Knife attacks are brutal
This is a situation that you really don’t want to end up being in. However, it does happen, and
you need to be prepared. So here’s what to do in a fight if you get stabbed.
Firstly, if your attacker has a knife and you end up getting injured, you need to stay focused.
Obviously having your hands covered in blood and losing blood is not an ideal situation to be
in. But it’s important to stay focused and finding an opportunity to escape as quickly as
possible.
While most people think that you should focus on disarming your attacker, it’s not always the
obvious choice.
Especially if your hands are covered in blood making it that much more difficult to grab a hold
of the knife. So, what is the best solution?
In a knife attack, act quickly and fight back
The important thing to remember is that you need to act fast. You’ve been injured, so
chances are you are using twice as much energy to defeat your attacker.

Therefore, every attempt to defeat your attacker must be quick and efficient. That way, you
can get an opportunity to escape and get proper help.
There are a few knife defense tactics you can use in a situation like this. You can use your
arms as defense mechanism to block the knife from causing more severe damage to your
injuries.
You can also strike your opponent to defend yourself. However, it’s important that while you
are striking your attacker, you are aware of where the knife is at all times.
Learn footwork skills for self-defense
Another great self-defense technique is to use your footwork skills. Don’t stay still in one
place. Doing so will give your attacker the opportunity to further inflict damage on you.
So, keep moving. This will distract your attacker and make it that much more difficult for him
to stab you and hurt you.
There are several knife techniques you can use in a situation like this. To see an example on
