Обзор
The Knife Redirect subfamily covers defensive techniques that redirect the trajectory of a knife attack without attempting an immediate disarm, using hand deflections and body movement to guide the blade past the body. [1] Knife redirects are based on the principle of deflection rather than direct blocking — the defender uses a parrying motion to change the blade's path rather than stopping its force head-on. [1],[2] Redirects are often the first defensive action in a knife defence sequence, followed by control of the weapon hand and either escape or disarm. [2],[3]
История и происхождение
Knife redirect techniques are found in Filipino martial arts, Wing Chun, and various self-defence systems, where deflecting a blade's trajectory is preferred over attempting to block or catch it. [1] The concept of redirecting rather than blocking edged weapons has been a principle of weapons-based martial arts for centuries. [2],[3]

Биомеханический механизм
Primary Action — Intercepting an incoming strike using a rigid arm, forearm, or shin structure to absorb or redirect force
Joints Involved — Forearm and elbow (primary blocking surface), shoulder (positioning), core (absorbing residual force)
Force Vector — Perpendicular to the incoming strike — meeting the attack at an angle dissipates force across the blocking surface
Defensive Mechanic — Hard blocks absorb impact directly; soft blocks redirect the strike's trajectory away from the target
Позиция и вход
From fighting stance — Maintain guard position, raise the forearm or shin to intercept the incoming strike before it reaches the target
As reactive defence — When the attack is detected, move the blocking limb into the strike's path to absorb or deflect the force

✓Knife redirect techniques deflect the attacking arm offline, moving the blade past your body while positioning you to control the weapon hand (Krav Maga Global, Knife Defence Curriculum, 2015)
✓The redirect does not stop the attack — it changes the line of the attack so the blade passes by your body instead of into it
✓Use the open-palm redirect: slap the inside of the attacking forearm to deflect the thrust or slash offline
✓The redirect must be combined with body movement — step offline (to the outside of the weapon arm) simultaneously with the hand redirect
✓Inside vs. outside redirect: redirect to the outside of the attacker's arm is safer because it moves you away from the free hand
✓After the redirect, immediately control the weapon wrist with both hands — the redirect alone is momentary
✓The redirect is the entry point for all subsequent defence: redirect → control → counter/disarm
✓Train redirects against full-speed thrusts with training markers — the timing must be developed against realistic speed
Типичные ошибки
!Trying to catch or grab the knife on the initial attack — redirect first, then control; catching a fast thrust is nearly impossible
!Redirecting without moving the body offline — the hand redirect alone is insufficient; step off the line of attack
!Redirecting toward the inside of the attacker — this puts you in front of their free hand and body
!Using too much force on the redirect — the redirect should be a deflection, not a block; you're changing the angle, not stopping the force
!Redirecting and then hesitating — the window after a redirect is 1-2 seconds; you must immediately transition to control
!Training redirects at slow speed only — the speed of a real knife attack is the critical variable
!Not accounting for the attacker's free hand — the non-weapon hand can grab, punch, or push during the redirect

Часто задаваемые вопросы
How do I keep my hand position safe when defending against a knife threat?
Keep your hand up to help protect yourself in case of a rapid attack, even when the attacker is initially just threatening with the knife.
What's the difference between forward grip and reverse grip for knife defense?
In forward grip, thumb placement gives you pitch and angle control. In reverse grip, you also control pitch and angle with your thumb, and this method keeps the blade more covert for defensive purposes.
Can I use a knife to defend without causing severe injury?
Yes—instead of cutting, you can press the bottom (spine) of the knife into an attacker's hand, which is very painful and can make them release you without causing catastrophic injury.
What should I know legally about using a knife in self-defense?
Do not continue to strike or attack an attacker unless they are still actively attacking you; once they stop attacking, you must stop as well.
