Myth #1) You can disarm him without getting cut/stabbed Ok, so this is technically possible, but unlikely. One of the biggest hurdles to get over in a fight where your opponent has a knife is when you start bleeding. You might not feel the cut/stab due to the adrenaline in your system but you'll see and feel the blood. A lot of people freak out at this point because they've never been hurt in a fight that caused them to bleed so their brain will lock up and they'll hyper-focus on the wound and not getting stabbed anymore instead of dealing with the attacker.
