As I said, personal preference.
The disarms we learn in karate are followed up by a step back, putting us out of reach, with the understanding that we can, if the need arises, turn the knife on the attacker.
My problem with learning the other way around is that, in the middle of an adrenaline rush, you are more likely to turn to training than thought, and, most of the time, a guy who has lost his weapon is pretty much harmless, as he is too much of a coward to face his own knife.
