i train in escrima and a little krav maga and i would say if you trained enough it can def. increase your chances in surviving an encounter. my instructor has us role play different scenerios like being at a party or at a club then he attacks us with a plastic knife.
i have learned quite a bit of disarming techniques but i have to say, the best thing you can do is RUN, even in these drills where i know i will be attacked the knife is fast, small, and unpredictable. my instructor has told me time and time again..if someone busts out with a knife forget about pride and RUN. of course if theres no other option such as being in an elevator or having someone else there you have to protect then learning these self defence techniques can be nothing but good for you, but they do nothing if you dont drill them over and over, they should be instant reactions if you think..you die.
i think everyone should learn these types of defence, theyre very important.
