I didn't want to say anything because I didnt have any feelings about the clip worth mentioning when I saw it.
I hear what Dcohen and especially Bamboo is saying with that last post but if people dont have any respect for the success rate of any art that works with knives I dont see that clip educating people about its effectiveness because they will automatically think you are "faking/not trying" as Bamboo said.
The thing is, how do you get across to people that it can work? I dont know if Systema is or is not effective because Ive never had any experience of it firsthand but many MA's Ive come across seem to think knifework is pointless because they are resigned to the fact that 'you WILL get cut in a real situation' - They would just run away.
Why is it that with more and more thugs carrying weapons nowadays (Gov. figures proven fact, in England), more and more MA's reject knifework training?
