Self defence against a knife strike

Attached will show and explain how to defend yourself against a knife strike.
Step 1 would be the most prominent and important step.When the assailant is charging at you aggressively,DO NOT panic but instead move forward.Immediately move and parry to either side as you avoid the cutting range while you block and grab the assailant's arm.
Step 2,you can follow up with any strikes like an eye gorge,an elbow or a knee to the groin.This weakens and distracts the assailant.
Step 3,to get rid of the knife from the assailant's hand,you can either push the blade downwards or deliver a knee onto his arm.The assailant will feel the pain and release the knife.
From there,you can either chose to run,call the police or pin him .
SIMILIAR TO OUR PREVIOUS BLOG ON KNIFE DEFENCE, THESE TECHNIQUES SHOULD
ONLY APPLY WHEN THERE IS NO OTHER PEACEFUL SOLUTIONS OR WAYS TO ESCAPE.
