to distract him (eyes, throat, or groin), and then some kind of take down/arm bar, then run.
I think the best knife technique I've seen was in a Military manual, which basically just said grab their arm, get them in an arm bar, and put all you body weight and effort on that arm untill they are flat on they stomach. It requires a little more distance than in this vid but it's incredibly simple and can be easily modded for versatility.
I just got an idea to drill this!
Allright, so the first thing you teach is to get off line. So you give each pair a short pool noodle or a traning knife and have one person go full force with the thrusts, and have the defenadant move offline. After they get this concept you need to teach them to control the weapon. So you have them step off line and grab. Then you have them grab and react with a strike. And finally you have the attacker go all out and have them grab, react, and take down (arm bar type takedowns only).
If you wanted to make it a little more difficult for the more advanced students, you can have the attacker put the knife in the other hand, give the attacker two knives, or have two knife armed attackers that alternate attacking.
