What would you do, if your attacker dodged the throw of your weapon at him or her?
If you count on the fact that your knife throw will do damage and end the fight, you could get into a lot of trouble. Instead of piercing your attacker's skin, your attacker dodges his head slightly to the side and your knife wooshes past.
Threat gone.
Should the rule be to avoid throwing your knife ... always?
What if your attacker's face is just inches from your blade? And what if you feel, that you could just flick it right into a vulnerable area?
Should you go for it and throw the knife [legal ramifications aside]?
What if your attacker dodges, and woosh -- the knife is gone?
What do you do to make this an effective tactic?
Then you quickly follow with some hits. These hits continue the distraction, loosen up your attacker, confuse your attacker, and allow you to move ever closer.
The whole time you are hitting, your arms are working in tandem to be able to feel the entrance to one or more of your locks. The second you have that lock past the point of no return (see my book), the fight is over....
And let me end this article by saying this control is very desirable if you have more than one attacker. You have one attacker under your control. You get to use this attacker as a shield from the other(s).
Then you employ more of your techniques to move on to the new threat.
