I trained in Filipino martial arts for over 12 years and this included stickfighting as well as knife fighting. I learned a lot. I gained a lot of confidence in my ability to handle things empty handed, with a stick, and with a knife. So – let me tell you what I will do if I somehow come across someone threatening me with a knife:
I will run faster than Joe Biden getting ready to sniff some little girl’s hair!!!
Knife fighting is no joke and forget everything you’ve seen in the movies where the “hero” takes the belt out of his pants and is able to entangle the opponent’s knife, disarms him, and then beats him to a bloody pulp. In real life, the “hero” ends up spilling liters of blood on the ground. His own blood.
No – the golden rule of knife fighting is to bring a gun to the knife fight. Period.
My 2 cents.
