Pay attention, this is the real deal. These are not showy difficult to master martial arts moves. These are the simplest most effective knife disarming techniques known to man.\n\nAs you saw in the video you never want to attempt a disarm technique until your attacker has committed himself by stepping forward with his back foot (if the knife is in his right hand the right foot is the back foot).\n\n<div style=\"width: 40%; margin: auto; padding: 5px;\">\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2086\" src=\"http:\/\/fightfast.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/step-1-make-him-commit-to-s.png\" alt=\"Knife Disarming: Commit To The Stab\" width=\"100%\" \/>\n<\/div>\nOnce he commits he has lost much of his thrusting power and maneuverability. This is the most crucial part of the technique.\n\nWhen he commits to the stab you need to throw the cross block while simultaneously stepping back. The cross block redirects the stab downward and stepping back moves your body away from the blade. The combination ensures that you don\u2019t get stabbed.\n\n<div style=\"width: 40%; margin: auto;\">\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2085\" src=\"http:\/\/fightfast.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/step-2-cross-block.png\" alt=\"Knife Disarming: The Cross Block\" width=\"100%\" \/>\n<\/div>\n\nThe cross block is great because like Randy says in the video it doesn\u2019t have to be aimed perfectly to work. You have a wide range where you will still deflect and redirect the knife.\n\nThis one of the most important knife disarming techniques you can learn. It is crucial to practice this technique to get it right. You will need a training partner and a dummy knife. If you don\u2019t have a dummy knife you can simply use a wooden dowel or some other safe item that resembles a knife.\n\nPractice slow at first to make sure you understand the joint lock and gradually speed up the motion. The goal is to be able to use this technique full speed without letting the blade touch you.\n\nRandy and Bob make this technique look easy (and in truth it is a simple technique) but don\u2019t be fooled. They have years of experience. It will take some time to master, but it is well worth it. And even if you don\u2019t have the time to spend to master it, simply being good enough can save your life.\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As promised here is the knife disarming video.
