Once 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.\n\nThis combination ensures that you don\u2019t get stabbed. The 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\n[dfads params='groups=292&amp;limit=1&amp;orderby=random']\n<h4>Some Advice<\/h4>\n<div class=\"small-12 medium-6 large-3 columns right align-to-p img\">\n  <img src=\"https:\/\/www.fightfast.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/step-2-cross-block.png\" width=\"100%\"><\/div>\nThis is 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 at full speed without letting the blade touch you. Randy and Bob make this technique look easy (and in truth it is a simple technique) but don\u2019t be fooled.\n\nThey 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<p id=\"read-more-link\">\n    <a href=\"https:\/\/fightfast.com\/ar\/AFC-k.php?utm_campaign=KnifeDisarmVid_ADFCH&amp;utm_medium=post&amp;utm_source=blog&amp;utm_content=0D4E9E9F&amp;utm_term=existing-list\">Click here for more training by Bob Taylor!<\/a><\/p>\n\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Wait Is Over As promised, here is the knife disarming video.
