First of all defense vs. Jab and cross like this has a stupid tactical assumption! If the jab is deflected and the defender is moving forward and not retreating or presenting himself in same range but different angle the cross should never be sent and if he did not retract the jab and got his hand caught he should immeditely move to grappling and pull to a different angle to take the attacker out of balance so this is complete garbage choreography! Here however the attacker s...kipped the jab and moved directly to a cross, so the defender should have been prepared for the jab that could have came before and blocked the possibility and counter attacked before the cross arrived at all! With the stick defense, the attacker is using long sticks attacking in a short range so he is using the advantage of the range extension and slowing down his attack at that range. If the attacker was properly attacking and if the master choreographer would have put any thought to this, he might come a step closer to a true hand to hand combat master and not crap choreography. Then some Sport Judo techniques are presented with have nothing to do with self defense and some Krav Maga 360 blocks and same time counter strike are presented claiming its MMA.. Well MMA is collection of athletes trained by many masters of combat sports and martials arts and they are all mixed to the point good and bad moves are at even amount so there could never be a uniformed approach for self defense or sports fighting. https://www.facebook.com/UFC208/videos/1225680091127885 See more

The Knife Chapter in the Israel Defense Forces first Krav Maga book in 1967 Reading the Old IDF Krav Maga Manual from 1967 Instructions and the book itself has ...138 photos, so it’s not as easy to tell exactly every move according to the instructions. At the same time makes you wonder with the collection of photos if it was done after Immi left the IDF, or they did not consult him enough were in a hurry to produce a documentary for the library, but the instruction says to run with a top down hold while crossing legs as running or more precisely with cumbersome description to leap forward and cross your legs starting with the knife top down in the right hand but ending with the left foot in front grabbing the opponent's shirt with the left hand, and first stabbing him in the ribs and only the second stab to the clavicle. I think it’s very possible that someone were describing what was going on in the photos and assumed its one drill or took a short cut. I learned that you can stab either in the neck or the rib preparing for any possible defensive block, but of course if you were to stab a soldier in combat in the close range your neck would be preferable as his combat vest filled with magazines might stop the knife! The order of the photos however with top down hold demonstrate rib stab first, so it’s possible someone put the photos in certain order and someone then put the text later. Another possibility is if the attacker is taller as you are running and he is standing that might work better, but still it does not seem logical. The defense vs. the Top down prescribed was a kick to the groin and as the kicking foot comes down switching to a knee kick to the head while grabbing the attacker's shirt or head. Eli Avikzar I guess changed it later to hammer punch and at certain times said you can do both. Seems like if you are stepping diagonally under the knife for the groin kick for greater safety, it’s better to use your arm and not get caught in the close range standing on one foot in case the attacker managed to grab your legs and try and trip you. Then there are photos of the 360 block vs. top down knife stab with grabbing the wrist and pushing the arm forward in a downward circle to prevent follow up rib stab with counter attack after the arm is controlled downward. There is no text regarding these photos and no explanation how to drill them. Following to that is vague description of bottom up stab, and how to drill the defense by stepping forward and to the left, blocking with the middle of the forearm in the middle of the attacker's forearm, and when grabbing it for a cavalier counter attacking. The training steps are step to stop the knife, grab and punch, noose and kick. Not sure if it’s a short description of pulling and taking out of balance while kicking or not. However according to the photo after the punch he is grabbing the knife holding fist with two hand and bending it so the attacker is bending and ready to receive the kick without being able to escape. I added emphasis for advice and experience not to lift the attacker’s arm up to be more efficient and prevent further counter taking out of balance and reversal of fortune it’s just not listed as part of these instructions. Immi is keeping the cavalier at in front of his heart a little below as he kicks. Next a description of Straight stab knife hold as you are taught blade horizontal knife butt in the life line in the palm fingers from the side and thumb on top. Funny but he says that as you execute straight stab, the left foot (cross leg) is hovering. Then you retract and pull the knife out. Many people thinking they are knife expert think you should never stab standing only on one foot, lol , but if the cross leg is hovering, this is what is actually happens when you stab. The text is describing having the cross hand around the knife holding hand almost like when someone is ready to throw the knife from hand to hand trying to baffle. I think that the writer described what the soldier did in the photo. Next photo Immi is demonstrating a straight stab against a top down stab. So they were probably limited and editing the order of the photos they had. Next the text is describing of front kick with the right leg to the center of the advancing opponent to the center of his body from the stomach to the head. This is a direct approach almost like the scissors kick vs. a bottom up stab. He is calling this kick defensive kick but what it means it’s a heart stomp kick to the center body. Top down knife stab was called regular hold and bottom up was called Arab hold. Next is description of top down knife slash with its training step. Step forward lift the knife over the shoulder with the blade pointing up, and then slash the neck with a spooning motion bending the palm inward. The hold is described as more in the hand than the straight (protruding out of the hand). The description takes short cuts and say hold it like a straight stab but them bring the knife handle in more into your hand. Then when you passed the neck bring it back for reverse slash with reversed motion while you are bringing your body to erect position again (closing the gap created with the cross leg). The instructions are for the defender to hold his arms down with knife in right hand. Then to hit the attacker's wrist with the blade and move his right foot backward and he is doing it in the photo. That was a glitch in the photo and in writing the instructions. The defender did erroneously moved his right foot backward as he was blocking a move which contradicts his left side evading the knife as the knife wrist is being hit into that direction. And this is the last page of the 1967 IDF Krav Maga Book! There is nothing more here folks. Finally, keep in mind that the straight stab is the most efficient stab as it pokes your body from maximum distance at the exact time the attacker lunges and his arm provides maximum straight line extension. Therefore its important not to move your body at all and wait for the moment you could possibly extend your arm and deflect the wrist, in this case with your knife. Then you just continue extending your arm to counter poke the attacker! As for the front kick vs. straight stab, it might work if you are lucky and the attacker is running. But if the attacker is standing with a straight stab knife holding hand infront and is preparing to surprise lunge, he is also preparing to block you and ounter attack or change the direction of his stab or repeat stab. Your kick might be passing close to the knife and he could stab your leg. He might also stab you as you lunge for the kick as he is moving first and waiting to stab after he complete the advance and not at the same time. He can see you moving for a kick and aim to where you are going. Roundhouse kick to the groin under the knife if he is aiming to your neck, or side kick to the knee after moving diagonally forward if the stab is low might be a better choice. If you are standing on your side, side kick to the knee lunging below the knife should work. But the best defense against a straight stab is aiming the middle of your forearm to flip his wrist from the side, and only after the initial arm deflection lunge forward to get closer, control the arm and counter attack with a punch, while pulling the controlled arm with a cavalier and as you pull finish with a groin kick, extract the knife and slash the throat to finish. All these techniques are not in that book!

The Cervical Spine is one of the best Knockout Killing Pressure Points. In order to reach behind the attacker's head a groin kick would bend him in half letting us reach this pressure points from the front!
