Rad-daddio posted:Serious answer; I watched a video of some guy in NYC who confronted a dude who was having some kind of mental health crisis and was damaging cars. Most people who get stabbed don't even see the knife or realise they're being stabbed during the attack, so you need to recognize when someone is drawing a knife and when, (grab their hand whilst they're trying to pull something out of their pocket, overhook their elbow tightly whilst striking with your other hand/whatever. Yes, people already branishing their knives or weapons openly before attacking is a real concern, but in a lot of cases, you might not get that advance warning. "Always assume your attacker always has a weapon like a knife or gun, and also assume they have friends ready to jump you if it goes physical." Very important to know as even if you're kicking the guy's arse, they might panic and pull out a knife or gun without you knowing they're now using a weapon. The obvious answer is to be aware of potentially dangerous situations, know what aggressive/about to attack body language looks like, try to avoid the situation, verbally defuse if possible, but you also need to actually know what drawing a concealed weapon looks & feels like. One drill I did many years ago was a wrestling drill with a twist. You'd start wrestling with a partner from the standing clinch, who had a knife concealed on them, and at some point they'd try and pull it out. Over time, you'd get a feeling of when they're reaching behind them/into a pocket and do something about it like controlling their limb. People wrestling or unarmed striking don't usually suddenly start reaching into their clothing or grabbing behind them and then "punching" you unless they're grabbing a weapon like a knife or gun. Another way is having a partner with a concealed training knife on them at arms length. You just stand there, silently or verbally counting "Opportunity" repeatedly as they pull out their training knife, and only stop counting once they "stab" or "slash" you (they have to physically make contact with you to be an effective drill, no swiping the air BS with this one). The "opportunity" thing is making a note of what physical actions someone actually has to do to pull out a concealed weapon, and therefore what "opportunities" you can actually do something about it i.e. if they turn away from you and start reaching behind them during a scuffle, you have an opportunity to mess up their weapon draw when they turn away before they actually pull the weapon out; be it just grabbing or striking their hand/elbow going into their pocket. This will hopefully give you time to properly grab onto their limb then punch them whilst controlling the limb etc.

I successfully fought off a guy (and buddy) with a knife in DC. I got slashed on my forearms and once on my chest, but nothing serious.

No, I cannot fight. Can't win any argument either.

I am a bonafide scaredy cat, sensitive, and a pacifist. My 1940s Warner Bros. cartoon gangster build and surly resting bitch face would dispute this, but I'd rather be bottle feeding newborn kittens or baking muffins or some poo poo than fight someone.

I'm fairly tough, I think? I have a black belt in judo, boxed as a kid and do muay thai now. Last time I got in a fight was about seven months ago, a guy jumped me from behind and started hammering at my skull with a glass paperweight. I was rocked, but managed to recover and break his jaw, eye socket, nose, two of his ribs and his left wrist. I had choked him unconscious just as the police arrived. That being said, it was luck. If he'd hit me a bit different, if I'd stumbled on a kerb, if we'd landed differently when I hit harai goshi on him, it could've all went totally differently. When I go to muay thai, I can hold my own against 70% of the class, and totally dominate maybe 10% of them. The remaining percentage punk on me so hard it's like watching a child try to fight a grownup. There's levels to it, and there's basically zero visual clues as to who can fuckin' kill you and who's a paper tiger - EXCEPT for Samoans and Maoris, never ever fight Samoans and Maoris. Actually just don't fight anyone. Even if you win you feel like poo poo and your night's ruined. You can do a lot more with a kind word, a low soft tone and a decent 100m sprint.
