Most recently I wrote an article explaining a brutal knife attack a friend
of mine had suffered. He was attacked from behind and it was
fast, furious.bloody and brutal. http://kogaryuninjutsuint.blogspot.com/2016/01/the-too-real-reality-of-knife-attack.html He was stabbed and cut 14 times, was in a
coma and had more stitches in him than I wanted to count. The article elicited a
lot of comments and remarks some had great advice others not so much. Personally
and being someone that practices combat training with the knife, the outcome is
never good for the victim from a determined attacker.
In this case my friend was attacked from behind and I know
hindsight is 20/20 and every “internet master knife fighter” and his brother has
an opinion, but I cant emphasize enough to
be aware of your surroundings always. If possible leave quickly or try to arm
yourself with a weapon that'll keep distance between you and your assailant
(bo/mop,shovel,broom etc) and definitely keep moving. I keep
in my mind the 21 foot rule regarding drawing my handgun, and if its imminent
just be mindful of your vital areas because you're gonna get cut, stabbed or
both.
From my experience almost all knife attackers use short,
quick stabbing and slashing motions and not big movements, making most of the
knife disarm techniques taught by martial artists useless.... So, instead of
talking about a lot of crap concerning so-called unarmed "knife" defenses, I want to look at reversing the roles.
Instead of looking at it from the defender’s point of view
let’s assume the "role" of the attacker. The mind set and the weapon
of choice. The attackers choice of weapon…a knife. A knife is up close and personal, ferocious
and brutal. You have to close on your victim and physically, violently and with
extreme prejudice stab,slash, and hack him to bits. A knife is about as
personal, ruthless brutal and deadly as it gets. It's not like a gun, which
which has an element of detachment.
We are still assuming the role of the attacker so your
attack will be a frenzy of hate,rage and murderous intent. You more than likely
aren’t going to fake a move or feint with your knife, you aren’t sparring with your
blade, you damn sure wont be "half-stepping" with your knife.
You are going to attack with mindless brutal
and ruthless rage and do ANY and EVERYTHING that will finish your victim off in
as ferocious a manner as inhumanly possible. Murderous intent, rage, hate and adrenaline are fueling you to an almost superhuman state of frenzied violence. Even when your man goes down you still keep
stabbing and slashing away. In the case of my friend a bystander who was a legal
firearms carrier pulled a gun on the
attacker. Only then was the attacker stopped.
FACE THE FACTS!!! This is what REALLY happens when one human
being uses a knife on another. Too many are playing knife gymnastics without
really realizing what an knife wielding assailant has in store for them. It
isn’t going to be pretty! Are you REALLY preparing to DEAL with something like
this?
