Martial arts teacher

There was a commandment that my teacher said before

"Be prepared to accept any consequences of engaging in a knife fight, and to deserve what you are fighting for. The loser may have cuts, stitches, need surgery, or even a slow death painful

Be aware that if you use a knife to defend yourself against someone who doesn't have one, they may use it as a weapon against you if they have the skill to take it away from you. If you are not at risk of life, you may consider again a step such as extracting the knife.

In most countries, using a knife is not considered self-defense unless your opponent has a knife or weapon, and you could be in danger of going to jail by using the knife.

Do not engage yourself in a knife fight unless you are defending yourself against a knife-wielding attacker; Do not become the attacker and try to retreat and escape if possible.

Don't expect a fair fight. Knife fighting is not confrontational, so it is common for your opponent to attack you from behind or hit you in the side without any warning.

In some countries it is illegal to carry a knife except in specific, reasonable cases that justify doing so.

Never carry or possess a knife that is illegal in your town. A switchblade (a knife that opens with a push of a button) is illegal، The same applies to the butterfly knife (a knife whose handle consists of two parts and its blade is attached to the joint of the handle). Remember to check the legality of carrying a knife in public in advance of your visit to your local police department.

لا Throw your knife if you are not 100% sure it will hit your target or if you are fighting more than one person. If you hit your target with a 99% chance, there is a 1% chance that you will lose the knife. Logically, you won't be able to hit your target 99 times for every 100 times you try."

The teacher loved me so much, he saw in his successor who would open this martial arts gym after him

But I left him after ten years. I could not change my appearance at that time, so I had to disappear from humans, as the rate of my body growth is slow.

I had to prepare not to get attached to anyone who didn't know my condition

But before I went he gave me some notes so I could continue my education

There were also some laws

He also wrote in the notebook

" First of all, assess your opponent well. If you're carrying a knife, make sure you don't draw it at the start of the fight. Never show a knife unless you feel in danger during a physical fight or if your opponent takes out a knife or a firearm or other weapon to threaten you with. Always use your knife to avoid a fight, and then to defend yourself if necessary.

Do not point your knife at an unarmed assailant. Learn to defend yourself without using any weapon and avoid physical fights as much as possible.

If someone approaches you and threatens you, look at their hand and their pockets. If you see a weapon, sharpen your knife.

Second, learn how to sharpen your knife safely. When you sharpen a knife with a fixed, immovable blade, make sure the blade is pointing away from your body at all times. Get a firm grip on the handle and extend the knife up and away from your body into a defensive position. Most people hold the knife on the opposite side of the body from the hand holding the knife for this purpose.

Folding knives can be carried in your pocket, but this will make sharpening them slower and heavier. Try to point your folded knife with a quick thumb movement to open it as quickly as possible after you take it out.

There is no specific way to hold and point the knife, and it depends on personal preference. Experiment with several knives until you see what you're comfortable with.

Third, hold your knife correctly. There are many different grips used in knife self-defense depending on one's preference. Practice pointing and holding the knife in the safest and most comfortable way for you, Taking into account your fighting style, strength, and knife weight. The simplest and easiest way to learn is to hold up like you hold a hammer.

The front grip involves holding the knife across the handle and wrapping your fingers all around it, while the blade is toward you and pointing up. Variations of this grip usually depend on the position of your thumb to enhance the grip، But in a simple way, this grip is similar to the grip of a hammer, as you find that your thumb wraps around the handle to hold the knife in your hand.

The reverse grip is the same as the previous one, but the difference is that the blade is directed downward. The knife can be held in reverse so the blade is pointing toward you, but it's not a good idea to do this for beginners.

Fourth, keep your body behind your knife as much as possible. Use your knife as a defense to protect your face, neck and stomach against the attacker's attacks under any circumstance، That is the most important thing. Make your body a target as small as possible by bringing your shoulders together, bowing your head, and extending your knife arm in front of you and angled it at a 45-degree angle.

Don't extend your arm completely so as not to expose it to attacks.

Use your other arm to protect your chest, neck, and stomach while hiding behind your knife. Do not export your opponent's unarmed arm as your shield. Always put the knife in front.

Fifth, constantly move. If both of you (you and your opponent) draw your knife, take a big step back but keep your face facing your opponent the whole time and put your knife between you and your opponent. Imagine a magnet attracting your knife towards your opponent's knife.

You can generally move in four directions: forward, backward, and turn right or left. Always move in one direction to protect yourself and make it difficult for your opponent to hit you; Don't stand still.

Sixth, use your knife as a distraction. Most assailants will not want to attack you, especially if you take out a knife that you know how to use. No one would want to get into a knife fight. If someone takes out a knife at you, take out your knife in turn and show it in the hope that this will end the fight. In the best of circumstances, taking out your knife and distracting your opponent with it will end the fray.

Take out your knife and warn him, "The knife-handling instructor gave me this sharp knife، And I sharpen it every day, so I don't think you want to get any closer. Let's finish it off without any fight."

One famous knife user says that the main purpose of taking out your knife is to distract someone with that knife before you end the fight by kicking them between their legs, so that's not a bad idea at all.

Seventh, avoid blows by dribbling and controlling your opponent's attacking hand. A knife fight is not like a sword fight, you won't hit your blades together or dodge attacks in a knife fight، لكن It is still important to avoid any blows by moving your body sideways and standing at a 90-degree angle from your opponent's attacking hand, then using your other hand to grab your opponent's elbow and try to disarm him.

It is always better to use a knife to hit or block your opponent's arm than to grab it.

If you have no other choice, you will have to defend your vitals with your other hand. A sunken cut in your arm is better than a stab wound to a vital part of your body

Eighth, avoid quarrels as much as possible. Extracting and using a knife should be your last resort, and only if your life is in danger. If you can avoid confrontation completely or run away, do so instead of putting your life in potential danger.

If you get a serious cut or stab, apply pressure to the wound immediately, try to stop the bleeding, and seek medical attention. Keep applying pressure to the wound until you get medical attention.

This was loyal to learning martial arts with knives. It seems that I do not need to memorize them as long as I have these notes
