How To Protect Yourself From A Knife-wielder:

GRAB HIS RIGHT WRIST with your left hand as you push his knife hand up, while still holding on to his shoulder with your right hand (above). Now move your right hand from the knife-weilder's shoulder to his right elboow. PUSHING DOWN ON THAT ELBOW keeps his knife arm straight. Pulling his wrist toward you applies a very drastic shoulder lock. Unless your assailant drops his knife, you can easily dislocare his shoulder.

AS THE KNIFER RAISES HIS BLADE, parry the blow by striking his forearm with the edge of your own left forearm (center). Quickly seize his clothing near his right shoulder with your right hand. Then with a strong but smooth movement, pull his right shoulder toward you while also pushing his right (knife) hand upward and away from you (right).
