Okay, so I've got a bipolar person leaving calls that he's going to knife me. He means serious business. I've already alerted his parents (we're both 17) but I want to have a good backup. Suppose he does attack me with a knife, and I'm unarmed. I am a blackbelt at Tae Kwon Do, but I doubt it'll help, it's all about looks. Any help here?
Pic 100% the wrong way.

Tea Kwon Do is sort of the K-mart of martial arts.
Anyway... Be cautious and get a laser gun.

OP here, if only.
I want to stay away from any sort of weaponry. I always have my pocketknife on me, just in case, but I figure /fit/ would have a better idea of what part of the body would be the best to hit, and how. I was thinking maybe try to hit him in the temple to knock him out. But if I haul off with the adrenaline in me, I could kill him.
Fuck.

Call the police. report him. your TKD will not be effective against a knife. In fact, almost any MA is not effective against a knife.

I agree. Unless he's like the guy at the circus and can hurl it at you with deadly accuracy.

Don't be a pussy.

Absorb the first stab (make sure it's nowhere vital), wrestle the knife off of him and cut his eyes out.

Another direction would be nun-chucks. If you can wield a pair with any technique you could bust his hand into 38 pieces before he got withing stabbing range.

anybody whos serious about knowing how to handle a knife attack will know this.

if you dont have a gun. fucking run away. no matter the skill of you and lack of skill of them, you will get FUCKED UP by someone with a decent sized knife.

You have to really measure how serious you think he is; most people with half a brain understand that if they stab someone, they're going to jail for a while, so they'll threaten you, but won't actually hurt you.

If you think said guy is srs, then you either need to avoid him like the plague, or get a gun. There isn't any realistic way for you to come out the scuffle without getting cut or stabbed if he has a knife and you don't.
If it does come down to it, look for something heavy to throw at him or hit him with like a chair or something until you can GTFO.

I think OP deserves kudos for realizing that his martial art isn`t going to save the world one day.

Good for you OP.

First off, run if you must. I`d also suggest reporting to the police but sometimes that`s like trying to steal honey from a shitload of bees.

I`m glad you realize you`re not going to be able to dodge every swipe like Jackie Chan and then disarm him and throw him into a bunch of stacked up palettes, because what will happen is he will run at you and he will stab you. If you`re faster, run away. If not, call police now.

You should avoid him, and also spread rumors around your circle that you're packing heat. It helps if you actually have a gun to show someone, and then they do all the necessary convincing to everyone else.

That could make things escalate though and the crazy dude might go out and buy a gun. Then OP is in even more shit.

They're 17. If anything, the guy threatening him is just trying to show how macho he is. I'm not saying for him to go to the whole world bragging that he's packing, I'm saying there should be rumors and whispers circulating into people's ears. OP should not put himself into the situation where he has contact with the bi-polar guy at all. If the whispers do their job right, the guy will think rationally for a bit when he's calmed down (if he's just moody), and there's a chance that somebody else will get involved. Actually this is preferable. A concerned student that hears what's going on is more likely to tattle-tell to the school administration, and they'll get involved.

Actually, the more that I think about it, OP should just cut the horseshit and snitch to the school admins. He's 17, he'll be tried as an adult.

Unless you plan on carrying a baseball bat all the time, your best option is probably your two legs. I don't mean TKD kicking so run for your life first then deal with it later, if he tries to pull something funny.

Then sue the shit out of him, and you will be happy with it.

There are extenuating(sp?) circumstances when a minor can be charged as an adult, like if the minor is a member of a notorious gang, or goes on a murderous rampage, etc. etc. However, I doubt that his act of "self-defense" will land him in jail.
>> Anonymous
>>157751

Yea, I'm talking about the US. They charge 17 year olds as adults in certain cases. I don't know for sure what will happen in this particular instance, but there's a high likelihood that if this wackjob is leaving explicit death threats on OP's cell phone, the high school admins will call the police, who will treat this as serious business. The bi-polar guy might get charged as an adult, he might not. But he's still nuts-deep in the creek, death threats made by a high schooler will get you charged as a minor and still get you serving time in a Juvenile Detention Center.

When he comes at you with a knife, get into a Tae Kwon Do position, then DO A BARREL ROLL.

reach of your legs > reach of his arm + knife

KTFO him first by surprise, jumping back kick or something like that

or just avoid confrontation and run

might sound funny to you, but a pepper spray is a good alternative.

also, once you disarm him, beat his ass numb so he won't come after you again.

>>If it does come down to it, look for something heavy to throw at him or hit him with like a chair or something until you can GTFO.

OP - listen to this... this is advice from someone who has actually been-in or studied a real knife-fight situation. Everything else I've read on this thread is nearly complete bullshit.

Basically *if* he happens to show-up (unlikely, most likely he just wants to scare you which is obviously working -- fear is great power to some people)... but if he happens to show-up wielding a knife then your first goal is to get as much distance from him as possible. If distance isn't attainable because you're in a confined space or he's faster than you then throwing things at him or wielding a chair is another good bet... anything to keep his knife-hand away from you. Even the slighest gash of a sharp knife in the wrong place on your neck or abdomen could kill you depending on where it is... do everything you can to keep it away... EVEN if the resulting decision may have the person killed or severely injured - you have the DUTY to protect yourself in that situation using whatever means available. Do not be nice... do not talk... there is no macho... simply RUN/GTFO and/or wield large objects that you are strong enough to lift and swing or throw at him that will keep him far enough away that he can't stab you. Chairs are great - desks in school are great - small tables if you're strong enough - computers - whatever happens to be nearby that is large and pick-up-able.

Geez, I'm in way too late.

But, if nothing's at hand and running's not going to work, do some front kicks (you know, the Leonidas looking shit) until you feel comfortable enough to sweep him. Once he's down, either try to attain control of his knife arm (or the knife itself) or use his lack of mobility to your advantage and get the fuck out of there.
>> NazHax !!fBSG7DdxGcU
>>158235

also good advice... if you can't get yourself away from him - get him away from you.

Then while he's down - stomp his ass. A knife attack is a clear attempt to kill you; don't be afraid to do major harm.

Your legs have more reach than his arms+knife. Kick him somewhere low, knees peferred, ankles ok, impeding his travelling speed and get the hell out of there. If running isnt an option, see to it that you have a sturdy jacket you can wrap aound your off-hand arm for a bit more defense. Other than that, lay off sports-style TKD and look for a dojo that teaches selfdefense.

I've read about 3/4 of this thread, and I think some of you need to realize that the guy with the knife can easily put the OP in a situation where running is almost impossible.

He's not going to walk in plain view and draw his knife at 30 meters, if he honestly intends to knife the OP. It's going to be at least somewhat of a surprise.

good point. If I was going to knife someone I'd make sure they were distracted talking to someone or working on something .... walk-up swiftly with it hidden ... grab his shoulder or arm in one hand, the knife in the other, and jab quick and hard all in one quick movement.... preferably in the lower-side area below the ribs.

Some cowards in here are recommending to snitch and tattle-tale to the school or police. I whole-heartedly agree. If OP isn't a nigger, then these people will actually take care of the problem rather swiftly.

First off, call the police.
If he were reasonably intelligent, he would sneak up on you and knife you in the back. However, he doesn't sound that way to me. Keep alert if you're seriously that worried, and if he confronts you like a fucktard, run away. If you absolutely can NOT run away, go in to damage control mode. Odds are if you are forced into a confrontation, you WILL get cut or stabbed. Kick his balls, bite him, spit in his eyes, hit him with anything near by, then run away as soon as possible.

uh wouldnt aiming for the throat or balls be best in a life or death situation, it should be pretty simple to collapse if throat if you can get an aimmed kicked in but chances are you wont see him tell its too late.
