UFC pro fighter with knife vs army ranger with gun (good learning here)

[Mr. Goodbar]

I carry a knife as well, if it truly is a fight for my, up close and personal then a knife will be used before a firearm

Interesting. My firearm is meant to keep from getting in that situation when coupled with situational awareness. May not always be possible of course but that's what it's there for. Wonder if it would be easier for the aggressor to get the firearm or the defender to draw the firearm from a rear hip carry position rather than appendix. Didnt watch the end of video so not sure if they did that.

To be fair, if you watch a bit of UFC you'll see that even these professional fighters get taken to the ground on a regular basis.

They get taken to the ground because they have close and clench.

That"s why there is penalty for stalling in wrestling. In a 32 foot diameter circle, with wrestlers of the same size, it is nearly impossible for one to take down the other one, if one of them refuses to close.

So you run away from anyone who gets within arms length of you? Seems like a very strange way to live life. The point is that it's always possible for someone to get the jump on you, no matter how good you are, if you don't see them coming.

No, I just shoot anyone that gets within 15 feet of me because the internet tells me that's my safety zone. My knees are too bad to run.

The point of the discussion is that the original video overstates the advantage of the dude with the knife, because they are starting in the equivalent of the "down" position in wrestling.

No one needs to "get the jump" on me - they can stand 30 feet away and shoot me and I'd never know it happened.

Right, I believe the point to focus on is to train for the fight that you can win, not to abandon all hope just because the US Gov could drone strike you.

That's when you go for the 2 handed overhead throw of desperation.
