The problem I see with knife defense. Given that for some reason I can't run or appease the attacker, is that realistically I could see myself having a semi decent chance to stop their knife, grab the wrist, etc (all of which are unlikely, I'd stand a much better chance of getting stabbed, not knowing what I'm doing). But then imagining it was some big nasty guy fighting me, the problem would be that once I have his knife hand, then what? I could try to grapple him, and would probably fail, but if I did succeed, I probably couldn't hold him down, especially if he had buddies. I would of course attack him in an attempt to get him to release the knife, but that probably wouldn't work. Could go for a groin shot, but those are over rated in effectiveness, and good luck getting one in on someone who has any sort of natural fighting ability. Seems like a guarenteed loss.
