Don't forget, there is no law that says you have to stand still while being stabbed either.

Similar to the Teuller drill developed after testing 30 years ago.

Definitely fun to watch. To my eye neither displayed any signs of having knife or firearms training/expertise, so this was a good example what would happen with two average Joes. I know people who won't carry with a round in the chamber, so it was even more of a "worst case" example.

I especially enjoyed his presentation technique (draw) on the last attack - Jeff Cooper must be spinning in his grave. Thanks for the post Shawn.
