Knife Defense techniques has been around since the early centuries. With the use of firearms for self defense, defending against a knife has taken a back seat.

However, in some countries like the United Kingdom their stats of knife attacks happens every 4 seconds back in 2008 (dailymail.co.uk) this is more knife attacks per capita than U.S. gun attacks at the time.

Regardless, knife attacks do exist and here we will introduce functional knife defense that was design to be taught to the mass, learned in a few minutes, but needs to be honed. The more you practice the better you get.

There are many cases where a knife attack occurs, it can be from a distance (21 feet) where they come running madly at you with a blood curling cry. Or, you're in a fist fight and the next you know you feel sharp pains on your body or arms.

Yes, there are many self defense system out in the market. Take a look at this fella Sal Mascoli a USMC veteran explaining his way of handling a knife attack. Check out the full footage on self defense against a knife attack here. How about you all come across any good self defense system?

There is always a defense, but you’re going to get cut, and you are correct, if its an attack you’ll be cut a few times before you realize it, and then begin to go into shock. The poster above that said something about an X block with your arms.... Don’t do that.
