Answer 2

Emerson has designed "knife boxing" using the karambit, there are whole styles of escrima/kali dedicated to fighting with knives. There are a ton out there, so far the most effective one I have found has been one that was released from a guy in prison, who basically really knows what realistic knife fighting is.

What is more important is what you have to ask yourself, other than the sheer enjoyment of it, why study knife fighting? Do you envision yourself getting into knife fights and pulling out sweet knife kills? Real knife fighting isn't about fancy moves, or throwing a knife at someone, it is as simple as walking up to someone without them knowing you have a knife, deploying your knife quickly, stabbing them repeatedly and walking away.

Knife guy vs. knife guy= bloody, both parties are getting cut regardless of how good you are. If you have a knife and he knows, and vice versa, escrima, kali, krav maga, knife boxing, etc. might help you win ultimately, but you are still getting messed up.

I mean I can understand the cool factor of learning it, and getting some enjoyment out of it if you dig knives, just know it is not a realistic thing, especially on the street, nor do you want it to ever get to that point that lethality has to be used when it could have been solved another way.

So if you have the right mind set, i.e. I dig knives, though I probably will never and don't ever, really want a chance to use one in a combat situation.

I would look up Emerson's Karambit fighting, or Escrima/Kali. And look up Krav Maga for disarming a knife from someone, I don't know of any MA that specializes in throwing knives, but you can always pick up a book at perfecting that, there are plenty out there.

Good luck.

Answer 3

I train a bit in knife fighting under kali/eskrima and the Modern Army Combatives Program. The obvious answer is "practice." You really need a sparring partner(s), and then the two (or more) of you need to settle on a system you want to learn. Unless you're in a big city, it's usually tough to find someone who specializes in knife training. Check out some videos and start practicing.
