| I've done something similar a few times with wooden tantos and magic markers, thing was I video taped it so we could see the results from the third party prospective. It made some really important observations 1) allot of what I thought was effective, wasn't and 2) it all basically came down to timing. The classical wrist-lock defense for a knife didn't work.
When I was on QRF at 503rd back in Korea we had some protesters get on post and try to stab soldiers. Again the common knife-defenses didn't work as taught, they required a little "pain-distraction" to be used effectively. We didn't get too many injuries but thats more because we had flak vests on. |
