Knife Self Defense Is Mostly Useless

Most of the knife defense that is taught is unlikely to actually work.

Here is an example of black belts doing tests against knife atacker and out over 20 rounds (just 20 seconds a round), there is only a single round where non-fatal wounds are present.

My opinion on self defense tactics against a knife attacker for an average person that could work:

  • Run away.
    • Can't run away: "here is my wallet and my cell phone, good sir"
  • You have a carry license and you have been well trained with your firearm.
