Grappling Knife Control Concepts with Aaron Jannetti and Eli Knight | Self Defense Concepts



This video is essentially a brief synopsis and illustration of the Knife Control Concepts seminar and project with Aaron Jannetti and myself. Aaron has done an excellent job producing this material, and the collaboration we have done for the ground portion makes for a comprehensive approach to this topic. The concepts are principle-driven technical drills and a functional approach that makes for a very practical training experience.

  1. What's Aaron's combat background? I'm always curious about where people learn and apply knife defense from

  2. Great video! Love it. Thank you a lot, I can practice Jiu-Jitsu at home. It's really great.

  3. Depending on distance, you're either getting a back leg round kick to the legs, a front side kick to the gut, and then I'm running away! Leg is longer than the arm, hence the kicks first… sorry TKD here, with some BJJ training 😃 Knives are bad!

  4. I'm 58, I started training in the martial arts in the late 1970's and have seen all the fads come and go (Kung Fu JKD, Ninjitsu,, Silat, SCARS, Krav Maga…etc)
    What you guys are doing with knife self defense is simply amazing. This is truly a game-changer. Keep up the good work.
    Hopefully you will hit the seminar circuit, because I'd love to attend a workshop.

  5. I never leave my house without my knives and my pepper spray in hand. If someone attacks with a knife to rob me, which is very common in Brazil, I use the pepper spray. Knives are the backup option. No SANE person wants to get into a knife fight. Period. Use the pepper spray and spray and walk away. Good video. Thanks.

  6. I would love to see more of this content, also with guns. Reminds me of some of the stuff I've seen on Warrior Poet Society and the "5 Ds + 1" that they talk about on Active Self Protection. Great to see some more self-defence based jiu jitsu … with the addition of judo/wrestling takedowns and the acknowledgement of strikes.

  7. Whats interesting to me is to be effective in any techniques that might stand even a small chance of working against a knife you need to be years deep into JJ. If you can not control someone without a knife don't worry about with a knife, if you can't defeat one attacker don't worry about multiple attackers. This is the point so many people miss, learning how to fight is a long road but luckily with the right school can be one of the most fun and rewarding roads to go down.

  8. What do you guys think about Funker Tactical's knife defense video with Sal from IDO Consulting? I'm not the biggest fan of Funker, but that video always really stood out to me

  9. 06:20 Not as easy as you'd think to run, especially if you haven't trained to do MA/SD or to run (or even if you train to run to apply that skill in a SD scenario. To run has you doing mental math of the likelihood of getting stabbed/slashed in the back while trying to run away vs getting slashed/stabbed while taking the initiative to fight. Also neccessary to train to be able to disengage after creating an opening instead of continuing to fight, due to tunnel vision (or "seeing red") in high stress life or death scenarios.
    Your athleticism vs theirs' compared to the distance beteen will be a factor in that mental math. I think icymike's video on why just run is bad self defense advice is very applicable.

    However good video.
    I'd be interested in an in person seminar, or a school that trains in these concepts, rather than an instructional though.

  10. This is bullshit. Left hook. A guy who knows how to fuck you up will not show you the blade and you won't see it. The fact that you've got the guy in a Russian grip tells me you want to WRESTLE with the dude. Crap. You don't take the knife away fast enough. You will lose as soon as that left hook smashes your fucking jaw or he grabs your nuts and squeezes the fuck out of it. you're going to have to drop this guy fast in that Russian hold if you want to control him. And then it's ground work but if you let go of the knife, you become steak tartare. We've drilled this entry and it's designed for big guys who want to wrestle, not for people who want to take the knife away and stab him back.
