Unarmed Knife Defense... NOPE.

A good reminder that seems to make sense theoretically may fall apart under enough pressure...

The video I'm responding to:
"6 Martial Arts Experts Locked with a Knife Attacker!" by Martial Arts Journey
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t69XMB-PINM

Self-defense is serious, yet it often seems downplayed and underestimated. Especially when it comes to defending yourself unarmed against an attacker armed with a knife (or other weapon). It's a huge disadvantage, and what can you do to deter a reckless, aggressive rush when all you can threaten to retaliate with are your hands and feet?

Kudos to Rokas Leo, Jeff Chan, Icy Mike, Sensei Seth, Ramsey Dewey, and Matt Clinton for stepping up and taking this difficult challenge. It's an insightful reality-check for sure.

The video I made about medieval sources on self-defense against a dagger (mind the disclaimer):
