And bringing a gun to a knife fight is certainly no guarantee you go home without taking real damage . . . but it helps.eiaftinfohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13595068743383767561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2031819490572301756.post-16356142361536470942012-06-07T10:43:12.922-05:002012-06-07T10:43:12.922-05:00Yep.

Surely he knows for certain! The Steven Segal stuff looks flashy, but in the really real world it isn't going to work so well against someone with a knife. There's a video floating around of a knife wielding guy in South America somewhere who kills and maims about half a dozen armed police officers in about five seconds with a kitchen knife. Stuff happens fast!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02544360303504618447noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2031819490572301756.post-13308585886920660262012-06-07T09:22:03.857-05:002012-06-07T09:22:03.857-05:00With regards to getting into a knife fight: my sen...With regards to getting into a knife fight: my sensei is a trained knife fighter (I don't take weapons classes from him though, just Judo). He gave me some advice once. He said that if you ever get into to hand to hand combat with an opponent armed with a knife, you are gonna get cut. You will bleed. Period. The only real question is if you are gonna die.Broken Andyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01562569871940946226noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2031819490572301756.post-50591576808322400742012-06-03T12:46:05.806-05:002012-06-03T12:46:05.806-05:00AGirl - honestly, you've provided me with a ch...AGirl - honestly, you've provided me with a chuckle or two as well. Glad I could return the favor and thanks for the kind words.<br /><br />RabidAlien - the thought of doing violence is so foreign to most, it takes some "ponder time". Remember, visualization can be almost as valuable as range / training time. Visualize a situation and you responding agressively and winning. It can break down some walls and make you a more effective warrior.<br /><br />NFO - thanks for the kind words as well. Ah, the "will" - well said. I still see Jack's face as he pulled his knuckle from my mouth - too funny looking back over 50 years! I spend lots of time with my kids and grandkids making sure they are made of stronger stuff - I think it's time well spent.eiaftinfohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13595068743383767561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2031819490572301756.post-10752773953788965712012-06-03T10:40:55.519-05:002012-06-03T10:40:55.519-05:00Excellent post and ALL excellent points!

I can remember busting a guy's knuckle with my tooth too...
