Oh, you've
actually been stabbed? Well, that changes everything in this discussion! Good for you! You're also probably the only person here who has ever been in a fight. I bet you have a TapouT shirt to prove it. You certainly have the attitude and name calling to back it up. :rolleyes:
Anyway, I live in China. Knives are what people use on the streets here, and I've never seen anyone wrestle a knife attacker to the ground as you suggested but avoided demonstrating in response to my
post #57. Although a few weeks ago outside my home a guy got the sh!t stabbed out of him while trying to hold on and grab the attackers knife hand. The street is still stained from the blood pool.
As for
qinna application against a knife, it's not taking the opponent to the ground to wrestle, and in a
knife attack like this trying some silly
qinna mess will get you killed as well.
In Shaolin,
qinna is only useful in certain positions and is not the goal in a face off, especially against brutal knife attacks like the above. So no, despite your misconception wherever it comes from (performance
taolu?), our street weapon defense is
not in large grappling. It's in principle the same as stand up striking.
