There is a lot of bad advice being spread around concerning self defense these days. One of the worst and most dangerous pieces of bad advise is to run when faced with a knife-wielding attacker. The supposed reason for this advise is that it is very difficult to successfully defend yourself against a knife attack without being cut in the process. Ok, that may be true, but "running away from the problem" rarely helps in any situation, especially when you are in imminent danger!
