Now all we need is "dude, if someone attacks you with a knife, just let them stick it in your arm and then kick their ass."

Hrmm, yeah, since that is what the military trains you to do (at least according to 2 friends in the Marines Corps and one in infantry), that has to be the dumb, non sensicle thing to do.....

 

Here's the knife defense section of the military combatives field training manual. Oddly, it doesn't seem to mention anything about intentionally getting stabbed so you can kick some ass. In fact, although it mentions the likelihood of being cut in a knife fight, it clearly states that stabbing is likely to cause shock and instant unconsciousness, and is to be avoided. Wow, imagine that, common sense in the military. The rest of it looks to me like fairly traditional MA knife disarmament technique.

I'll leave conclusions as to the veracity of your "friends" accounts as an excercise for the reader . . .

 

Why not go for a full house and get stabbed in both arms and see if you can slash open both veins?
You could paint your attacker red so he would be easy to identify!

 

Ok, people that's enough blah blah blah for this thread. No thing more to see everyone so let's move it along now, thank you.
