Re: Poll: How physically effective do you think aikido is against a real knife attack

Quite often the knife weilding assailant comes away with cuts from the weapon. Unless they're really well-trained in knife retention and have practiced cutting material similar to the real thing often (and having a well-designed knife) they cut themselves. I grew up hearing that the rule is: When a knife is involved in an attack everyone is liable to get cut.
