"Wrist locks and armlocks are too risky
in a knife defence UNLESS you are highly
skilled.
The average person is better SMASHING
the joint or dislocating it rather than
trying to subdue an attacker.
When you have a distance between you
and an attacker i.e say five foot or more,
then RUN, look for an exit and escape.
Why stand in a fancy martial arts stance
and hope he will turn into a 'quivering jelly'?
This is how you see knife defences performed
in some magazines and it is RUBBISH.
If you have four feet of distance or less
and the attacker is brandishing a knife,
then start trying to mentally disarm
him and at the same time trying to increase
your distance and at the same time try to
look for a makeshift weapon to use as an EQUALISER."
