MUAY THAI !.

Attackers always seem to lead with the blade, hanging it out front as an intimidation tactic. It's what they saw in the movies. Then the defender can more easily access and control the weapon arm, which is what he's focusing all his attention on doing. My understanding is that you should keep the weapon back, tucked at your side, use your free hand to create an opening, same as the boxing jab opens the door for the cross. When you go in you stay in and perforate repeatedly. You don't expose the weapon prior to committing to its use so the guy can disarm you.

Best defense against knife attack: Run.

[Deacon Jeschin]

I remember being taught to use your jacket to trap (or absorb) the knife while being confronted.

Also...if you're in a knife fight, expect to get cut.  Sounds stupid, but once people bleed, some tend to get distracted and hold the wound, making them susceptible to further damage.

Yes, very good.  When street fighting the average idiot, you'll definitely get an opening.  Just don't get knocked out first.  I carry a concealed knife always, even in the gym.

Chewing gum sized retractable box cutter for the win.

They never even knew what hit them.

Yeah, in police circles this type of thing is called the "prison sewing machine" or "sewing machine knife attack". The attacker gets close in, then uses the non-dominant hand to push off, punch, or grab, then follows up with just rapid short range stabs to whatever's open.

I got my info from a book I read in my misspent teenage years. Knife Fighting Lessons From Folsom Prison, or something like that. Good info but it could have been one brief paragraph long. Keep your weapon hand cocked and inaccessible. Jab or grab. Feint, feint, go.

Not that I have any illusions that a book I read 30 years ago would serve me better than running away, but I've noticed ever since that everyone, movies or real life, waves their weapon around out in front, just begging the other guy to take it away or control the arm. And none of the disarms seem to discuss what to do if an attacker isn't presenting his weapon arm to you.

If someone wants to stab you you wont even see the knife, if someone shows you a knife its for intimidation purposes, just walk /run away.

I read the same book when I was a kid too, Put'em Down, Take'em Out, Knife Fighting Techniques From Folsom Prison - https://archive.org/details/pdfy-Q7Kv7FhWha9UCuZY/mode/2up .

The guy who wrote it was connected somehow to the A-ryan Brotherhood, and tried to get into police training afterward, but it fizzled out. From what I heard his advice was just along the lines of "I wade in, stab a lot, then I bandage myself up, and wait for the law and the medics." He didn't quite get that most wanted defensive measures also.

Just to make this bodybuilding related, there was another knife fighting book called "Prison's Bloody Iron" ( https://archive.org/details/PrisonsBloodyIronDeadlyKnifeFightingTacticsRevealedHaroldJenksAndMichaelBrown ) that was written with a prolific bodybuilding author of the 70's and 80's named Michael / Mike Brown.

Brown was an odd author because he'd write about bodybuilding, then try to interest people in other stuff like gasless motors, honey production, "Iron Claws" (a kung fu grip manual), and a shitload of Bible based weightlifting books - "Sex, Money and Power - The Bible Shows You How", "The Strength of Samson", and a Bible based Bench Pressing book that I forget the name of.

It may seem an odd topic, but there were a bunch of other guys also trying to mix Bible teachings with bodybuilding also around the same time, late 60's - early 80's. Most of it was Bible based nutrition, Bible based strength training, and how to manage your bodybuilding sex life, vanity, etc.... along with your religion. Ironman magazine was a treasure trove of that type of stuff, I think because Peary Rader was a good, God fearing mid westerner, and the mag always needed help to keep afloat .

I do wish I got to see a finished copy of that Bible based benching book.

Just stay out of certain (many) regions in the US; Uk and Sweden

I would just use this defense:

Note to Libturd ANTIFA retards. Never bring a knife to a gun fight.
