An ordinary individual is exposed to danger at many times in his lifetime. The everyday travel to the workplace can also present many potential hazards. Not surprisingly, there are people who undergo classes and training to learn the means to defend themselves. There are many systems of self-defense and martial arts in which a person can learn to deter bodily assault. I'm learning Krav Maga now and I must say that it is a good form of self defense…

I like as usual the way you developed this post. Interesting and practical the usage of the marker pen in video 1. Scary Video 2, interesting 3 and 4: the video 5 is probably a easier situation to handle as you start from a static situation rather than a dynamic one. The Aikido Video are alway run this way and people always punch and stab in a fully committed trust… do they?

The main problem with knife attack is that, often, the attacker will not draw the knife and show it around: if he does it’s like he might want to scare you, perhaps with the intent of robbin you. In many cases somebody might just draw the knife, while fighting, and simply stab you or cut you in the process: and in these cases people get injured or killed without having concious knowledge of that happening.
