Knife fighting isn't about fighting, it's about surviving and defending yourself against attack. If you want to learn to defend yourself with a knife, you need intelligence, balance, and precision. You can learn to carry knives safely and legally, as well as how to defend yourself properly against potential attacks.

Jeet Kune Do InstructorIn Kali, which is Filipino martial arts, there is a lot of knife training. One of the things we teach is called defanging the snake, which means if someone tries to attack you with a knife, your number one objective is to disable the hand holding the weapon. So, if you have a knife, you would try to cut their weapon arm or hand with the goal of making them let go of the knife.
