I had posted recently some links to articles and videos discussing some of the realities of a knife fight, or rather, attack. Suarez discusses some tactics for using a knife. However, the point of his article is to explain that if you wait until the other person has pulled/drawn their weapon, you are too late. He includes some tips from a criminal that had used knives (or shivs) for attacks against one person versus defending against attacks from multiple persons. But Suarez also adds the following anecdote:
There was a story once about a man in Central America being "followed" by three thugs. It was clear what the outcome would be. But the man in the story decidedly ambushed them by turning a corner into an alley, getting ready and stabbing the first man (probably killing him...it is unknown), stabbing the second man, and then the third man and he ran in opposite directions. That is the sort of "ambush" we are talking about and not a classic "L" ambush or a Richard Ramirez Night Stalker type of ambush. It is getting ahead of the fight and overwhelming the other side with a level of violence they will never match in time to survive you.Anyway, read the whole thing.
