 re: New Video Clip
As to the reality of what's happening...I'm trying to get him as sneakily and determinedly as I possibly can. I actually stabbed the training knife through his shirt once as he was getting out of the way...if that dull metal tip can make it through a heavy sweatshirt, you can bet your ass I would have gone through his skin and into him as if it were a real knife, had he not gotten out of the way.
I know what it takes to put a knife through someone's outer layers and into them, and in every demo we do, I am trying to kill him with real intent, power, and attacks which are as authentic as they get without a real knife. I trust my training partners to get out of the way, just as they trust themselves to - but if they don't, then both our loss, the knife is going where I'm putting it, whether they like it or not.
Don't have to say much more on "reality."
