You'll have to bypass the news but I've featured Paul before.
Just go to my blog and search for "knife defense".
he straight up contridicks himself ! well thats the way i seen it. saying if u block like this or that its useless because if they move or " pull away " you get cut then he goes on to talk about using a checking hand which is doing the same thing although different technique in hes case a wing chun pak sau or something lol then he comes into the fucking hubar for christ sake. are you telling me tony blauer would practice the hubar when training REAL knife defense ? he carries on saying get a 12 year old with a magic marker dada dada dar saying u carnt use this block or that block then goes on to say when a "number 1 " angle comes in u should " de fang the snake and check with the other hand " WTF ! i totally understand taking out ur enemies knife hand with slashes as they slash but hes trying to employ Wing Chun into knife defense it aint gunna work buddy ! if wing chun worked they wouldnt used it in UFC by now 10 years and still no kung fu. if u can death strike me and block my 3 punch combo then im sure u can be just so kind as to knock me out lol sorry man but hes a doosh
correction WOULDA used it in the UFC
Interesting points Glenn. The main thing I saw was that he argued against a type of unarmed block then offers an armed solution. The solution didn't match the problem. Offer an unarmed solution to the unarmed problem. Or offer an armed problem and an armed solution.
I think using the "same" block with the knife is ok is this instance because he us using the knife at the same time. But that is what I mean, his solutions all used the knife and at the beginning he used bad unarmed examples. Not the same thing.
And u r exactly right about the close range stuff. Useless I feel. At that range u need to control that knife arm. This is grappling range and grappling is required and I know many people say u don't grapple against a knife but u do need to control that arm.
I am not too current on Mr Vunaks stuff and am only commenting on this one video. I think overall the context is good and it is good to highlight the dangers of even an untrained opponent with a knife. A couple little points further is that he looks a little too classical Filipino in the way he moves and uses Filipino terms to an English speaking audience which I find unnecessary. And the kick at long range? The leg will just get cut.
Am I being too picky?
Me again.
Don't kick at a guy with a knife.
