Really I mention the story because it is a real world example of a knife being drawn. What I hate about Eidolon is that he speaks in such ******* absolutes. Stating that all knife fights end in hospitals and death or nobody can ever hope to handle a man with a knife is just such complete bollocks.
P.S. the saying about knife fighting from my kali teacher was "The winner goes to the hospital, the loser goes to the morgue."
although, one problem with arnis is that they have been known to teach special "non-lethal" knife moves that have gotten idiots to try them out in situations that they really shouldn't have.
Regardless, before I could really ascertain what I was doing, I had grabbed his knife/wrist hand and gave him a basic wrist throw. I held him in that position on the ground (the knife dropped as I rotated his wrist) and demanded that he "be cool." He apologized and said we were cool. I left the scene immediately so don't know what happened after that.
I train about 45 hours a week in Muay Thai and BJJ. I've found in mixed competition that the best defensive school (at least, hardest for me to attack well) was Akido. The Akido art originated as a means to disable multiple armed (swords) opponents. It's almost completely defensive, and useful in real world situations where you have multiple harassers.

45 hours a week?? are you training to become an mma fighter or something?
The usefulness of aikido is going to be highly dependant on the school your training in and their specific approach to aikido, which can range to completely self defense, practical application focused to pretty much something more similar to a cooperative dance then a martial art.
