effective knife defense:

run, forrest, ruuuuun....!


I'm the first to agree - when facing a knife you don't want to be there.

However, you also don't want your back to a knife and if you do run better make sure you can run faster.

Which reminds me of the old bear joke. Replace bear with knife wielding nutcase.

Two guys are walking in the woods when they round a corner and come face to face with a large hungry bear. They scream turn around and start running. The bear shrugs and figuring, scrawny as they are, a light snack would not be remiss. So the two guys are running as fast as they can and the bear is loping after them. One man turns to the other an says.

Man 1: Gasp Wheeze Christ we'll never outrun the bear.

Man 2: What do you mean, I only have to outrun you.
