Some effective self-defense techniques against an attacker with a knife include diverting the attackers attention, utilizing environmental objects for defense and attempting to disarm them. It is important to note that while aiming for vulnerable areas like the throat or eyes can cause serious injury, you should only do so as a last resort due to the risk of death or serious long-term injury to yourself. Additionally, any self-defense techniques employed should be done with enough force to subdue an attacker weighing the risk of permanent injury or death against the advantage of avoiding it in that moment.

Some effective self-defense techniques include striking vulnerable areas like the throat or eyes with fists, sticks or knives. Depending on the severity of the attack and the amount of force necessary, other areas such as the groin, chest and nose may also be targeted. Additionally, trapping the attacker’s knife hand between your own hands can help prevent further injury. Finally, if deadly force is necessary, you can strike at any vital organ to cause serious injury or death.
