Well......
That clip wasn't freestyle knife work. It was Dave picking any position he wants with a knife to any of Arthur's finer vital points. From there Arthur improvises a way to get out of it and cause Dave some serious injury.
Given that, Dave's the one resisting. It's 2 totally different things, trying to resist a punch/kick and trying to resist falling on your ass. Dave is trying to resist falling on his ass. Notice how he constantly tries to change his weight around, tries to step forward/back? Hell he resists to his fullest capacities. If you're worried about why he isn't stabbing in the process, try this fun and helpful drill:
1) Put knife in right hand
2) Put right arm in a vice
3) Fall on your ass
4) Try to stab the nearest person
Isn't as easy as it seems, eh?
