 Annotation
These days, the knife has become the most dangerous weapon, which is
responsible for most of the killings caused by domestic and street quarrels,
brawls, street violence, robberies, disorderly behavior of youth gangs or
people under the influence of drugs and alcohol.
How to protect yourself from the opponent, armed with a knife? Under
what conditions, and under what circumstances, can this knowledge and
skills be required? What to do and how to act in an unexpected attack of the
enemy, armed with a knife? What arsenal of techniques, psychological and
tactical training may be required by the ordinary citizen in this situation?
How to learn it and how to apply this knowledge? The reader will find the
answers to these questions in this book.
The effectiveness of the system with seeming simplicity and affordability is
astounding. The results of the studies that were closed earlier and available
to you today showed that under all the same conditions, the chances of
defeating an opponent armed with a knife a person, who was trained by this
system, are 12 times higher and for the same person in hand-to-hand fight,
which has mastered the basics of techniques, these figures increase 144
times.
Chapters 1-6 provide descriptions of the most common options for
attacking with a knife and possible places for striking a person’s body. This
is very important knowledge for the proper organization of self-defense, the
protection of vulnerable parts of the body and the use of the most effective
tactics and methods of protection against the enemy, which are discussed in
the remaining chapters.
The books includes only easy to master techniques, which can be used in
life treating situations by everybody without need for special training. The
author deliberately missed such methods as strangulation, blocking and
impact on the enemy's pain points, which are widely used by Special
Forces, because these methods require strength and a long time to master
and will not be suitable as a protection measure for ordinary people in an
emergency.

Chapter 1. Knives classification
Since ancient times, the knife is one of the most dangerous types of knives.
The ability to defend against the threat and attack of the enemy, armed with
a knife, may be required not only in battle, but also in everyday life.
It should be remembered that of all types of knives the most dangerous is an
ordinary kitchen knife.
Knives can be classified into:
1. Fighting.
2. Hunting.
3. Kitchenware.
4. Special (shoe, garden, paper cutter, penknife, awl, throwing knife,
transformer knife).
5. Historical (Navaja, Caucasian Dagger, Finn, Kukri, Machete).
6. Self-made ("sharpening", "peak," puncture ", etc.).
Knives can be used for applying piercing, cutting, chopping, piercing-
cutting strokes.
As a rule, knives were originally made for specific purposes, for special
strikes.
Many knives were originally conceived and intended only for stabbing.
These knives often do not have a cutting edge - Dag, stylet, "peak",
"sharpening" or either this edge is very conditional.
Most often, knives have only one cutting edge.
Knives can have a completely sharp edge on one side along the length of
the entire blade and a partially sharpened edge on the other side.
There are also double-edged knives, such as the Caucasian dagger.
Sometimes knives have a shape, size and sharpening in order to use it for
delivering first cuts, for example, a Nepali kukri knife or a machete knife.
Many knives have, in addition to the sharp blade, special cuts or devices for
performing certain functions, for example, for cutting wire, sawing small
branches, hooks and grabs of another knife.
Despite their different uses, all knives are dangerous because, first of all,
they are designed to accomplish a task or achieve a specific goal.
Chapter 2. What is knife attack dangerous by?
Dangerous is usually not the knife itself. Dangerous to others can be the
one, who uses it as a weapon.
When an offender attacks with a knife or any other cutting or sharp object,
it can cause cuttings of vital, human organs, tendons, arteries and veins,
nerve fibers, the face; there may be scars; you can be left without eyes, ears,
fingers.
Experience allows predicting with some accuracy the possible
consequences of getting a knife wound.
With the defeat of the brachial artery, the time of possible loss of
consciousness is 14 seconds, and death can occur within one and a half
minutes.
If the radial artery is damaged, the time of loss of consciousness is half a
minute and death can occur within 2 minutes.
When the carotid artery is damaged, the time of loss of consciousness is 5
seconds, and death is 12 seconds.
Damage to the subclavian artery causes loss of consciousness within 2
seconds, and death can occur within 3 and half minutes.
With the defeat of the heart, consciousness can be lost instantly, and death
can occur in 3 seconds.
If the liver, spleen, stomach is damaged, consciousness can be lost almost
instantly, and death can occur depending on the depth of the cut within a
few minutes.
It should be borne in mind that in this case we are talking about one exact
blow or cut. And there may be several of them. And not every blow can be
fatal.
The causes of death, when the offender attacks with a knife, can be:
1. Damage incompatible with life.
2. Blood loss, which can be:
2.1. Abundant (2.5-3 liters).
 2.2. Acute (rapid outflow of blood from large main vessels, even in small
quantities - 200-500 ml).
2.3. When passing acute blood loss in copious.
3. Crush organs with blood or air.
4. Shock III and IV degree. It happens, when the damage itself is not fatal,
but it causes overexcitement of the central nervous system with subsequent
disorder of the nervous regulation.
5. Embolism. It causes a blockage of blood vessels or capillaries of the
brain or lung, for example, with droplets of fat that have got there due to
damage.
Chapter 3. How can opponent attack you with a
knife?
It depends on many factors. The most important thing is how the knife
holds.
There are two main ways to hold a knife in your hand and many options:
1. Blade from the little finger down (1).
2. Blade thumb up (2).

Fig. 1, 2

Due to the fact that most often the knives are used with one-sided
sharpening, options or ways to hold / grip the knife can be as following:
1. Blade to itself (3, 4).
2. The blade from itself (5, 6).
 Fig. 3, 4

Fig. 5, 6
There are also many variations with the retention / grip of the knife:
1. With an inclination of 45 degrees to itself (7).
2. With an inclination of 45 degrees from itself (8).
 Fig. 7, 8

3. Blade to itself (9).

4. The blade from itself (10).

Fig. 9, 10
5. Hidden blade grip to itself (11).
6. Hidden grip with a blade hidden in the sleeve (12).

Fig 11, 12
Possible variants of an attack by an enemy armed with a knife depend on
the position from which the enemy can launch an attack.
There are two main positions: open position (13) and closed position (14).

Variants of attack with a knife
1. The opposite hand (15, 15a, 16, 16a):

Attack of the enemy with a knife can be made on the spot, with a sub-step,
jump or approach. However, in the end, at its final stage, the attack will be
made as above.
2. With the same hand (17, 17a, 18, 18a).

Chapter 4. Six basic variants of pricking strikes
Six variants of possible attacks of the enemy, armed with a knife, with the
help of a pricking strike can be considered classic, the simplest and reliable
for the attacker.
It is on these variants of the attacks that the classical training of the methods
of protection from the knife, the accumulation of practical skills of
protection, is carried out.
There are six main options for attacking with a knife:
1. Strike with a knife from above - the grip by the blade with the little finger
down (1, 2, 3).

Fig.1
Fig. 2, 3
2. Strike with a knife from the bottom - the grip by the blade with the thumb
up (3, 4, 5)

Chapter 5. Variants of attacks with cutting knife
For demonstration of the attack technique with a knife cutter, the option of
using the knife with one-sided blade sharpening is chosen.
The choice of such a knife to demonstrate the technique of attacks,
classification and description of threats is not accidental. A knife with one-
sided sharpening is dangerous, when applying cutting blows in a certain
direction, the way the knife grip and its position. And at the same time, it is
these movements and threats that are the main and most frequently
encountered. When using a knife with double-sided sharpening blade
movement is almost the same.

For criminal purposes, a knife is often used to simply cut, disfigure a person
and injure people with large negative health consequences.
In the criminal environment, the knife is often used unexpectedly, from
behind, to secure the concealment of a crime or eliminate the witness of a
crime.
In a special section should highlight the use of a knife in domestic violence.
Here the attack options, the moment of its beginning, the target of the
attack, the attacker's intentions are difficult to reasonably classify. And that
is why such situations are most dangerous.
Chapter 7. Ways to avoid a fight
Of course, the main advice that can be given in this case is: do not walk
along dark streets, especially if the area is not familiar and it is known in
advance that this quarter has already become famous as unfavorable.
However, this advice is not always possible to follow. In addition, a clash
with hooligans can occur not only on a dark street, but also in any other
place, for example, during the day on the beach.
If you have to pass by a group of people, who look and behave
aggressively, you need to try to keep calm and confident. Passing by them,
you do not need to lower your eyes - they may think that you are afraid, but
you don’t need to look at some of them in the eyes - they can accept such
behavior as a challenge. It is better to try to look as if through them.
If you are stopped by a question, in no case can you apologize, make
excuses. It is best to give the same ridiculous answer to a ridiculous
question. The answer should be short and clear, you can answer the
question with a question. Do not be afraid of threats, if they sounded in
your address.
One way to avoid a fight is a cry for help. Hearing him, passersby can call
the police. In addition, the police themselves can hear calls for help.
In general, as a rule, hooligans use verbal sparring as a way to find out who
you are and what you are, that is, whether you are an easy victim or it is
better not to get in touch with you. Therefore it is necessary, in spite of
everything, to continue to behave confidently and somewhat detached. So,
if one of the hooligans is trying to take you aside by saying: “Let's go, let's
talk,” you don’t need to be led by him. In this case, you can answer: “I will
not go. Go on a walk yourself. ”
You cannot turn back to the bullies - they can strike.
Also, you cannot move backwards, as this will also serve as a signal to the
beginning of the fight.
If there are several hooligans, try to determine which of them the leader is:
as a rule, this is the most visible and most active person. He is most often
the first, who strikes.
If the leader is trying to get closer to you, be prepared for the fact that at
any moment he can hit you, after which all others will immediately pounce
on you.
You need to try to use all the ways to avoid a fight, even if the enemy does
not cause concern and even if you are afraid to seem like a coward in front
of your companion.
Try all the time to move aside, as if going to the rear of the enemy.
However, if he is not alone, both sides may also turn out to be a hooligan.
Anyway, you need to behave calmly to the last. Perhaps the bullies calm
down and allow you to pass. If you see that a fight is inevitable and a verbal
skirmish was necessary only to provoke you, you can try to incapacitate the
leader. In this case, you can even strike first. If your strike is accurate and
the hooligans see that their leader is defeated, they can refuse to attack.
Chapter 8. The start of the fight
The main thing at the beginning of the fight is not to be led by the enemy,
and try to seize the initiative. All means are good for this, even deception.
So, you can pretend to be very scared. For example, fall on your knees and
start shouting: “I will bow to you, just don't hit!” Opponents, certainly not
expecting to see this, will relax, start to grin and rub their hands. At this
point, and should quickly move to decisive action, for example, grabbing
the nearest by the ankle, sharply pull it towards you. The enemy will
inevitably lose balance and fall. After that, using the effect of surprise, you
can attack the next enemy.
You can pretend to be distraught - start screaming, growling, yelling,
frantically waving your arms, even drooling, grinning and depicting
nervous convulsions. Due to this behavior, you will immediately cease to
seem an attractive goal, since no one wants to mess with the violent
madman. However, in order to be persuasive, you need to be either a very
good actor, or to train in advance, otherwise you just will not be believed.
In no case you should not underestimate the enemy. This is the first
mistake, which, as a rule, inevitably leads to defeat.
There are many ways to seize the initiative. For example, if burglars require
a wallet or mobile phone, you can take a similar object out of your pocket -
sharply throw it in the face of the enemy with a cry of "Hold!" You can also
throw a handful of sand or earth in your opponent's face. For a few seconds
he will be demoralized, and this time can be used to attack.
And yet, if the enemy is alone and confused by your sudden attack, is
defeated, and you are wondering whether to finish him off or run away,
experienced people always advise choosing the second option. After all, the
meaning of the fight is not in the fight itself, but to leave the dangerous
place as quickly as possible and with minimal losses. And if there is even
the slightest opportunity to escape, it is necessary to take advantage of it.
However, it is not always possible to run. If there are several opponents and
they are trying to surround you, it is probably useless to run. In this case,
you need to try something to arm yourself. It's not about a gun or a knife, in
a street fights almost any object - a metal comb, a piece of glass, a can of
beer or a cigarette lighter - can turn into a formidable weapon.
However, it is not always a fight can occur on the street, in a dark park. For
example, you can sit in a restaurant or cafe, and a big guy will come up to
you and will offer to “go out and talk”. Of course, his friends will be
waiting for you on the street. In this case, it is stupid to start for you a fight
in a cafe and to go out is also dangerous, because his friends can be waiting
you outside, beside this a refusal can also lead to nothing good. In this case,
one of the variants of your behavior may be as follows: calmly stand up and
walk with the inviting person to the street, and on the way abruptly strike
him at the neck or at the base of the nape (the vulnerable zones on the
human body will also be described below). As a rule, others do not have
time to understand what you can use. It is enough just to bend over the
former opponent and start shouting: “Call the doctor, the person is unwell,”
- then return to his place.
Do not overestimate your strength, even if you were engaged in any kind of
martial arts. As a rule, a street fight has nothing to do with the training fight
in the hall.
If there are several opponents and they have surrounded you, it is
recommended to try first to disable the most dangerous of them. However,
one should not blindly follow this or any other advice given in this book.
Sometimes it is more convenient to attack the one, who is closer.
This book assumes that your criminal has a knife, and he is trying to stab
you or your loved ones. You cannot run from the abuser because you are not
alone and must protect yourself and your loved ones. The best way, as I
mentioned above in this particular situation, is to first attack your abuser
and try to neutralize him, rather than wait until he hits you. But this is not
always possible for various reasons. Then you must use the methods of
protection against attack with a knife. You will find all the most effective
methods of attack and defense in the following chapters.
Chapter 9. Key considerations in the case of a
knife attack
Sometimes an enemy, armed with a knife, can attack with preliminary
preparation, intimidation of the enemy, studying his reaction to certain
threats and the very demonstration of the knife or the threat of its use, with
the preliminary striking of a distracting kick by hand or foot.
The attack can be made suddenly and unexpectedly. For example, from
closed positions or from behind or using a knife with a opening blade. Or
the enemy is going to use a folding knife and he needs time to bring him
into a combat position.
The main thing to know and remember: the attack of the enemy, armed with
a knife, can begin anytime and anywhere.
The enemy may give a surprise. For example, be left-handed. Or, for
example, the enemy does not care in which hand to hold the knife.

Selecting defensive distance and position

The most important condition for successful defense against the threat of
the enemy with a knife attack is the selection and preservation of a safe
distance from the attacker.
As long as you keep and control the distance, for a knife you will remain
invulnerable.
This can give you the following benefits:
1. The enemy will lose the initiative and advantage of surprise.
2. You get extra time to assess the situation and make a decision.
3. For the time you have won, the situation itself can change dramatically.
4. You can call or wait for help or support.
5. The threat from the unexpected and hidden from others can become
public and attract the attention of many witnesses.
6. You can pick up and use random objects at hand.
7. You will be able to evaluate and study the opponent from the point of
view of his weak and strong points.
8. You can choose to protect the moment convenient for you and the
method that will be used against the enemy and which, in your opinion, will
be the most appropriate and effective.
9. You will be able to decide for yourself about the extent to which your
defense will be appropriate, so as not to exceed the limits of its necessity.
10. The enemy can also use this time in order to change his mind, change
his intentions, purpose and motivation of his actions.
11. In the end, it is quite possible that you simply persuade the enemy not to
commit unlawful actions.
Choosing a defense position can also play in favor of the defender:
First, you can choose a position that is convenient for you and inconvenient
for the enemy. Such a position, for example, may limit the possibility of
maneuver for the attacker and, as a result, limit the choice of opportunities
for attack.
Secondly, your constant change of defense positions may make it difficult
for the attacker to assess the situation and choose the technique of attack,
causing uncertainty in his actions.
In the end, all this can make the opponent start thinking.
In certain conditions, when an attack is carried out by a person who is in a
state of aggressive limited sanity or alcohol intoxication, the very fact that
he has resumed mental activity can return to the attacker a critical
assessment of his actions and intentions.
It should be borne in mind that often the threat and attack with a knife can
be generally unmotivated. And the appearance on the part of the adversary
of a critical understanding of the situation and his actions and intentions,
quite likely, will force him to change his intentions.
Chapter 10. Knocking out knife technique
Under certain conditions like the luck and skill the enemy can be disarmed
by knocking out his knife.
One of the prerequisites for success may be an element of carelessness and
unreasonable euphoria of superiority from the enemy. Often it works out.
And the result often exceeds expectations.
From the hands of the enemy, the knife can be knocked out by an
unexpected strike of an arm or a leg. The strike itself is applied sharply and
hard. The main thing here is the element of surprise.
It can be very effective to use handy objects - sticks, stone, brick, chair, bag,
umbrella, key or keychain, book, and more.

Chapter 11. Retreat from the attack line
Leaving the line of attack is performed as an independent, sometimes self-
sufficient means of protection, and as an aid when using other techniques.
Leaving the line of attack can be both backward and forward.
In the first case, the distance is reached, with which the enemy either lacks
a target, or to continue the attack he needs to go the distance of the start of a
new attack.
In the second case, the distance becomes so small that it is simply difficult
for the enemy to continue his plans, and to continue the attack it is
necessary to prepare again and type the necessary distance.
There are various options for leaving the line of attack.
1. Leaving the line of attack backwards (rebound or step with the right foot
backward with the change of the right-sided position to the left-sided one).
The execution of such waste back can go on indefinitely.
2. Leaving the line of attack forward (putting pressure on the enemy may
continue if he tries to break the distance).
2.1. With a jump forward.
2.2. Step right foot forward.
2.3. Leaning forward with the left foot.
Leaving the attack line can be performed both left and right, as well as left
forward, left back, right forward or right back. As with the step of the left
foot forward and back. As with the step of the right foot forward and back.
More complex options for leaving the line of attack are also possible.
There are plenty of possible ways of leaving the attack line. Below I will
provide example of the most common ones, which are easy to master.
Initial position is always remains the same for all retreats from the attack
line.
1. Step left foot forward.

2. Step left foot forward to the left and step left foot to the left (left and
right pics).
3. With a step of his left foot back turn to 225 degrees counterclockwise and
with a step backward left foot turn 270 degrees counterclockwise, (left and
right pics).

4. Step right foot forward and step right foot forward to the right, (left and

Chapter 12. Conclusion
In modern world especially in big cities street fights become a sad reality.
There are plenty of reasons, when man or woman or group of people
becomes aggressive towards other person. It can be robbery, disorderly
conduct, sexual assault or assault under alcohol or drugs intoxication.
Usually man defends his female partner or family from the insult. But quite
often lonely woman may become the target for offenders and have to
defend herself. Before embarking on self-defense issues, I dare to give a
few tips on how to behave with a potential adversary.
First of all, it must be remembered that on the scale of human values health
and life occupies the first place, so without special need not get involved in
the street fights - for this there are competent authorities. If an offender
comes up to you with the infamous the phrase: "Money or Life!" – You
should unconditionally give the wallet. After all, even the most famous
master of martial arts is not immune from accidents: he can slip, to stumble,
leading to irreparable consequences. I also recommend not provoking an
attacker by excessive coquetry, excessively extravagant style of clothing
and a wealth of jewelry.
However, there are such situations when it is necessary to give a fitting
rebuff. If you feel that you’re your efforts of negotiating with the gangster
fails that your life and health in danger, act calmly and decisively. You can
use any available tools: stones, sticks, even a pencil or hairpins. It will not
be superfluous knowledge of self-defense techniques.
To learn techniques you need a partner. It is better if it is a man far superior
to you in physical strength. Movements should be done first and very
slowly, achieving their cohesion and smoothness, then gradually
accelerating and bringing them to real conditions. However, it does not need
to exert excessive efforts in order not to deliver a pain to your partner.
Begin to master the techniques after a short warm-up, warming up the
muscles and joints.
In conclusion, I would like to wish readers not to find themselves in
situations that will require the application of knowledge in practice. Let the
training will serve you to gain and strengthen confidence in yourself.
