Gun vs. Knife – Two Professionals Break it Down
I am very much a fan of Instructor Zero (of Funker Tactical Fame) and Doug Marcaid a (also of Funker Tactical Fame). In their first meeting, Doug puts the “21-foot rule” to shame, taking the best of Zero (especially considering drawing from concealment.)
Then, something interesting happens, Zero starts exploring non-traditional methods that include falling down (which is not typically something an instructor will tell you to do in most situations.) As the series evolves, it certainly broke my conventional thinking.
Episode two is below, but you can catch the whole series Funker Tactical’s YouTube channel.

Great vids, I appreciate the exercise in options.
Did they HAVE to waste the first 40% of the vids with no vid?
Vigilance and distance. Native Americans, Moros, Chinese, all presented this concern. One on one your spray and baton. Arm gaunlets, gloves, groin, and collar protection. The armpit. If you survive the grapple consider your shealth knife/automatic. Almost impossible defense against an experienced assassin. These situations gave us the 1911/.45ACP, 1907 Riot Gun, and 1906 "Thirty Cal". Excellent books on the subject.
