Newbie, you don't actually have to do a pull-up, because your kind of already in pull-up position (his arm is like the bar, and it should be under your chin already, so there is nothing to "pull-up" to, but you should hang on him, like you would hang on the pull-up bar if you were already at the top of the pull-up. Yes, eventually your strength would wear out, but so should his. And it shouldn't be a battle of endurance, because you should then sneakily reach back and squash his testicles!!!
As far as the knife being closer, yes, it'll be close, but with you hanging on, it cannot cut your skin, because if he tries to move the knife, he has to move his hand and if he moves his hand (with you hanging on), he moves you, too, therefore he cannot cut your skin since both your neck and the knife are moving in the same direction at the same speed. See what I mean? That one, you'll just have ot practice and find out that it works. I was worried about that, too, but when we did it, it really worked. He could not get the knife to "cut" my skin.
I guess a really strong guy could throw you to the ground. I don't know. I doubt you would land on your face though. Your instincts would probably kick in and you'd get your elbows up. Just like, say, if you are rollerblading and trip, sometimes you might land on your face, but usually, you land on your elbows, which is why you wear elbow pads.
So, tell me what you think when you get to practice these moves, alright?
