i want to start learing how to knife fight

Exactly, makes you think doesn't it!!! we all train in knife defence and use of the blade, but how many of us actually look at the possible outcome. People who want to learn how to knife fight!! go for it.... but don't train with dull edge blades, go live, see what happens. Have fun!
 
Find a good teacher. Live blade sparring is a bit extreme for a beginner, or even advanced. But knife defense with live blades, that is something you definitly need to do when you can. You don't want to develope a false securrity with always training with dull knives. You also need a partner you can trust.
 
Stickmaster and edge fighter have it exactly right. If you want to get a feel for knife fighting, go ahead and stab yourself a few times. Give yourself a few nice, deep gouges on your face. Because that's exactly what you can expect to happen if you get in a knife fight, or worse. Barring a miracle, you are going to get cut.

How many fist fights have you ever been in where the other guy didn't land a single punch? Even if you totally dominate a fist fight, the other guy almost always get a couple punches in. Envision the last fight you were in, and then imagine the exact same thing happening with blades instead of fists. You got stabbed in the face, didn't you? Maybe the temple? Maybe the stomach?

Knife "fighting" is something to be avoided at all costs. I guess it'd be a good idea to have a grasp of basic technique of you found yourself in a "do or die" situation. However, I kind of think that training for "knife fighting" would serve to reinforce a "stand and fight" response to a situation that would be better handled by getting the hell out of Dodge. Or pulling a pistol.
 
What if you can practice knife fighting with a knife that can really hurt you? At the same time it's safe enough to practice on a daily basis. Go to youtube and look up shock knife. (I'm at work right now so I can't copy a link here.) The dogbrothers are big adovcates of it and it looks very impressive.

Learn realistic knife defense without shedding blood. The future is here my friends.
 
No, don't actually cutt yourself, common be serious. There are so many good people out there to learn from. Your best bet would be to find someone that might be in the military since you are. Ask around. The net is a great place to find teachers and schools. Since your in the military and moving around alot, you may not want to get involved with a traditional system because it would take to long to learn, unless you tell your teacher what you need it for.
 
Hello Mr.Edge Fighter, you are my hero!!!!!!!!!!!!! The shock knife is a very impressive tool to bring out reality knife fighting.My teacher told us about this and we could not believe the advances they are making to get us close to the real thing.What is your background in the martial arts? Are you single????? I live in the city of Chicago.Perhaps you and I could talk about martial arts over a few drinks? I know this great club that we could go dancing as well. Sorry, I digress. Yes, anything that can help us come closer to the reality of knife fighting without it being real is a great thing.
 
Nice response moonwilson, I agree that its important to learn some real basic knife defence but don't ever fool yourself into thinking that you have the situation under control. I will have to check out the shock knife (hadn't heard of it before so thanks for the info).
