I'd prefer to handle a fighter with a knife, because I know he'll have some sort of style or method. A thoughtful approach, ergo predictable.
Crackhead? Yeah... good luck figuring out his attack plan.

So I should spend hours each day getting cauliflower ears and sprained joints gaining high level sport fighting skill on the chance I might have to fight off a crackhead mugger someday?

Thoughtful? Have you ever seen a real knife attack?
The most thoughtful it's going to be is how he can have the blade and stick you with it before you even know he has it.

BTW, I carry a Spyderco all the time, sometimes wear a neckknife and carry a 9mm.

A lot of folks I know are actually jumping on the conceal carry bandwagon...
Knife, meet gun...

Yeah, I read it. What type of thoughtful attack plan do you think he's going to have? And what makes you think some crack or meth head isn't going to be using a weapon against you?

No, no you didn't...

That and the Castle Doctrine law here in Florida is making criminal violence against the general public extremely difficult.

Basic Chin Na I learned in Kenpo over 30 years ago. This guy had 3 months Aikido.

That's what regular people can expect. There are quite a few examples out there of people with little to no skill defending themselves. Certainly don't need to be a UFC champ to be successful.

Yep here's what you said. Clear as day.
"I'd prefer to handle a fighter with a knife, because I know he'll have some sort of style or method. A thoughtful approach, ergo predictable.

Looks like you think a fighter with a knife is easier to handle that a crackhead.

You'll get no argument from me on that one. He focused on the weapon, grabbed it and took it away. That's exactly what he should have done. Notice there was no submission or attempted break, simply a manipulation of the weapon hand and taking the weapon away. Trying to finish that move into a submission/break with or without a weapon and he'd be dead or messed up.
I never said you need to have UFC level skills to be successful. What I said was attempting standing submission rarely works.

Yeah... a trained fighter is predictable. VERY predictable.

So you'd rather fight a trained fighter with a blade rather than an unarmed crack head.
OK, good luck with that one.
