Why Using a Knife in a Fight Is the Worst Idea Ever
Most people who carry a knife for “self-defense” have no idea what actually happens in real violence.
In this video, Ron Engelman—Krav Maga Master and IDF combat instructor—breaks down why carrying a knife is NOT a self-defense strategy… it's a liability.
Ron explains the real consequences of using a knife, the legal danger, the tactical disadvantage, and why weapons make confrontations far more deadly for both sides.
