I was told by one of my teacher that It's not about getting away clean or unscathed or even victorious in a knife fight or knife defense situation. Although these are indeed desirable. But the true priority is to be able to survive that hellish situation one might find him or herself into. He retells to me his violent past experiences and stressed his point into my mind that a blade encounter is something that a person with a sound mind should really not aspire to get into. But he quickly stressed equally that if forced to act due to an attack, then one has to do everything in order to protect and preserve one's life. And in truth, as much as one wishes to control the outcome, the result would always be different for everybody. Either one of them ends up getting badly hurt, or both of them comes out with an equal predicament or that one of them ends up six feet below the ground or could be that both end up dead. One could never determine these results until its over. So there's nothing really to fantasize about it. Because It's just plain ugly. So we can only train ourselves as much as we can in order to prepare ourselves for any such unfortunate event. And if it comes, (let's hope not) all we can do is to give our very best to come out of it alive and survive the trauma that comes with it right after through the help of our acquired skills and along with the deeper training that one gets out of it which strengthens our mental faculties. With all these said,
Let nature takes it course.
