How do you defend against this? (Knife Attack)

[Cyriacus]

A penetrating eye injury would be incredibly painful if your eyeball is punctured or compressed so much it bursts.

Do you have any idea how difficult that would be? Displacement is far more likely.

And probably still more painful than just a poke in the eye..

Psst, I think you're preaching to the choir. RTKDCMB was just agreeing on that point a few posts ago...

Alot of suggestions and ideas on dealing with the scenario in the op. If I was in that situation my main focus would be on tAking the guy out, making him on functional over blocking he knife. I would implement a down block but mainly I would step through him with my fore arm aimed at his upper chest to slide into his throat, stepping through im so his incoming momentum would add to my weight pushing through his throat with my whole body, not a jab,
taking him to the ground, stomping his throat again and then getting out of there.
