Simple question, simple answers.
Most martial arts refuse to deal with the reality of knife defense because they all see the same solution: Fight your way out of it. And that solution has virtually no success rate.
The guy has a KNIFE for christ's sake! How the hell can you fight him and expect to come out the winner, or even alive?
That's why you don't fight him. Do you run? The reality is that sometimes you don't have time to. Sometimes shit just happens, you see a knife coming at you and you can either sit there and watch your internal organs get cut to bits, or you can do something about it.
If you do it right. If you've trained enough. If you've trained CORRECTLY. You won't fight the guy, yet he'll find himself unconscious and on the ground. Nothing magical there, just the simple concept of not resisting. If the guy never knows that there's resistance, he won't adjust his actions to meet that resistance.
So are you resisting? Yes.
But the key is that he does NOT KNOW that you are resisting. Either that or you've tricked him into not knowing.
It's really something you need to experience to understand.
Suddenly sharp objects coming at you look like fun.  |
