Guro David Battaglia replied to the discussion 'Empty Hand vs The Knife'
I think MMA has gone to some practitioners heads. Last summer I co-promoted an amateur Muay Thai competition. The host gym is an MMA gym, and supplied one-half of the opposition. I supplied most of the other half. They were competitors from a…

Point taken. That is why I professed that it DEPENDS on the individual who is holding a bladed weapon. In analogy, if a child is holding a knife, can we not disarm that child? Or say, a woman who is holding the same to scare off an attacker? There…

IMO, there are no definites, either way.
Guro David Battaglia replied to the discussion 'Empty Hand vs The Knife'
I respectfully disagree. Most untrained people with weapons/knives are unpredictable. In an agitated state they are more aggressive, stronger, faster, meaner, and more determined to cause damage. Only gross motor function is needed to cause grave…
Dr. Remedios Sy replied to the discussion 'Empty Hand vs The Knife'
It depends upon the person who holds the knife. If the person who holds the knife has the basic knowledge in martial arts, then for sure, he will win the combat. But if the person who holds the knife does so just to scare off or defend himself…

Marc "Animal" McClung ( I believe that is his name) once emailed me saying he used the prison stab against Filipino master at seminars and none were able to defend against it.
Guro David Battaglia replied to the discussion 'Empty Hand vs The Knife'
Jean-David, In my experience good knowledge of a knife is not needed for the knifer to inflict horrible and deadly wounds, in an instant.
The idea of training with hate is good. I prefer to train with determination.
PLEASE, I urge all of you to…
Warrior Blood replied to the discussion 'Empty Hand vs The Knife'
I will apologise ahead of time if I get a lil long winded. But I have been trying to explain this theory to poeple in my circle for years.
I must agree with John here. I was a US ARMY Infantry Team Leader. And one of the many princaples that…

At close range a knife can definitely beat a gun. Check out this technique:

This definitely shows that UFC does not really reflect the realities of a REAL street fight!
Sonny Sison replied to the discussion 'Empty Hand vs The Knife'
We handle things in different ways. I've been in situations similar to what Guy experienced and have stepped up to help someone when no one else would. In a world that has people out for themselves, I do commend what he did.
QuadZeroRoute replied to the discussion 'Empty Hand vs The Knife'
There use to be a video on YouTube by reknown Carl Cestari on knife strikes, and how he could render all of the bare handed arnis / escrima training blocks that anyone ever knew useless in less than 5 seconds using hard core prison techniques and it…
Ernie D. Garcia replied to the discussion 'Empty Hand vs The Knife'
It's stated here that the Guy was a Former UFC tournament winner? obviously in my opinion he lacks the knowledge in weapon based training. So that's why he has the big chance to be cut or lucky for him he was not stubbed to death. If…
john machera replied to the discussion 'Empty Hand vs The Knife'
I can't say what Mr Metzger was thinking,only he knows that.I will admit, I've done time and have seen and done a lot.I have also turned my life around completely.I have friends that practice different arts and each art seems to come with…
Guro David Battaglia replied to the discussion 'Empty Hand vs The Knife'
Again, it doesn't sound like her life was in immediate danger. Getting physically involved under those circumstances usually means the good samaritan is injured or killed. The other outcome is the bad guy being injured or killed, and the good…
Sonny Sison replied to the discussion 'Empty Hand vs The Knife'
Apparently, the assailant was already shoving the girl around which prompted Metzger to step between them wherein he was attacked.

It was a honor to work with your students....Their passion and enthusiasm is a true reflection of your teaching. You run a great Dojo and anytime you want me back I would be honored to advance their knowledge in what I know and teach.

- GM Rogers! I now fully see a new weapon. Not sure how to design it, but it applies the shielding on one weapon hand, and it would of course come right from this art. I have carbon gloves but they are not strong enough to take the impact, and probably not impervious to cuts. But a well designed glove, worn on just ONE hand would allow some level of direct hits from an edged weapon, but you must be able to move your hand completely unrestricted 360 degrees. This means of course you are going to be using your lead weapon and hand as a shield to penetrate the opponents lead weapon hand. Just a thought.

- My friend, have you seen the following video, "Zulu & Filipino Kali Stick Fighting"? I know you want to see this, and if you contact him, maybe he has more footage available for you to study. Mr Burton had it on his page:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x_qgilAJi4U
If the link does not work, go to YouTube and search by the title name, or go to his YouTube channel at: BurtonRichardson
Have a good day!
