Knife fights in film

Okay, kiddo. So in some movies, we see people using knives to fight each other. It's like a game of tag, but instead of touching or hitting, they try to poke each other with knives.

Now, in real life, this is a very dangerous thing to do. People can get hurt or even killed. But in the movies, everything is fake and the actors use special knives that are not sharp and won't hurt anyone.

The actors have to practice a lot to make it look like they are really fighting with knives. They have to know where to put their hands and feet so they don't accidentally hurt each other.

Sometimes, the fight scenes in movies can be very exciting to watch. But remember, it's only make-believe and you should never try to play with knives in real life. Always stay safe!
