Unarmed Tactics: Fighting Single Armed Opponent
This form of fighting is very technical and heavy. So, it is relatively difficult to explain with words. I encourage you to practice with a trusted trainer intensively to defeat an armed opponent.
Weapon can be divided by 3 categories: firearm, sharp weapon and blunt weapon. We will discuss here the sharp weapon and blunt weapon. Firearm is part of job of police and soldier.

Principally you should get closer to defeat such opponent. If it is not possible to seize enemy's wrist, you simply dodge first from a blow / puncture. Once you get an opportunity, seize the wrist holding the weapon.
Now you have two choices. First, you can apply on break-joint technique to break the opponent's hand to get his weapon dropped. Secondly, you can slam your opponent first. When the opponent falls down, you disarm him.
Basically this is not the only principle. Many principles have been developed by martial art experts. But this is easiest principle to understand for novice practitioners.
