To defend yourself against a knife attack, the sooner you can make your move the better. When you see the attacker pulling his knife, make your move to stop him before drawing his knife. Once he has the knife, that's a different story.
If you cannot do that, the attacker has the knife in his hand, you have to be careful. He can move and swing the knife in any direction. So make the distance, try to use your legs to kick the attacker. If you get any chance to get in, step forward and trap his hand that holds the knife.
Then you can strike him and disarm the knife. So what would you do in a situation like this? Please feel free to leave your comment below.
