Recently, Toby C recommended an excellent source for street skills and tactics in Mark MacYoung: Please go read there: http://www.nononsenseselfdefense.com/
Mark has much info on knife attacks on his website. In my experience, it is very accurate in how they happen. I also wanted to refer you all to Deane Lawler. He is a very bright mind with a lot of life experience and his stuff on knife attacks is right in line with Mark MacYoung’s. Friends, please give it a watch. This is reality. Be informed so you can take steps to stay safe or survive.

April 8, 2014 at 1:11 am #7632Scarry stuff to be sure. Interested to read what Whirly & Mel have to say. Personally my plan is/will be keeping strangers at a safe distance, hopefully with a hidden flanker armed with a rife.
Of course nothing works like it should.April 8, 2014 at 1:18 am #7633Danie, It is not easy to defend you self. Knifes is something I own. I have loved to collect them for years.
Tolik, your video was also great. I will remember to have my 9mm on hand all the time in a SHTF and not let someone you do not know to get to close to you. A knife hit will put you down.
April 8, 2014 at 1:34 am #7634Remember a normal person can close the distance of 21 feet In one second. Meet strangers with your hand on your gun or drawn.
Selco what say you?April 8, 2014 at 1:51 am #76381974t150v, I know, like I said I have been a knife collector since I was 12 and I love them, can look at one for hours, My wife thinks I am crazy. So I know you better have your gun out. My throw knifes are even faster and when I throw I have three ready.
April 8, 2014 at 2:08 am #7641Lol, Freedom,
I didn’t mean that for you. I figure there will be other people who read this and may not know how far to keep someone away. Most folks cannot draw and fire in 2 seconds (hitting the target). Thats just 44 feet.April 8, 2014 at 9:02 am #7673A LOT of knife defense training (in fact self defense training in general) is fundamentally flawed. For sure check your sources before you adopt a particular style, system, approach!
As Danie says Marc MacYoung is an incredibly good resource to start with
April 8, 2014 at 11:53 am #76751974t150v I hit my targets at about 25 to 30 feet with the throw knifes.
April 8, 2014 at 4:15 pm #7703I would not like to be on the receiving end of a knife.
Even with a gun, it’s not a guarantee that you won’t get stabbed.
I always carry a knife with me, just in case.April 8, 2014 at 4:59 pm #77151974t150v, I know you didn’t mean that for me. I am just having some fun here. I am OK with a knife but I do not know what I would do if someone else pulls a knife on me. I would pull out the 9mm and hope I do it fast.
April 8, 2014 at 5:03 pm #7716Hannah, All I can tell you is shot many times to make sure he is down. Do not shot only once.
April 8, 2014 at 5:10 pm #7718If you have a knife for self defense purposes also make sure it has a really good grip. Since a friend slipped into the blade and cut all his finger tendons while stabbing another guy this lessons in deeply ingrained in my brain. What a mess. Fun fact… both parties involved went to the same hospital and waited in the same room for treatment.
Alea iacta est ("The die has been cast")
April 8, 2014 at 5:11 pm #7719Thanks so much for the advice, freedom. The police (interestingly enough) have given similar advice. I really don’t want to shoot anyone, but I live in the South, full of gangbanger wannabees (shootings everyday increasing in frequency) so if I have to use my weapon, I plan to empty it rather than die or worse.
April 8, 2014 at 5:15 pm #7721Jay, I agree, some pocket knifes do not have a guard between the handle and blade. This can cut your hands up.
