____________________________________________________________________
On Wednesday, November 1, 2023 security camera footage catches Javier Baez successfully defend himself from a chaotic knife attack at 4am from a large man (Omar Marrero) with a 14-inch blade. The technique that Mr. Baez, a trained martial artist, used in defending himself has been a CORE or Standard self-defense technique practiced in the Jukido system of jujitsu for many years in dealing with this exact type of attack.

In this video we see the security footage at several speeds along with various footage of this technique being applied in the dojo by George Rego Sensei. The footage of Master Rego goes back 8-10 years prior to this incident and the technique itself has been taught by Shihan Arel for decades. There many examples of this technique being used in jujutsu, old judo, and military combatives for many years. The technique is a Kata Gatame (shoulder hold) which can be used as means of strangulation and control for a throw or takedown.

Many claim that knife defense is impossible in the real world. Objectively false. Of course, we would advise to do EVERYTHING possible to avoid needing to defend oneself when facing a knife attack. If you can run, run! However, this contemporary footage demonstrates that (1) it is IS possible (even if not advisable) to successfully defend oneself when left with no other option and that (2) these classic techniques are time-tested and have been passed down for generations precisely because of it's effectiveness in real world situations. There are no guarantees but as Mr. Baez states - one must train to the point of the techniques becoming second-nature in order to maximize, not guarantee, but maximize the chances of success.
