No Situational Awareness Equals Knife Attack
One of the things we are taught in Krav is situational awareness, because being aware and letting potential assailants know you’re aware of them is a big part of self defense. A lot of times by being “aware”, the assault is defused before it starts. You can either avoid it all together or be in a better position to defend and counter (more…)
Bar fight knock out
This is a great clip of a guy decking a guy, then another guy decking that guy outside a bar. You’ll see two bald guys standing in front of each other arguing. Then the one bald guy punches the other and knocks him down, (more…)
Danzig Gets Knocked Out
This is a great clip of sort-of-rock star Glen Danzig starting a fight, then getting knocked out. He’s discussing the band line up with a guy, then gets mad and shoves the guy. The guy comes back with a haymaker and lays Danzig out. What kills me about this is, what did Danzig think the guy was going to do after he shoved him? (more…)
Puncher Takes on Three Guys
Watch this guy take on three men. He looks like he’s had some karate training even though he only uses punches. He knocks some of them down with jabs only which is pretty great. He keeps his hands up and keeps landing some good punches. He has pretty good movement and utilizes some stacking.
Watching the tape though you can’t help but see places where a knee or elbow strike would have come in handy. None the less he still knock one of the guys out cold and they have to call the ambulance.
But this dude goes to show what you can do with two fists and some heart.
Front Kick Foils Knife Attack
This is a video of a man holding a woman hostage with a big knife. A cop sees an opening and knocks the guy back and away from the woman with a flying front kick. It’s not pretty, it’s not elegant but it does the job.

Knife Defense Anyone?
Situations like this is why Krav Maga spends so much time on knife defense, it’s an all too common occurrence.
Bouncer Stabbed. - A funny movie is a click away
Here you see two bouncers turning a guy away at the door. He then pulls out a knife and trys to stab them. They don’t seem to have any knife defense training at all. They run away and get the other bouncers from the club, instead of instinctively counter attacking.
At the end of the video you’ll see all the bouncers go running after the dude with the knife. If they caught him I bet he got one hell of a beat down.
