Never Bring a Knife to a Fist Fight	comment	Knives are scary. A single glimmer from its profile has been known to launch a thousand screams of horror. They're eminently deadly and dangerously easy to use. In Real Life, if your opponent pulls one out in a fistfight, you should either start running or, if you are impeded from running, get an object with a long reach. Not in fiction, though, where they tend to be utter liabilities in a fistfight. In a Wire Fu movie, you should never bring a knife to a fistfight, because fisticuffs is king. Knives, guns, and any weapon that would give the wielder an advantage in a fight, especially if they're blood-spilling and are used against an unarmed opponent, have the reverse effect. For instance, it would give the opponent like a Martial Pacifist, who may have been restraining himself to prevent the opponent from getting too hurt, a reason to now fight with full force to take the wielder down quickly, seeing as how the fight is now deadly serious. They also make it likelier that they'll never land a hit (Clothing Damage or minor cuts across the cheek or torso notwithstanding), and eventually get disarmed or forced to throw away their weapon. In a good old-fashioned western, any bounder who pulled a knife in a fistfight would get involved in a down-and-dirty rassle on the ground, then fall (or roll over) on his own blade. A descendant general rule of Hollywood remains that the first person to pull a knife almost always loses. Much like all products of the Inverse Law of Utility and Lethality, this applies equally to Heroes and Villains, though villains are usually likelier to pack heat or hidden knives. If someone does get stabbed, shot, skewered, or otherwise hit with the blood-spilling weapon, it was Only a Flesh Wound (though regenerators are exempt). Often goes hand in hand with finding out that just like weapons, Armor Is Useless. One way to exploit this trope is to make an immobilizing Knife Outline, as the likelihood of fatally skewering someone becomes zero. Oddly enough, a dramatic death where someone gets skewered or shot aren't subversions, since they rely on the unlikelihood of such weapons actually killing for their dramatic punch; plus, the person shot usually lasts long enough to deliver an inspiring Final Speech and turn out to be Not Quite Dead afterwards. Instantly fatal stabbings or headshots are subversions, though. Note: This only applies to humans. In Speculative Fiction, you can skewer and dismember as many golems, undead, Mecha-Mooks or whatnot to your heart's desire. A common variant of this trope is the inversion of the original saying 'Never Bring a Knife to a Gun Fight': Fictional characters armed with guns will, more often than not, lose to opponents armed with knives. If the opponent is armed with a sword or other more fancy melee weapon, the gunman's doomed. This case is similar to Guns Are Worthless, except that there isn't necessarily a reason why the guns are weak. The opponent isn't Immune to Bullets, he just gets Plot Armor to ensure the gunman never gets a good shot before being impaled, much like the knifewielder won't get a good hit in while the fistfighter beats him to a pulp. Since both weapons are lethal, this version is driven more by a simple Rule of Cool instead of the Inverse Law of Utility and Lethality. See also: Guns Are Worthless, Armor Is Useless, Bare-Fisted Monk, Heroes Fight Barehanded, Knife Outline, Could Have Been Messy, and Only a Flesh Wound. A Sub-Trope of the Inverse Law of Utility and Lethality. Similar to Rock Beats Laser. Contrast Never Bring a Knife to a Gun Fight. Compare Never Bring a Gun to a Knife Fight.

Enemies with weapons are significantly more dangerous than unarmed enemies, and even require different dodging/countering tactics. If a mook finds a gun, you'd better make him your priority, or you will be one dead Bat. Both played straight and subverted in Batman: Arkham City: enemies with stun batons still require you to hit them in the back and there's new shielded and armored enemies that require a specific method to damage them, but anyone wielding a knife can be defeated instantly with a specific counter attack as stated above and enemies with guns give you the option to quickly drop a smoke bomb when they spot you. Batman also has a special attack that destroys any weapons the targeted mook might be carrying so he or others can't pick it back up afterwards.

Never Bring a Knife to a Fist Fight / int_1b386512	comment	In Ranma Â½, every martial artist is skilled with numerous weapon styles, even those that fight barehanded. So, nobody berates the dedicated bladed-weapon users (Kodachi, Kuno, Mousse, Mint) for their choice... but their weapons never strike home anyway. Most egregious of all is Mousse, whose typical assault consists of tossing various weapons (some blunt, but mostly piercing and slashing ones) from his sleeves and tie up his opponent in the ropes attached to them, instead of actually skewering anyone. But let him have a morningstar, a club, or even his own hands and feet, and he'll tear into a foe like it's nobody's business.

There is also no disarm ability and the barehanded counter attack is bugged against knife wielders which makes it easier for them to stab you.

To be specific, he defeats an officer attacking him with a knife, with the knife ending up being stabbed through the officer's hand. Then there is this incident where another person attacks him with an American flag. The person ends up with a bit of flagpole in his shoulder. Of course, he is not above shooting people in the head as part of his CQB regime. And, to be frank, he basically beats up everyone no matter what they're armed with or even not at all.

Never Bring a Knife to a Fist Fight / int_40b716af	comment	Blunty averted in Assassin's Creed, where switching to your fists in a sword fight against multiple foes is a quick way to an asskicking. Attacking soldiers with your bare hands is effective only when there's one of them. It also takes a little longer, with the upsides being that they can't parry, and it's also quite humiliating. Played straight in the sequel, where Ezio can counter-attack with his fists. Doing so causes him to steal the opponent's weapon and then turn it against them. In addition, fist attacks are never blocked by spear-wielding Seekers, which are otherwise at least a mild pain in the ass. There's even a metal cestus you can buy that makes your fist fighting all the more effective. Strangely exaggerated in Revelations, where landing an unarmed 4 hit combo after dodging a Jannisary will take him out when it can take up to 3 armed combos to do the same. Averted again in Assassin's Creed III. Though you can disarm enemies, taking on the sword-wielding Officers and Jagers with fists without disarming first will lead to them countering Connor and cutting him to bits.

Never Bring a Knife to a Fist Fight / int_47dc9ef0	comment	In Spirit of the Century, whether you're better off fighting with a weapon or barehanded is solely a matter of training; the weapon itself makes no difference. Some later versions of the Fate system do diversify weapons by giving them at least some individual stats; conversely, some others go even further in erasing the distinction by no longer using separate skills for armed and unarmed combat. Justified in that the rules explicitly set out to emulate fiction.

After Hub fends off the their initial attacks, they fall back and pull out their pocket knives. At this point Hub scoffs at them and delivers a major beat down. Hub even corrected the first attacker by telling him he wasn't holding the knife properly. The attacker corrected and Hub still beat him down.

If one of the enemy gangsters about to attack you brings out a baseball bat, lead pipe or other melee weapon, you'd better switch to grabbing him and taking him out fast, because the hooks and jabs of the unarmed mobsters are relatively small fry compared to the beating you will receive from the weapon-user.

She's going after a lowlife that owes money, who pulls a knife to attack her with. By the end of the 'fight' she's entirely unharmed, and the lowlife has two broken arms. Most of the protagonists in the Yakuza series have a means of dealing with knife-wielding mooks, usually involving disarming the guy with a punch or kick or (in some cases) forcing the knife back into his stomach before kneeing it even further in.

Never Bring a Knife to a Fist Fight / int_6fe3e8a7	comment	When one's Neopets enter the Battledome with no items equipped, they're automatically equipped with The Fist, a temporary "weapon" which both deals and blocks two icons of physical-type damage.note Damage is calculated by multiplying the icons a weapon deals by the bonus granted by one's strength stat. The lowest possible strength stat will take 0.5 HP per icon, and the highest possible strength stat will take 16 HP per icon; a weak pet will knock off 1 HP with The Fist, and a strong pet will knock off 32 HP. While it is one of the weakest "weapons" on the site, it's not the weakest by a long shot; several are as weak or weaker, including, yes, several swords. Most infamous is the Sword of Domar, a lead blade which does a matching amount of damage at best and a tenth of the damage at worstnote 0.2 icons; even the strongest pet will only shave off 3 HP, and that's assuming it's not blocked. This means a pet using The Fist, which blocks the same icon type that the Sword of Domar uses, will No-Sell it without fail.

First, he blocks the incoming attack with his own blastsword and proceeds to eventually knock the blastsword from his opponent's hand, breaking it in the process. Then, after Wes throws away his own blastsword (to Wedge standing behind him), the opponent goes for his knife, which Wes proceeds to kick out of his hand. Justified in that Wes Janson is well-schooled in hand-to-hand combat; the opponent is a noble who knows only the stylized form of blastsword dueling and nothing of real fighting techniques.

Never Bring a Knife to a Fist Fight / int_8125b468	comment	Batman uses this a lot, since he often faces thugs armed with knives, but one particularly obvious example is the fight at the end of Mad Love, when a very enraged Joker attacks Batman, and seems to be giving him more trouble in a fistfight than he usually does... until he pulls out a knife, and Batman instantly knocks him off the train. It's then averted in their final battle in Return of the Joker. The Joker actually manages to stab Batman in the leg; an injury that apparently (along with old age) forced Bruce Wayne to use a cane later in life. In Batman's defense, he probably spent a very long time researching ways to take down armed opponents, since after his Continuity Reboot he's been solidly against any sort of lethal weaponry. When you're aware that you'll be spending the next few decades of your life using your bare hands against knives, guns, and lunatic clowns armed with either or both, you try your best to be ready for such, which includes the fact that his costume is nowadays a lightweight advanced suit of armor. He uses this so much that it's made into a gameplay mechanic in Batman: Arkham City: once you unlock Knife Counter Takedown, you can instantly defeat any mook that attacks you with one once you figure out the timing for it, including the armored ones.

Also, in the museum case, the victim was literally pinned to the wall with a sword. In Lupin III vs. Detective Conan, bumbling detective Kogoro Mouri is charged by a failed assassin with a knife- his response is to snort dismissively, tuck his hankie into a chest pocket, and then effortlessly judo throw the assailant to the ground.

Never Bring a Knife to a Fist Fight / int_9db1766a	comment	The Devil May Cry series has been zig-zagging with this trope, depending on the fight: In actual gameplay, the gauntlet/greave weapons (Beowulf, Ifrit, Gilgamesh and Balrog) are the strongest in terms of raw damage output; the Ifrit in particular can easily break through Nelo Angelo's defensive stance using his zweihander. However in cutscenes, Dante never uses them against his enemies, just sticking to his swords for melee combat. Played straight in the first game where Nelo Angelo knocked the Force Edge out of Dante's hand using close-quarters combat, then quickly triumphs over him using further punches and a kick. Devil May Cry 3: Dante's Awakening: Although the second fight with Vergil starts with him using the Beowulf gauntlets and greaves, he pulls out his Yamato katana after he finds out having the hand-to-hand weapon isn't stopping Dante from kicking his ass. Jester/Arkham easily managed to beat and knock Dante, Lady, and Vergil with some close-quarters-combat, martial arts, and a sweeping kick despite having up to three bladed weapons pointed at him. He even points out Vergil was weakened enough when he performed a Barehanded Blade Block, so he took advantage of their prior exhaustion. The Super-Strength and durability of Nero's Devil Bringer arm in Devil May Cry 4 allowed him to block Dante's sword during their first fight, and can also counter the "Stinger"-like thrust of Sanctus Diabolica and the Sparda sword in the final mission. That being said, the only blade that could pierce through the arm is the absurdly sharp Yamato. Inverted in Mission 17 of Devil May Cry 5 where Urizen mostly relies on using punches and kicks while fighting Dante, but the latter still had the upper hand and managed to impale him with his newly-acquired sword, the Devil Sword Dante.

A minor Ragnarok thug assaults Kenichi with a knife and he freaks out because bladed weapons are naturally intimidating. To help him overcome his fear, the masters have Shigure train him in armed combat... that is to say, she spends the whole day assaulting him with everything from rolled-up newspapers and spoons to actual weapons. Later Kenichi encounters the same thug, who draws the knife again... but Kenichi just laughs creepily and asks, "What's that puny thing" and blames the thug for putting him through today's Training from Hell. Cue beatdown. That all said, the series does tend to treat a person carrying a bladed weapon as more dangerous than one who is not, and only martial artists of superior skill are able to take on an armed enemy while unarmed themselves.

Never Bring a Knife to a Fist Fight / int_a22918b	comment	A full chapter in Holyland (16, if you want to fast-forward) is devoted to demonstrating how to disarm a knife-user in a street fight. The narration also states that it only works here because the knife-user was an amateur and the unarmed warrior was an ex-professional kickboxer and karate black belt. What it amounts to is basically what was described in Burn Notice quote below - Izawa grabs the punk's knife arm and beats him senseless. Though the narrator also notes that, unlike what some self-defence books say, one should focus on hitting the enemy rather than obsess over wrestling the knife away. Chapter 34 also notes that opponents might steal weapons away from an inexperienced user and turn them against him. Later in the series, Izawa attempts to defeat a kendo user bare-handed, by using a pair of brass knuckles to block the sword before going for a surprise Alpha Strike. It fails due to a Game-Breaking Injury, and with the element of surprise lost he is defeated. Yuu takes up the fight and eventually manages to force a win. Averted in the manga's Grand Finale: Yuu walks away from the final fight, the king of the street fight circle, and some random desperate kid with a switchblade (nearly-) fatally stabs him.

Main character Oliver Horn fights a no-spells duel against Tullio Rossi, a self-taught Combat Pragmatist who incorporates punches with his off-hand, kicks, foot-stamping, and shoulder-charges into his repertoire. After getting a Heroic Second Wind out of sheer irritation at Rossi's Trash Talk, Oliver demonstrates precisely why trying to turn a swordfight into a fistfight against a trained opponent is a bad idea: the next time Rossi tries to punch him, Oliver catches that arm and throws him into an armbar lock. Played straight with Lesedi Ingwe, a mage specializing in magic-enhanced kickboxing who regularly fights on equal terms with armed opponents because she's just that good.

Ironic, considering Firo later uses a knife to disarm (literally) and defeat the Big Bad. Justified because the knife cuts off some fingers... which immediately reattached due to Firo's Healing Factor. The thug is too stunned to do any more damage after that. While the anime glosses it over, the Martillo Family are actually all expert knife fighters, which they view as more honorable combat then using guns (circumstances allowing), and all the capos must display a high level of proficiency at knife fighting in order to be promoted to an officer position (including knowing how to avoid knife based attacks). Firo happens to be one of the best out of the bunch, having been trained by Yagulma (who also taught him several martial arts), Ronnie and Maiza. Firo just tells Dallas he shouldn't pull a knife in a fist-fight unless he's seriously willing to suffer the consequences.

Pretty much the only character whose fighting strength relies on a weapon is Yajirobe, and even then he's implied to be pretty tough on his own. And even then it's implied past a certain point that a characters bare hands and ki attacks will cause more damage than any weapon they could possibly acquire, best shown with Trunks who quickly finds his sword ineffective an starts relying on his strength and energy attacks shorted into the Android Saga.

Indeed, the times Tex actually kills someone in a knife fight are extremely rare. Averted when it comes to guns, as they're consistently shown superior to the bare fist and meelee weapons. Indeed, the only times someone armed with a gun gets taken down by knife-wielding or unarmed opponents it's when he's either ambushed at short range or overwhelmed by sheer numbers, and even then he's likely to kill at least one of his opponents.

Definitely not the case in Grand Theft Auto V where knife attacks are fast and bring you down to a sliver of health at full health or outright instant kill if you have any prior damage. There is also no disarm ability and the barehanded counter attack is bugged against knife wielders which makes it easier for them to stab you.

Never Bring a Knife to a Fist Fight / int_e293455a	comment	Played pretty straight in Buffy the Vampire Slayer - although all sorts of fancy weapons crop up, it's pretty much expected for them to go flying and the fight to degenerate into gratuitous unarmed combat. This is probably for reasons of fight choreography. It's also cheaper on the special effects department. Since nobody ever actually seems to bleed after getting the stuffing beaten out of them in most Joss Whedon shows, taking knives out of the equation means that the producers save a fortune in makeup and fake blood. And flip-flopped in one episode of Angel, when Faith pulls a knife on Angelus. After one initial hit, he's able to avoid the knife for a few seconds, and then knocks it out of her hand... and she then hits him in the face, catches the knife, and cuts him several times with it. Of course, since he's a vampire all this does is hurt a whole lot — but then, she is trying to lose.

Never Bring a Knife to a Fist Fight / int_eedac02b	comment	In Durarara!!, several people hold a knife against Shizuo Heiwajima. This includes Izaya, Seiji and an army of possessed people. The latter two manage to cut him quite a bit. This is all pretty much irrelevant when he starts fighting. It's not that they lost because they brought knives. They lost because they're trying to fight Shizuo Heiwajima.

Fist, Star Saber defeats two gun-wielding Decepticons using only a sword. Later, when the Dinoforce fights the Brainmasters, Goryu criticises one of his underlings for using a gun; said underling immediately switches to an axe.

Never Bring a Knife to a Fist Fight / int_f81ef90f	comment	Played straight in The Bourne Series, in both The Bourne Identity and The Bourne Supremacy where Jason Bourne's opponents are often the ones wielding knives and other deadly close-combat weapons. Bourne himself is never given the advantage of having a knife to use against his adversary. However Bourne, being the better fighter (as well as the main character and therefore having Contractual Immortality), is able to disarm and defeat them using his fists and any improvised weapon he can get his hands on, up to and including a bathroom.
