Welcome back to Self Defense Situation - What Do You Do? - Part 47. In this series of posts, we usually talk about different situations and what options you have in that situation to defend yourself.

To defend against any attack, sometimes you have to move, step to the side or step backward. When you face a situation like this in real life, you may not always have enough space to move freely.

When you see a knife on someone's hand, you do not want to do something that invites him to stab you. The attacker might have different purposes. For example, he wants to threaten you or rob you. If he gets what he wants, he might not attack you with the knife.

Sometimes you might not get the chance to talk to the person. He starts stabbing you. Let's watch this video. All video credit goes to Nick Drossos.

In this video, you see the attacker has a knife, and he already attacked the guy. If you are in a situation like this, you have to take action immediately. There is no turning back. The attacker will continue attacking you. So if you can trap his arms and disarm the weapon, that's better.

When you grab the attacker's hand, you can apply pressure on his hand so that he cannot hold the knife anymore. Dealing with a situation like this is difficult. There are a couple of things you can do in this situation. When you grab the attacker's hand, use your whole body to move and take control, not just your hand. If you use your whole body, it will be difficult for him to get rid of this.

You can use your surroundings against the attacker. If there is a wall, you can hit him against it. You can always strike him. But when you grab the attacker's hand, all he wants is to take control and get his knife back. So don't let that happen.

When you take the knife away from the attacker's hand, you are in control. Now the attacker will try to save himself. He can run away like you watch in the video. Thank you so much for reading this post.
