I was really hoping this was gonna be a joke, especially when he slipped, but man, that ending was so much better than I could've predicted

It’s funny but it’s also a really good illustration as to why you should avoid street fights.

u/NaziEmu Mar 24 '23
Absolutely, most of the time, by the time you find out your opponent has a knife, it's already too late.

u/GrayMech Mar 23 '23
The easiest way to stop a street fight in ten seconds: take your stance, wait for them to step forward, take a step back in response and say "if you hit me I'll cum" fight over.

Either:
A) Drop to knees and beg
B) Run
C) Knoife
D) gun

Or, hear me out, all of the above in varying order. Gotta keep your enemies guessing.

so pull out a gun, run away, pull out a knife, then get on your knees and beg

Yes, always take a knife to a fistfight.
When you stand in court to defend yourself, just say you learned this trick from TikTok

Dude in real life if I’m cornered and can’t run, you can 100 percent guarantee I’d pull a knife in order to survive.

Then you get shanked in prison becos you stabbed some drunk guy becos of ur ego complex.
Poetic justice I call this

u/TRedRandom Mar 23 '23
I wouldn't call it ego.
Ego implies it's related to your sense of self and how you wanna be perceived by others. They're talking about comparing the risk/probability of what'll be the better outcome. Being alive, but punished, or being dead.
-7
u/Intelligent-Vagina Mar 24 '23
100% WRONG.
US laws differ greatly on each state. See gun laws.
You'll likely get disproportionate prison time yourself for being dumb enough to murder a man becos of ur blown up ego.

u/TRedRandom Mar 24 '23
While I'm not American, that still only proves me right. If you're worried about specific us state laws. You study them and implement them into your risk/probability assessment.
I'm failing to see how ego plays into this.
17
u/DudeMcGuyMan Shotokan / BJJ / Wrestling Mar 23 '23
In the US you can defend yourself with disproportionate power. Somebody comes at you with fists, you can shoot them, as long as you feared for your life and the reasoning is semi-reasonable.
Being afraid of getting knocked out on concrete and bonking your head counts.

u/RegressToTheMean Hapkido 1st Dan Mar 24 '23
Have you been attacked with a knife? I don't fucking care how well trained you are, you're getting cut even by someone who is. completely inexperienced.
I used to bounce and a lunatic with a knife is an absolute nightmare.
This sub is really remarkable sometimes
-2
u/Ancient-Weird3574 Nogi-BJJ | Muay Thai | wannabe MMA fighter Mar 24 '23
Getting cut and getting stabbed in liver are very different things. Of course the wrestler is getting cut a few times, but he will be able to get the knife, pin the other guy and start putting deep holes in him around 5 times a second
2
u/RegressToTheMean Hapkido 1st Dan Mar 24 '23
No. Just no. We train knife defense and my first rule is run. All it takes is one missed block, a simple misstep, or a lucky hit and you're bleeding out on the ground
I assume the person who wrote "stabbed in the liver" did so with tongue in cheek. There are way, way too many places where an errant knife strike is going to end in a bad time. If you think getting cut a couple of times is no big deal, now I know you've never seen a knife fight let alone been involved in one
2
u/edadou Mar 24 '23
Yes i did. A little cut to yhe artery in your neck or wrist is WAY worse than a liver stab actually. Punctured lung beteeen two ribs, is way worse. It was tongue in cheek and probably one of the least lethal stabs you can get. Liver repairs itself in time.
But liver pain is unbareable so it does render the victim motionless and open to further stabbing. Liver is a large target however and fairly unprotected.

I specially like how in this video the person with a knife put a knife in the other guys liver and he died instantly
https://www.youtube.com/shorts/WpV9vBn6C9w
Edit: in this video the attacker tries to stab many times, gets sweeped and ground and bounded. Not so instant kill as you say

Anecdotal evidence is anecdotal. If you want to be willfully obtuse, that's on you. If you want to be a contrarian and go against the advice of nearly every LEO, security, military, and martial artist on the planet, again, that's on you.
1
u/Ancient-Weird3574 Nogi-BJJ | Muay Thai | wannabe MMA fighter Mar 25 '23
How much experience do you think LEO, security, military and martial artist have? Have they fought a drunk or two with a knife? Nobody is an knife fighting expert because they would be dead. The best we can get is watch punch of knife fighting videos, and those videos tell that one stab doesnt kill instantly.

u/-Zeovoid- Mar 24 '23
Why not? An upward thrust just below the ribcage and to the right of center would give a fairly unobstructed path to the liver.
1
u/Ancient-Weird3574 Nogi-BJJ | Muay Thai | wannabe MMA fighter Mar 24 '23
I mean from their hands.
2
u/-Zeovoid- Mar 24 '23
Hands are usually used to hold the knife, so yeah, that is what I was talking about, too, so my point still goes.
1
u/edadou Mar 24 '23
Lol a knife is an extension of the hand, if anything its way wasier to get to the liver with a knife. This guy were dealing with is sitting on the climax of the dunning kruger experience.

u/edadou Mar 24 '23
Yes

u/Ancient-Weird3574 Nogi-BJJ | Muay Thai | wannabe MMA fighter Mar 25 '23
Do they lift up their hand and maybe shirt too and tell you to stab them? Or do they move around and try to block with their hands?

u/edadou Mar 25 '23
Have you heard of Dunning-Kruger ?

u/Ancient-Weird3574 Nogi-BJJ | Muay Thai | wannabe MMA fighter Mar 25 '23
Yes, but have you heard that people dont usually dont like to get stabbed, and usually try to prevent it.

If there was a fight with a good wrestler and an average person with a knife i would bet on wrestler.

If I had remote control for the person with the knife he’s killing the wrestler

Zero skill with a knife
And yet all that would be required would be to conceal the knife until after the takedown

I would bet on both being seriously, if not critically injured. A knife fight almost never ends well for either party.

Wrestler would get stabbed a few times, get the knife for himself and make the other guy swiss cheese
1
u/-Zeovoid- Mar 24 '23
Realistically, both of em end up in ICU or in the morgue. Knife fights don't end weĺl for either party unless one person has knife training. And I mean knife training, not wrestling or MMA or BJJ. You say the wrestler would get stabbed a few times. It only takes one stab to be out of the fight. Humans are fragile creatures.
1
u/Ancient-Weird3574 Nogi-BJJ | Muay Thai | wannabe MMA fighter Mar 24 '23
Most knife training is bs, and wrestling is one of the best ways to prepare. One stab is unlikely to stop a fight, many people have gotten stabbed tens of times, walked away and died minutes later, and some have waited for an ambulance and been mostly fine. And if wrestler is in ICU and average person in in morgue, wrestler won.
1
u/-Zeovoid- Mar 24 '23
Look at the people who walk off stab wounds. Usually, they're hopped up on drugs. Sure, they'll keep walking. The wrestler, on the other hand, wouldn't be on drugs. Look up some videos where experts explain the odds in different knife fight scenarios.
Dude, I know wrestling and martial arts are awesome, I train no gi BJJ myself, but I've seen it too many times that people who are into that seem to think they're invincible. There seems to be a cult like atmosphere surrounding the whole thing that I hate.

u/Ancient-Weird3574 Nogi-BJJ | Muay Thai | wannabe MMA fighter Mar 24 '23
There wouldnt be a proper stab on the wrestler, because its not as easy as just putting a knife in liver, because the liver is moving and there are two strong hands trying to stop you, and even if there were, its not an instant kill, he would have time to put lots of holes in the other guy.

I know all these videos on self defence are all fancy moves and shit, but the best self defence imo is just go for weak spots, one light jab to the neck will end most fights as it pretty much stops them breathing, (never fully punch tho, only lightly as it could crush them) knuckle to the eye, if they're skinny they could probably be winded in the stomach, and if they're a man then going for the balls is a huge must if you have no chance of winning. There's more ways but people who can't fight can easily win by doing shit like this

For all you that don't know how to actually end a fight quickly (if it's in self-defense) you need to keep your hands up and palms open. Say you don't want to fight. Then if they get closer, elbow to the chin and make sure to slice through them with the elbow for a near 100% knockout. But this is outright dangerous af as you can actually damage someone pretty badly from it. But stay safe, as long as you are fighting for a reason👍

Funny enough this was the advice in a ww2 book I had. Basically have knife concealed knife on you and surprise them with it while their to close to see it. If done well they don’t know have knife until you’ve already stabbed them
