Greetings,

The Filippine MAs are well-known to be
effective against armed opponents,
especially those with bladed weapons
such as knives.

Now, it's also well-known that Chinese
internal arts are effective in self-defense
and unarmed combat. But what about knives
and fighting against armed opponents?

My question is, how do you people,
practising an internal art, train to defend
yourselves against a blade? Are you using
methods from Filippine or MAs from other
countries/cultures? Or do you think that
the methods/techniques within your own
system are good enough? If so, what style
do you practise and what methods do you
use?

Regards,
Mark (yes, Wai is my Chinese name)
