What Does A Realistic Knife Fight Look Like?

 

Certainly nothing like any of the stage managed, pressure tested, BS you see all over Youtube or at some training website with cool music being played in the background. From October 2021 in NYC, not a lot of moving in close to clinch and grapple, or take someone to the ground.

Although the use of a backpack as a shield was certainly and obviously effective for the user, and detrimental to the other guy.

While I would have liked to see how this was all set off, I'm going to go out on a limb and suggest that there was some sort of escalatory verbal exchange involved rather than a surprise attack. I would also doubt that either of these guys have ever taken a knife fighting class.

In any event, check out the video for yourselves.
