This makes me think to the one video that was fairly recent about a road rage incident in the UAE I believe it was where the guy could not defeat the leveraging arm and got brutally stabbed to death. It’s so tough if real life scenarios when that knife is coming hard and fast from all different angles. Try not to let him get a hold of you and work to the back side is good advice. You’ve got to throw something back at the attacker to make him worry about something, anything other than just stabbing you and you’ve got to be a wild animal in trying to get free and run if you don’t have a gun.

this should be a mandatory high school class. great stuff

John, gotta say that you are consistantly one of the most anylitical and practical instructors out there. I have been a serious student, and trainer for years. Good work. It is difficult to boil all the crap down to get to the plain, simple stuffthat works real world.

Thanks John for discussing a subject that has been on my mind for some time now.

Hey john,this video is exactly what people need to see. Yes it's exactly like you say...one tool is a distance weapon and one is for close range attack.Two totally different reactions depending on what your defense and offense is.I will mention when someone is in a dangerous situation they forget about everything they have learned and I have heard you always mention being mentally and spiritually fit...and to never attack or defend yourself halfheartedly! Keep up the Great work John...your AWESOME!

Don't know how I missed this. Well done. You should do more.

Dude, I love this channel! So much information transmitted with good humor.

I think your most underrated video(s) is the one(s) about gripping the slide of a pistol or gripping the ejection port of a rifle. I don't care if someone is pro-firearms or against them, that information is life-saving, I wish everyone knew that info. I'm glad you mentioned it again in this video.

The look on the young guy's face each time you went "off script" was hilarious. I always feel bad for the "test dummy" in any demonstration. Great job to the both of you. Stay safe & stay Ready!

Really appreciate your advice, and approach. I watched a few ASP videos and really liked them all so far, so please continue your fine work.This channel is new to me (ASPExtra) and this is the first I have seen,but i hope there are or will be many more. The guy who called you fake seems really worried about competition with his channel,which is his opinion, but to tell people not to sub is cowardly.Everybody is entitled to their opinion no matter how self centered and stupid it may be. Thanks again.

Priceless information.. Thanks John!

I love how realistic this is, and how it really acknowledges how a realistic encounter would go down. It's good to make it clear that you won't have time to think like this; it took a 17 minute video to help you understand what would go down in a 5-second encounter. It's realistic, it's smart, and most importantly it's acknowledging that hocus-pocus kung fo skills might work in a ring but not in real life. Love what you do man. You're the only youtube channel that I've felt obligated to watch every video of, because each of your videos are spot-on. Don't ever stop.

great video brother... we would always trap the leveraging hand, move to the back and "roll" the arm to lock the elbow and take them down (at least bent over) to get away from the knife. Of course from there, you would still have to either create distance for your firearm or secure the the knife, whatever the situation may be... but removing that convenience of balance is always a good thing as long as you can remain in control of your own. That being said, every situation is dynamic and different and these demonstrations show how quickly that situation can change. Having the ability to make fast decisions means beans when you don't back it up with some sort of training. With realistic training, then the fast thinkers are more adequately prepared. Great job!

John, that was a great video, I watched more of your vids than I can count, liked them all, this one I think was the best , or one of the best you've done , thumbs up and subbed

Such an important concept. I believe I read a statistic that stared 78 percent of knife attacks use a leveraging arm. Also the leveraging arm denies your escape which means serious injury and most likely death. Great work David.

Just discovered this now! OUTSTANDING!

John, more videos like this please! Great!

Good stuff. Analysis based on actual incident videos. In the happy dance, I wouldn't turn back to the inside. I would recommend a trip or better yet step on forward foot while spinning which should put him on the ground. (Hopefully with a broken ankle). Just my 2 cents. Love the idea of pressure testing everything.

I did the happy dance once and it ended sadly.And I just made that story like most of your haters.God bless you brother.

John, I was robbed at gun point many years ago & over the many years that’s past I’ve analyzed the entire 60-90 second interaction, to learn from my mistakes & possibly missed opportunities, with that said I only had one incidence that lasted less than a second or two where he got closer, using his left arm to retrieve cash from my register, with the 38 revolver in his right hand (with finger on trigger)even at that time I briefly considered going for the gun, but similar to how you demonstrated, he pulled the weapon high & back up closer to his shoulder, basically out of my reach, if he’d moved it forward, my chance would have been there, But as it was, I recognize if I go for the gun, even with decent self defense skills, he has distance advantage, and he’s going to easily discharge a round or two before I can even get close. I made the split second decision, not to move, Again I’ve analyzed in my mind a thousand times & this was my only opportunity to even remotely consider, I think it was the right decision at the time. As it was , He was prepared to fire & more than prepared to kill, as about 5-10 seconds after I gave him the money, he moved about 5-6’ from me & fired his weapon anyway, multiple times.

Note on the knife attack. He's using a leveraging arm to grab you, and the other hand to stab at you. I found when practicing that in a Judo/Jiujitsu class decades ago that I had two hands and arms free to work on his knife arm, and usually a free foot/leg to work on his feet and legs, and balance. The most successful approach for me was to redirect the stab across my body and use my hands to keep him from drawing it back for another stab. The knife became MY knife in his hand. I could usually "cut up" (rubber knife) his leveraging arm, and if I was able to trip him off balance enough, stab him in the torso with his own knife. Took plenty of practice but worked well even when my opponents were expecting it. We also worked the techniques you demonstrate here, but if he turned back in too quickly (because he was expecting me to try to get around his back) I could use his momentum to get control of the knife as I described.

Very useful stuff. Hand to hand skills are at least as important as weapon skills, most attacks come from very close [ bad breath ] distance and are intended to catch the victim at an extreme disadvantage.

Please do more of these videos!!

It really is.

I have studied aikido on the mat for about ten years, and I like what I saw here. I also prefer to go to the rear, and with the grab OR the distancing arm, would have tried a technique called ikkyo ura, where the hand of the same side (he's extended his left arm, so you use your right) is placed under his elbow and the elbow is lifted and cranked counterclockwise and down to the attacker's front, and then the defender slides his left foot back in a circular movement to step behind the attacker's left foot and the defender rotates on his vertical axis to stay behind the knife wielder. Then the defender, holding the attacker's grasping arm, reaches with his right over the attackers arm to clamp it to his own side, and falls right shoulder first to drive the attacker's left shoulder or face into the ground, where his right arm and hand (and the knife he's holding) are useless to him. (This finish only benefits the defender against a single attacker and where the defender can rely on allies to help him contain and detain the attacker until law enforcement arrives. The advantage is that AT WORST, the attacker suffers temporary injury, none of which are likely to be fatal. If the situation is otherwise, the defender might have to do serious damage to the attacker to end the threat.
