Great episode. I try to catch this show when I can, I always learning something new. During this segment about the punch and cut technique, the hosts mentioned previous episodes about basic knife self-defense techniques. Something about the quadricep muscle and a “comma” cut to the leg. Does anyone know where I can find the older seasons of Best Defense?
IF ANY OF YOU WATCH THIS VIDEO ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS GRAB ONTO THE ARM THAT HAS A KNIFE,JUST CUTTING SOMEONE MAY NOT WORK WITH ADRENALINE GOING THEY MAY NOT EVEN KNOW THEY ARE CUT,THEY MAY BE ON DRUGS ETC,THEIR ATTACKING YOU AND ARE INTENT ON DOING YOU HARM TO GET YOUR CAR ETC.
ALWAYS GRAB ONTO AND SECURE THE ARM THAT HAS THE WEAPON IF YOU DON’T BELIEVE ME TRY JUST BLOCKING ON ME AND YOU WILL BE CUT AND STABBED REAL BAD,IF YOUR GOING TO MAKE A VIDEO PLEASE TEST OUT YOUR THEORY’S AT LEAST WITH SOME PRACTICE WITH MARKING BLADES OR MARKERS OR SOMETHING I’M SICK OF SEEING PEOPLE GO THROUGH THIS PRE ARRAINGED DANCE WHERE THE BAD GUY JUST STANDS THERE AS YOU DO A PARRY OR BLOCK AND DON’T SECURE THE ARM THAT HAS A WEAPON PLEASE TEST YOUR THEORY’S BEFORE YOU MAKE A DUMB VIDEO THAT WILL GET PEOPLE HURT,AND BEFORE YOU RESPOND REALIZE THAT YOU ARE VERY WRONG!!!
AND NOT LIKELY YOU WILL BLOCK AND ATTACK ANYWAY YOU CAN’T REACT QUICKER THAN SOMEONE CAN ACT.
Nat, You don’t have to yell. Janich is a world class knife/martial arts instructor. You go ahead and try to grab the hand/arm of a person with an edged weapon. Let us know how that works for you.
