ok- I have a bat. you have nothing.

describe how you would attack me, or at least defend yourself.
- Feeling Glucky?

How are you standing?

What is your grip? One or two handed? Or one on the shaft the other the tip?

K, Ill improvise.

You go for the side arm slightly over the shoulder one handed swing to my head.

I duck, grab your bat hand and roll backward into (i assume your sweet) embrace with an elbow to the face. You are stunned, and I now have you in an arm bar, and you drop the bat. Judo Flip you to the ground, sommersault roll onto your chest while grabbing the bat. Now I am sitting on your chest, with your own bat at your throat and I decide to fart in your face before knocking you out with one swift blow to the head.

I stand up, the bouncer throws you into the back alley and I go home with your girl as the rest of the bar chants Ole Ole Ole.

Take into account a guy with a knife can stab at you like a piston and literally pierce you 30+ times in under a minute. You can use limbs to block a bat, even if they get broken. You can't do that with a knife.
- Pikey

k. guy steps in to stab. bat goes to head. guy with knife falls... potentially stabbing himself in the process.

as the guy with the bat, I'd wait for the knife guy to make the first move.

Only real defense against the bat is to try and catch it. You can't really fight with a broken arm, so it's not much of a defense.

two handed grip.

I swing, you try to grab it. You break several bones in your hand. I swing again, you try to block with your head. You succeed, and proceed to head-butt the cement.

hmm, edit feature isn't working.

I wanted to add in that I go home with my own girl. Because she's better than yours

Two handed is to slow, duck and side step under your swing, with a couple rabbit punches to your side, you keel over, I grab your head with both hands whisper in your ear "67", then slam your face into the bar, pick up your bat, stand with one leg on your motionless body Captain Morgan style, and slug back your beer, it tastes like burnt wood, i spit it out then poor the rest of it on you.

You can fight with a broken arm but that's beside the point.

You're picturing a guy half assed making a stab with a knife. That's never how it looks. The guy will stab and stab and stab and stab. He's going to run at you fast, grab you and shank away dude. I've seen drills where you get a realistic attacker to come at someone with a fake knife and I don't think I've ever seen someone disarm the guy with the knife without getting fake stabbed at least five times (and that's against guys who have been training at knife defense for years).

A bat is a slow, blunt object that you need to cock to produce force. Knives are (frank)ing scary. Sharp knives go through flesh like it was butter. Never wait for a guy with a knife to make the first move.

Two handed is to slow, I duck but not fast enough. Bat doesn't kill me, but knocks me to the ground. The next hit removes my teeth. In an attempt to be funny, I say '67' like a typical frog. These are my last words, as the next bat strike kills me.

In any case, if you're fighting a guy who's armed and knows how to use the weapon... and you're unarmed, you're (frank)ed- unless you really know what you're doing. Knife, bat, doesn't matter- best bet is to run away.


And I'm willing to bet that a bat swing at a guy running right at you with a knife is as good a counter as any

By the time you cock back to make your swing he would had stabbed you.

The best defense against someone charging you with a knife is to pull out your gun and twist your hand to a kill shot, he'll stop dead in his tracks and run the other way.

Or always where steel toed boots and shin guards then karate kid swan kick the knife away.

Either way

Edit: Third option: wear Mandolarian Crushguants.
