Figure 66.—Grip on Knife.

d. Stance.—The recommended stance for knife fighting is that similar to a boxer’s (with one foot advanced) or to a wrestler’s (with the feet more or less in line), whichever is best for the individual. In any event the feet are comfortably apart, weight distributed evenly on the ball of both feet, knees flexed and body bent somewhat forward from the waist, poised and ready to react swiftly in any direction. Needless to say, your eyes are always on your enemy. The knife is held about waist high and close to the body, the blade pointing at your enemy’s torso. The other hand is extended in front of the body as bait, also to ward off any advances that the enemy might make, or to grab him somewhere and work into an opening for a quick thrust or slash. Figure 67.
