    Hormat,

    My teachers always said, and I agree, when fighting a knive get prepared to get cut. In the best situation and depending on the type of knive superficial but still. So in principle I'd rather run, only hope my physical condition will outlast the attacker. If I couldn't run, well lets hope and pray and throw at him what I've got (if needed literally)

    One thing I do would like to add in regard to teachers who I know that teach knive defense. Some of them teach applications with blocks and then a second action instead of immediately trying to seizing the arm (pulse or elbow) which holds the knive. This to me seems very stupid since any experienced knive fighter would never use his knive in a one motion manner. More like jab forward and slash backward so two motion manner. Blocking surely will surely make any wound more than superficial :woo: .
