Flash Counterattack

As you read this article I have to weigh in on this particular technique and add some thoughts. First in a flash attack, or a coordinated "mob" robbery which is one thing they are suggesting there are a few things left out. First is you have to get over the "surprise" aspect of the attack itself and let your self defense training kick in. Once you realize what is going on remember you are in the center of the circle of this attack. First fend of the immediate attacker and move out of the circle and keep moving so you have your attackers in front of you and not behind you. If you use a blade to defend yourself a down hold is good for surprise attacks and they should be first to the attacking weapons or the neck if at all possible. The blood spurting out all over the place does in fact create a power visual psychic dis-insensitive for the others to continue. No credit to the "men who stare at goats" but that was my line! One good thing shown here is the hand strike to the face with an open palm and if you can keep it there during your knife attack even better as they can't focus on what you are doing next. However, unless you are well trained you should remove your hand before your knife attack as you might hit yourself too. If so use your blood as a weapon and sling it at the opponents... heck you are going to bleed might as well make use of it. A few seconds of shock value would allow you to close on the next attacker. Finally any head wound is good as our heads have 30 percent of our blood in our body and head wounds bleed far worse then they really are. The psychological aspect of this can work in your favor very well. If you want to learn to more capable with a blade you should check out my knife on knife fighting DVD series.

Flash Counterattack:


When escaping a mob situation, a ruthless, all-or-nothing attitude is essential for success. The “Punch and Cut” was demonstrated on a striking dummy wrapped with a pork roast. The initial straight-line punch flows quickly into the downward cut to the face and mobility-killing comma cut to the quadriceps.
One of the most terrifying crime trends to emerge in recent months has been the “flash mob” robberies. Originally a semi-spontaneous performance gathering coordinated through social media, the concept has been perverted by criminals who now use it to surround and overwhelm unsuspecting victims.
From a self-defense perspective, the flash mob is an extremely difficult problem. Any time you face multiple attackers, the danger level increases significantly. Against a coordinated mob attacking in unison, you face a serious, potentially lethal threat.
There has been a lot of discussion in the firearms world regarding flash mob defenses. In the chaos of a flash mob, bad guys and innocent bystanders are dynamically intermixed, making clean shots extremely difficult. Even if you are able to get shots on the right targets, unless you’re carrying multiple magazines, your success may be very short-lived. This is where a knife has distinct advantages over a gun in that it is extremely selective and never runs out of ammo.
