Another excellent video by Dr. Yang Jwing-Ming and YMAA. Good techniques; however, you still need to have lots of practice to be good at defending against a knife. Read more

Well done... Done in a very progressive manner, building a good basic foundation with simple drills, then moves into different options and angles. No fancy movie type moves, just realistic, simple knife defense! Good format and progression, only flaw is at some points drills dragg on a bit longer than needed... Read more

nice DVD, but I would't trust without a lot - and i really mean a lot of training Read more

While watching this DVD, I noticed that there was good advice about taking the proper angles, clearing the distance, and controlling the weapon by controlling the man, keeping good distance from your body and the knife, by utilizing a 45 degree angle. This knowledge is critical for a proper defense, the more familiar you are with getting into tricky positions, the harder it will be for your enemy cause harm to you. Clearing a distance with a stick also will trump the man with the short blade, and attacking the hands are a few little tricks to the trade, exposed in this DVD. However, If you are a person who has not spent countless hours in a Dojo or with a training partner somewhere catching training knives, then I would not take this DVD beyond instruction for training, and in the mean time, run away if someone pulls a knife on you, This DVD is not designed, and thankfully so to be a confidence booster. If I could give any person advice about defending themselves when it comes to a blade, I would tell them to run, get in the public eye, call for help, ask for help, and if you cannot do this, now it is time to take all those hours of training dedication to your personal protection to work. Keep in mind if you try to take a knife from a person with full intention of cutting you, it is not a matter of getting cut, it is a matter of where and how bad, what is most important is your survival and raising the odds of it. I recommend this DVD to people who already have knowledge of self defense. I am sure the good Dr. Ming would agree with me, that watching this DVD a couple of times and spending a hour or two on the techniques shown is not enough to take a unarmed person and place him up against a blade armed attacker, but it is better then not having exposed yourself to the idea's of getting out of the way. As for the inexperienced, i would recommend this video to be watched with a friend and practice one or two techniques at a time together, practice static, practice initial strike, then practice living movement, you will be amazed I am sure with the results.
