Want to know a quick and easy way to fight with a knife (or similar weapon) that gives you an almost immediate advantage over almost anyone you fight -- even if you have no idea what you're doing?
Just use what I like to call the "flashlight" technique.
And that means, when you're fighting with a knife or similar object, you pretend the knife is a flashlight and you follow your opponent with it just as if you were constantly shining a light on him.
In other words, when your opponent moves, you keep the "light" on him.
If he goes left, you point your weapon at him as he moves left. If he goes right, you point your weapon at him as he moves right. Just like if you were holding a flashlight and were keeping the light on him.
I realize this may sound like kind of a "Mickey Mouse" fighting strategy, but I assure you it's not.
By keeping your "light" on your attacker, you keep him within range and you prevent him from pulling any surprise moves on you. And as an extra "bonus" you will probably frustrate the guy at the same time and cause him to make mistakes.
Anyway, this is very easy to practice on your own.
Just find someone to train with for five or ten minutes with this (I recommend using black magic markers, whoever gets marked up three times loses) and you will be giving yourself an enormous advantage over other people who do not know about this simple technique.
