Close [embedded material] Most people won’t find themselves in a knife defense situation. It is possible, but it is not uncommon. It happens more often than you might think. You can do a quick YouTube search to find knife attacks. It is possible, even though it is unlikely. Getting out and in quickly is the key to reducing prevention. Snap cuts and thrusts are great for this. RELATED STORYVIDEO: How to Escape Headlocks in Street Fights Using Snap Cuts & Thrusts in Knife Defense Scenario. This video is about defensive knife use. These techniques can be used offensively but are more suited for defensive purposes. This article should not be considered legal advice. Every situation is unique. Your lawyer and the District Attorney will determine the legality and legality of your use of a defensive knife. Avoidance is the best option in any self-defense situation. First, avoid any knife-wielding attacker. A knife can cause serious injuries, from minor to fatal. It is best to avoid giving the knife a chance. If you can’t get out, then quick and effective defensive measures are your best option. Even though there are many knife fighting methods, they can be difficult to master. It is important to be able to take simple defensive measures that pose the lowest risk. The snap cut and thrust are quick and easy to enter and exit, and the attacker will have to wait less time to target your arm. Snap cuts and snap thrusts protect your space and prevent attackers from entering. These techniques are very similar in nature to the boxing jab. Only difference is that you now have a knife in hand. Snap Thrusts A snap thrust is similar to a jab in boxing. You are not aiming downward; you are simply shooting straight out the knife, point first. You want your hand to be palm down, much like a punch. This will increase your strength and protect your wrist’s vital arteries. To twist the blade as you pull it out, turn your hand so that it is palm-up. You will then create what Michael Janich, Martial Blade Concepts, calls a “C cut”. This opens the wound channel more than if the blade goes straight in and comes back out. This causes more damage and may slow down the attacker’s speed. Snap thrusts are designed to target large areas such as the neck, center mass, and neck. While you can target the arms, they are a smaller target and will move quickly. Although legs are easier to target than arms, they pose a similar problem. Snap cuts are similar to snap thrusts. They can be done quickly. Snap cuts are not intended to penetrate like snap thrusts. Snap cuts are great for incoming attacks on arms and legs. Snaps can also be used on the body but are more effective at targeting incoming attacks. Snap cuts should not ever be confused with slashes. Slashes are larger movements that have the intention to penetrate as much as possible. Slashes are more like a cross punch in boxing, while snap cuts snap out and back into place like a jab. Snap cuts are performed with a saber grip. This is similar to cracking a whip and forcing the tip into the subject matter. Snap cuts are performed by hyperextension of the elbow and pushing the tip forward using the thumb. The motion is similar to a whip or snake striking. Snap cuts can be made with a drop-point blade, but the Wharncliffe blade is ideal for this type. For defense of your space, snap cuts and thrusts can be fast and efficient in dealing with incoming threats. Footwork can increase effectiveness and improve the angle. It is important to quickly move in and out so that you don’t feed your attacker any food. Keep it real to stay safe. Sign up for the Personal Defense World newsletter today to stay in the loop!
