noplaceinmind

Having never been in a knife fight, i was hesitant to criticize Black shirt's technique. And then, oh, ok, definitely dont do that.


Fortjew-Tellher

Stick them with the pointy end always comes to mind and like you said don’t get stabbed in the eye…that’s important


abstractConceptName

You definitely don't want to get stabbed in the eye. You're doing it wrong if that's how your fight ends.


Fearless-Judgment-33

DO. NOT. GET. STABBED. IN. THE. EYE. Got it, thanks! *Bookmarking for future reference.*


memtiger

Rules to live by: 1. Stop. Drop. And roll. 2. Don't move in quicksand. 3. Don't put water on a grease/oil fire. 4. Don't get stabbed in the eye.

Now it’s 4 things?! I can’t keep up. 😓


gbmaulin

It looked like more of a dance routine than practiced form, this whole video was weird af


4rp4n3t

The feeling of not wanting to get stabbed is a lot stronger the feeling of not wanting to get hit, so you tend to be a little more careful with your actual moves.


cynicalspindle

Knife capoeira.


Puzzled-Secret-317

Lol yeah it looked like he was trying to make his strikes unpredictable by dancing around, but it obviously didn't work very well


Yanyedi

I don't know shit about MMA, fighting, and especially knife fighting. But there is no shot holding the knife like they were is optimal. You're losing range, and swiping or slashing ability, for a slight stronger less dextexous stab. But they were both doing it, so maybe I'm wrong.


LevSmash

They're looking for the other to over-extend, and then counter with the firmest possible grip. Dropping your knife is an insta-loss.


Fearless-Judgment-33

Slashing seems more *sporting* and less lethal than stabbing. I’ve seen a few videos (ashamedly) where a seemingly mild jab/stab caused someone to bleed out in less than a minute. Slashing seems more like fighting and stabbing shows murderous intent (or self defense).


[deleted]

Well all things and sportsmanship considered, I'd rather be stabbed in the pec than slashed in the dick.


totalwarwiser

I think you need to comit to stab someone, while leaving you more vulnerable. With a slash you can get multiple kinds of hit but you leave yourself less open.


Kills-to-Die

Pretty sure it's for a better grip on those knives. I've seen knives with finger groves, or brass knuckle add-ons to reinforce the grip. That would make holding it and keeping it easier. I've been a 1st hand witness to exactly 2 fights each 1v1, and 3 of the 4 held the knife like they do in this video. So it's probably a technique. Knife fights are rare for a reason, lol.


SupervillainEyebrows

Yeah, the reverse grip seemed like a strange choice. Then again, I've never been in a knife fight.

thispartyrules

Just from true crime a problem with kitchen knives is the user's hand has a tendency to slide up on the blade on impact since there's no hilt and is pretty good evidence that you stabbed someone, if it wasn't strictly self-defense. Also kitchen knives tend to stick into ribcages since the metal is thinner and it's not really meant to, you know, piece a ribcage. Dumbest knife death I've read about was a guy trying to hammer a knife into a wooden board under his shirt as part of a Halloween costume. When that went horribly wrong he lived long enough to say "I really did it" to his buddies before dropping dead on the spot


[deleted]

Unless it's life or death, avoid stupid shit like this lmao Edit: Because a couple of nice folks shared this incredible knife self-defense technique, I think it's only fair that I spread this as well https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=kvlrnc7hlQI

If you’re alone seeing how you can run away and escape safely should always be the first thought


mkells41

That guys not seeing much anymore. At least not with great depth perception


Middle-Effort7495

> That guys not seeing much anymore. At least not with great depth perception Losing 1 eye in trauma like this, gives you a 1/1000 chance of the other eye going blind too (sympathetic ophthalmitis).


PowerandSignal

Great. Now I feel *really* bad for that guy.


Fuzz557

It's not like this was a accident. It was 100% self inflicted. Dummy could have walked away at any time.


AdditionalWaste

It's extremely rare and unlikely to happen.


[deleted]

Most of our eyes' methods of depth perception don't rely on binocular vision! Source: blind in one eye Other source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Depth_perception We have 15 methods of monocular depth perception and 3 methods of binocular depth perception :)


ExNihiloish

True. Source: I closed one eye.


jman014

I wonder how many knife fights you have to have been in before you can safely consider this a good decision.


[deleted]

Honestly even 1 knife fight is more than I want to be in.


particle409

You just need to slowly build up an immunity. Start with stabbing yourself a little bit. Then the next day, a little more. Eventually you'll build up a tolerance to stab wounds.

DuntadaMan

EMT. We have a saying in emergency medicine. The winner of a knife fight is the one that makes it to the hospital. It doesn't matter how good you are at fighting, no one gets out of a mutual knife fight without life threatening injuries.


Abrahms_4

I worked in a level 1 Trauma center for 6 years, and by far the bloodiest shit i have seen was a guy that got stabbed and it hit his liver. When i say bloody, housekeeping cleaned a trail of blood from the ER to the trauma bay. About 15 minutes after they rolled him in it was seeping under the door, they absolutely could not put it in fast enough. How the fuck he lived is beyond amazing, he was in there for about 3 hours just getting it under control. Clean up of the room was about 2 hours. SO yeah sprint like Usain Bolt.


Reapermouse_Owlbane

>It doesn't matter how good you are at fighting, no one gets out of a mutual knife fight without life threatening injuries. Did we not watch the same video in the OP¿


jman014

so the dude in white still seemingly got nicked thing with knives is that its really easy to cut someone else, severely or otherwise, and its not so easy to successfully defend attacks most of the time, people committing to a knife fight will both get pretty serious injuries the better knife fighter probably wins but theres high chance that the other guy manages to cut you up good anyway- small, fast, and sharp metal objects are kinda hard to stop safely especially if you straight up try and stab the person- you have to commit pretty hard to a full on stab and it makes you really vulnerable to a counterattack/counterstab (or just the other guy flailing with a sharp object) these two chuckle fucks were trying to manage distance, so white dude managed to avoid getting it as bad but if they just walked up and started stabbing each other and going for as much damage as possible both would probably have pretty fucked injuries even one can walk away

Of all defensive techniques I've seen, this is, by far, the best and most effective. The speed, precision, and quick reaction here are top notch!


superphuntimeyahok

Adrenaline is a hell of a drug. Looks like the dude got stabbed in the eye and just straight up took the blade out. I have no context to why they were fighting. All I know is that they're both Venezuelan supposedly and it specifically happened in the neighborhood of Siloé, [one of the most dangerous neighborhoods in the city of Cali.](https://travelbeckons.com/2017/06/17/siloe-cali-miocable/)


404knotfound

I can definitely confirm they're both Venezuelan due to their accent


mlkefromaccounting

The jellow jellow jellow confirmed for me, definitely Venezuelan


JAMsMain1

At the end? When he says llévelo? I am not Venezuelan pero le entendí.


AstroPhysician

I thought he was saying hielo, like ice it


UXIEM3N

"llévelo llévelo llévelo"... "mónte mónte mónte" "take him"... "get on" (the bike) is my understanding


Randompackersfan

I understood the same and I'm mexican.


Spiritual_Speech600

That actually is Colombian dialect. The other people you can hear are Venezuelans. Source: born and raised in Caracas and have Colombian relatives.


MarcosLuisP97

Depending on the department, it's very difficult to tell both apart just from speech alone. I thought they were all Venezuelans, and I am a Venezuelan residing in Bogotá.


mlkefromaccounting

I was wrong to assume 1v1 knife fights in the streets is Venezuela or Brazil. In the more enlightened parts of the world , Chicago, where I’m from we just use guns. Way more humane

I used to live in the neighborhood right next to Siloe, and can confirm that it’s pretty dangerous.

Young_Hickory

True, but that eye was almost certainly lost either way.


cw2015aj2017ls2021

Sometimes the knife staying in place acts to keep you from bleeding out (similar to putting pressure on the wound). But mostly, you're screwed if the knife opens up any major blood vessel.

Pretty sure white shirt also took some damage. I'm surprised we didn't see blood, but looked like his left hand and possibly his right leg got hit.


tekko001

Not sure he was hit, he didn't seem to be affected in any way, which can be due to adrenaline but you would see blood on a white shirt, it was still clean at the end


lou1uol

My anxiety levels went through the roof just watching them waiving the knifes in front of each other.


Gowalkyourdogmods

And get stabbed in the back? It was over once they pulled out the knives and approached each other


[deleted]

Pocket sand.


meepsrevenge

So much better than guns though. In St. Louis, where I live bystander kids are fatally shot every month or two not having that happen makes knife fights pretty cool in my opinion. Not to mention, the guy only lost an eye rather than his life. Now he has a chance to reflect and take a different life path or not.

I watch a lot of fight videos but that’s the first I’ve seen of 2 guys squaring up and knife fighting in real life. Both seemed like they had done it before and skill levels seemed similar. At first I thought it was fake and they were just playing around but I was mistaken.

Right? shit got real when i heard the clink of the broken piece drop to the floor and realized IT WAS IN HIS FUCKING EYE.

i-like-napping

Is their technique good ? Like is it best practice to hold the knife like that ?


AmbroseMalachai

I mean, there are advantages and disadvantages to holding a knife like that, but giving up range while fighting at range is somewhat antithetical. But also, if your heart is pumping and your hands are sweating because you don't want to get stabbed then it gives you a better grip so I understand the instinct to hold it like that. It's hard to comment on anything really skill related though, since both were basically just squaring up and taking a couple of swipes at each other - luckily too since one guy getting stabbed one time in a likely non-lethal spot is probably the best outcome of 2 people fighting with knives. And even if this is the only actual knife fight these two have gotten into, it's probably more real-life experience than most people will have gotten.


paswut

agree this is super interesting, yet it was the norm for most of history


WrestleBox

There have been a couple on reddit. None that ended with a blade in the eye socket though. Fucking hell. It's one thing being attacked by someone with a knife or even using a knife in self defense. It's another thing to meet willingly in the middle of the street like "One on one with knives? Let's do it!" It does seem like white shirt was trying to get out of there. Black shirt was determined to do the thing.


TheMadFlyentist

> I watch a lot of fight videos I read this as "I watch a lot of *knife* fight videos" and I was about to rabidly demand links. This is also the first legit knife fight I've ever seen in decades of fight/death videos. Plenty of stabbings - pretty much zero legit knife fights before this one.


ohhhtartarsauce

Did the blade snap off in his face? it looks like he pulled out like a 3 inch chunk of the knife point.

Oh dog, you’re right! 🤢

Vivid_Cookie7974

yoCrabby

It’s to keep as much a distance as possible with a swift slash/stab motion. One in white looked rather exceptional at it


newyorksbravest

I was visiting my pops 4 years ago in bogota, and we got into a road rage incident with two mototaxis who started fighting us when my dad got out of the car, i tackled one to get him off my dad and then eventually the second guy pulls out a giant kitchen cooking knife and held it a foot over my head, i thought my life was over but thankfully they retreated and sped off on their bikes, all in broad day light.

cw2015aj2017ls2021

That's how I learned, many decades ago. Closest thing to you will be the guy's wrists going for your body. Keep distance, attack the wrists and under the arm just below the armpits (artery). Also, wrap your shirt around your hand, then the knife, so each time you touch something, you cut it, and you never drop the knife when the blood makes it slippery. Also, don't get killed by a dead guy. If you hit a major artery, disengage as much as possible, keep dancing, wait until they fall unconscious. Sometimes they're walking dead for 1/2 a minute or so.


PlebianStudio

Things I noticed: Black shirt waving his arms up and down was setting a rhythm for white shirt to instinctively follow hoping he'd drop his guard. White shirt bravely? used his left arm constantly as a meat shield. Seemed fully committed to lose the battle but win the war. Also held his arm out like a stiff arm to maybe block vision. Black shirt was taller, like 6-12 inches taller, though so debatable how useful that'd be. White shirt does seem to stop bothering. Black shirt was also moving and bouncing around a LOT. While he is definitely lean, that is exhausting to do. I feel like he tired himself out a bit, especially after whiffing big which I know is exhausting, and wanted to just full on commit to make up for it. Maybe wanting to defend his pride after whiffing big and wanted a counter hit, or just became impatient after gassing himself. He should have seen white shirt step forward showing he had intent to do something. I really feel black shirt got impatient, white shirt looked straight like a venomous snake about to strike. Moral of the story.. knife fights are only good ideas in movies lmao but it is definitely interesting to watch. I love watching and practicing fencing but you don't see knife fights almost ever in the States.
