If you felt obliged to try to disarm someone with a knife, (and I'm obviously not talking about just shooting them), what is the best way to go about it in an everyday situation?

Barehanded? Its very difficult to defend yourself in a situation with someone wielding a knife. I suppose try to get control of the hand with the knife, eye gouging, kicks to the groin.If you felt obliged to try to disarm someone with a knife, (and I'm obviously not talking about just shooting them), what is the best way to go about it in an everyday situation?

Thanks, thats a good point.Best way I've seen is just to have anything in your hand to make distance. Chair, beer bottle, screwdriver, scissors, a ball point pen, anything you can get your hands on and hold it outward as if fencing. People naturally want to manage distance better when you do that.
That way you're mostly going to get cut on your arms instead of in the gut and neck, then know how to fight and fight like hell. You will be cut up somewhere, that's unavoidable. But you might win the fight without fatal injury at least.
If you don't have a weapon, it's pretty tough. According to the martial arts instructors I've had, there really aren't any techniques that guarantee anything. But there are logical fundamentals:If you felt obliged to try to disarm someone with a knife, (and I'm obviously not talking about just shooting them), what is the best way to go about it in an everyday situation?
To counter a knife you just gotta have the bigger knife, martial arts wise though an arguement could be made for metsubishi for example but thats a bit silly xdIf you don't have a weapon, it's pretty tough. According to the martial arts instructors I've had, there really aren't any techniques that guarantee anything. But there are logical fundamentals:
First: Obviously, you must grab the attacker's hands—the ones holding the knife or whatever weapon they have on them.
Second: You have to control leg movement. In a struggle, the movement of your legs and your attacker’s legs is very important—for example, to avoid being knocked down and ending up in a disadvantageous position, or even to be the one who knocks the attacker down and gains the upper hand.
Third: Forget the image portrayed in martial arts movies; accept the fact that, even if you do everything right, it will be inevitable that you’ll sustain several cuts or even get stabbed (whether minor injuries or the most serious and potentially lethal ones).
Fourth: if you have the chance to get help, start screaming so people will hear you—this is especially important to keep in mind if you’re a woman. Protecting yourself doesn’t make you a coward.
And I think the most obvious one of all—so obvious that I wasn't even going to mention it—is that you should use everything at your disposal to defend yourself. In other words, if you can attack the genitals or the eyes, bite, scratch, spit, or even pull hair or clothes, don't hesitate for even a second to do so.
