I know the title is a bit dumb because there's no "best" place to get stabbed. but I've always been a firm believer that if someone pulls a knife on you, you need to accept that you're going to get stabbed or cut and all you can control is where.
So in a situation where someone has a knife and running isnt an option. what should you do?
Just wanna hear everyone's experience, just listen training age and the martial arts.

Hello all.
My niece is headed to her freshman year of college in the fall and I'm putting together a nice self defense care package for her. So far I have the following:
- Stun gun
- Kubotan
- Drink covers
- Cuff key
- Small EDC knife
She's taking self defense classes this summer. What's the option of this sub? Any suggestions? Her mom thinks it's a bit much, but I worked in a level 6 penitentiary and am well aware of what kind of monsters are out there.
Thanks,
I used to box years ago, I never had a fight but I used to spar every week, I was never that good but I used to enjoy it and I would always do plenty of footwork drills.
I'm not gonna explain the reason why I found myself in the situation I'm about to tell:
A man rushed at me, he looked like he was intoxicated my instinct was to side step and circling around him like I used to do in sparring, he kept on squaring up on me but I was able to keep him away, he eventually left
It happened in a car park, if it had happened before I had any boxing training I would have just moved back on a straight line eventually ending up with my back against a car or a wall and I would have probably got beat up.
So I reccomend everyone to do some boxing training, after that experience I might go back to do boxing again.
I own a firearm and I hope I never have to use it so i’m looking at other means of self defense incase hand to hand combat gets escalated. Color me surprised when I found out our state is pretty lenient on blades and other melee devices like slapjacks. Next best answer im looking for is what martial arts to learn as a 6’3 205lb guy
I visited an accessories shop to buy a self defense ring for personal safety two days ago. I
wanted something small and useful. I also wanted something strong and easy to carry. But
when I checked the rings I felt disappointed. Some looked weak and the edges were not
sharp enough. Some designs did not feel practical. I could not trust them. I could not pick
one confidently.
Then I visited another shop in the same area. Some rings looked strong but they were too
costly. Some were affordable but the build quality was poor. Some seemed perfect at first but
the grip did not feel good. I remembered I bought a safety item last week that broke quickly.
That made me hesitate even more and I felt confused.
To check more variety and options while scrolling many online marketplaces including
alibaba I found many self defense rings. Some looked strong and useful. Some were simple
and low price. Some had better grip and design. There were many options available. This
made me excited but also confused again.
Now I am thinking should I buy this ring online for more variety or should I trust a local store
for better quality? What would you do in my place?
i will admit but not proudly at all, i used to be a bully, i loved anything physical, hitting, getting hit, the adrenaline all of it. out of nowhere fear took over my mind, this is a very cowardly thing but im admitting everything on here and i became a better person, the place i used to bully people in was a fairly safe place, since then i moved to another country where people get cut stabbed run over for being a bully (no im not in the uk) since then fear completely took over my mind and im not just scared of that kind of violence i also became terrified of normal street fights even when i have to do something about it, i have been letting people step on me since i moved here and everytime i get away from a confrontation without doing anything i cant sleep for about three days after, just calling myself a coward over and over again in my head, im tired of living like this, what made me so scared? karma is definitely terrible but im tired of being scared like this even when im not in the wrong. is this a trauma response or?
