So you carry a knife… great but do you know how to use it and how to defend yourself against an attacker with a knife? Do you have the right knife for the job? In this course, you will learn all of these and the basic attacks and defenses that are found on the streets. We will cover the foundation of fighting, which is found throughout all fighting styles including firearms training.

Course Description: This course focuses on the most common street attacks using edged weapons and how to defend against them with a knife. Students have the option to attend only day 1 (for $225) or both days ($400). Day 2 includes a tissue lab and other activities exploring the course topics in more detail.

Not only will you gain more respect for the edged weapons but you will also learn how effective they are through a tissue lab which is an accurate simulation of knife attack injuries. We will also examine how different blades cut through clothing and how clothing reacts to the blade. There will be a short lecture on knife and blade designs and their application. This will help educate the students on what to look for when selecting a knife.

During the class, we will have training knives for students to borrow. All students must bring safety glasses. By the end of the class, you will understand why an edged weapon is so devastating in an extreme CQB environment.
