There are many ways to defend yourself from an attacker using a knife. These include avoiding the threat, maintaining distance, using two-handed control, and keeping things simple. These methods can lead to severe injuries, or even death. Unarmed techniques can be the best way to defend yourself against a knife-wielding attacker.
The threat can be avoided
The concept of avoidance is key to self defense against knife attack. While running away from a knife threat may seem like the easiest solution, running away is not always possible in real life. Running away can be difficult as many spaces are small and filled full of obstacles. Furthermore, an attacker may be faster than you are, so it is important to prepare yourself with various techniques.
Avoiding the threat of a knife attack is the best defensive strategy. This strategy means trying to get as far away as possible and control the attacker's arm or knife before your attacker is able to cut you. You should also avoid wrestling your attacker. This can lead to injuries and cuts.
Distance
It is important to avoid being stabbed with a knife. This will leave you with more space and allow for your response to be quicker. Another option is to use objects as barriers. These can be anything from cars and trees to mailboxes and pieces of furniture. These items will prevent attackers from using your space for attacks.
A male who is well trained and between 18 and32 years old can run a distance of seven to 10 yards in just 2 seconds. It takes less than a second for a professional to cover the same distance.
Controlling in two-handed mode
To take control of an attacker with a knife, grab the attacker's arm using both your hands and strike. You can also strike the attacker in the face to put him on defense. You can also use other techniques to gain two-handed command, but the Pekiti Tirsia knife tapping drill is the best.
Keep away from the attacker to be safe against a knife attack. This will give you more time and space to react to the situation. You can also create distance between your attacker and you by using objects. It is possible to use objects, such as cars and mailboxes, or furniture, to buy your time.
Simpler things
You need to be simple in order to defend yourself against knife attack. Controlling your immediate environment, time and space is crucial for self defense against knife attacks. The more space available, the more options you will have to respond to a situation. The smaller the area, the fewer options available and the longer you have to resolve your problem.
You can practice with different training knives or improvised guns. This will help you develop your skills without relying on memorizing skills. In most situations, you will use your reflexes and instincts to react quickly. You should also use knives that you feel comfortable with.
