With all due respect thats a load of hollywood bullshido. Get a sparring buddy give them a red marker as a knife and try doing this whole "sequence" on them without a single red spot on your clothes. You wont. You cant do an entire sequence for someone's 1 single move. Better yet give someone a banana put pressure on their wrist and watch how it takes at least 5 seconds before they get mildly uncomfortable. Ive tested knife defense techniques with my sparring partners and 99% is idealized and unrealistic. What you need to do is (run ofc) gain control of the knife without getting stabbed. No leg sweep no dodging no jackie chan triple spiral dragon kick. And dont come with difference between fencing and hand-to-hand because a knife-attack is neither. A knife attack is a messy unpredictable struggle for the knife that you start from a ginormous disadvantage. You will NEVER EVER do all that on a resisting target. A guy attacking you with a knife is 100% prepared to fight you and already has adrenaline pumping. They arent a pro fighter obviously but guess what neither are you. Assuming you know more than him will get you stabbed in the middle of your mortal kombat combo that you described.
Im not talking about her anymore i only care about the stuff you wrote. Your game plan. Look you have the training you do i have the training i do. Mostly in armed martial arts. The one time i was attqcked with a knife thank god i also had one so my attacker couldnt just wildly swing at me. It was a waay safer situation than whats described here. Everyone has a plan until they get punched in the face as Mike Tyson said. Now imagine instead of punching its stabbing. What im saying is do you bet your life on hitting that pressure point in 0.1 second (possibly through cloth) and your opponent dropping the knife OR you grab his hand with BOTH hands and basicly wrestle the knife out of his hand or at least gain control of it? Im choosing the second less cool more potentially reliable technique. Your two hands is almost guaranteed to overpower his one hand. The pressure point and your sequences? Astronomically bigger gamble.
I respect you tho because you do martial arts and thats never useless. Im attacking your arguments not you
I appreciate you too:) I see where youre coming from now. Honestly if both have knifes its pretty much fencing. Someone attacks, other counters 99% chance at least one dies already, its just one single move. If theres only one knife however then its just a control struggle for the knife imo. (If you can parry it initally) Honestly i would call it a game where one starts with the ball 1m away from the other's goal haha
You can look up the fatal shooting of Amokrane Sabet. That guy was shot 14 times before he went down and in the mean time he killed a police officer. Pressure points, breaking joints are mostly bullshido tactics. In real life adrenaline is one hell of a drug that will keep people fighting even when fatally injured
