should not cost a life.

Talking somebody down can defuse the violence. Wrestling somebody down just escalates it. By grabbing him you give him an opportunity to grab you.

Better to talk to him, stay away, and order him to the ground rather than wrestling with him. Almost anybody, when they are attacked, like with a knee to the head, is gonna fight back.
