Some deranged person pulled out a knife: what would you do?

POST
According to Rickson Gracie, the best measure to take when you see a knife is to go in the opposite direction and stay away from that sharp problem.

What to do then, ultimately?

Rickson, depending on how the aggressor holds the weapon, has a perfect defense for each attack. Check out below one the most classic, effective ones.

Let’s keep training!
