Knife attacks...

Antifa and their pals favor stabbing attacks. These are fast, come from hiding, take little skill and are nearly impossible to stop. People think of martial arts movies or imagine their gun will protect them.

I've analyzed tens of knife attacks and hundreds of fights. A quick and dirty knife attack comes in low, on the right hand side in general and is done from hiding.

This is the Antifa philosophy of attack. It is not brave, but can be very effective.

The trick then is to keep your distance from others, when possible. Especially short, skinny men.

Woman as well, though that is less likely.

Just a heads up, you're martial arts skills have not prepared you for this. Your stab vest won't cover the low target area in most cases. You will, literally, be stuck five or six times (light a sewing machine, since it takes little force to make happen!) before you understand you are under attack.

Distance and paying attention are the only things that will protect you from this.

*True, you are not likely to face this, but it is a preferred tactic of these people, so keep it in mind. Staying away from them works for nearly everything they can do. They are NOT great marksmen, so far.
