Blocking a knife with your arm is easier than you think because it's a reflexive action.
But if you do it like a Taekwondo high block, you'll just get pushed back and stabbed, like in the video.
If the knife penetrates your body even slightly, you immediately panic out of fear, and proper defense afterward is basically impossible.
That's why they say you shouldn't just block, but meet the attack with a counter-attack feeling.
It looks simple, but they say this is the crucial point that determines life or death during a stabbing situation.
