Very true.

A LOT of MAists seriously underestimate knives. Even someone who is untrained but fully committed to using one is extremely dangerous, and generally not so easily disarmed as so many people seem to think.

I'll have to find the video. I'm pretty sure it was Burton Richardson that was demonstrating knife defense and sparring with his students. From what I remember, he gradually made it more dangerous and they gradually were more and more careful. Then he gave them those shock knives and they didn't do much after that. The threat was imminent.

edit: found it.

No certificate but...

All graduates are required to grow a mustache, sport a mullet and wear cut off jean shorts. That is the dress code of a true warrior.

1. Dan Inosanto with a knife will pretty much kill anyone any way he wants, and there is nothing anyone can do about it, period

2. That being said, most people with knives are not Dan Inosanto

3. "grappling" is still the best defense against a knife (STAB, "red zone", die less often, etc etc etc)

4. People selling "anit BJJ" are your worst enemy, RUN AWAY, NOW

In TCMA, you have to learn the offense before you can learn the defense. The interest thing is, if you spend the 1st hour to teach offense, and spend the 2nd hour to teach defense, your students may ask you what will happen if they use what you taught them in the 2nd hour to against what you taught them in the 1st hour? What your answer will be?

Everything have counters. Only ability and experience can decide one way or another. Both require a lot of partner training time and partner testing.

I also did just give a $5 dollar one image seminar on effective anti grappling.

I'll give this "image seminar" for only $4.95.

No wrestling style can deal with this either.

I truly don't know whether it's fair to discuss MA this "general".

3rd hour: offense vs defense
