Edged Weapons Defense

In this program of instruction, you will be trained in how to defend against an edged weapon attack if you carry a firearm (armed) or if you don’t carry or can’t get to your firearm (unarmed), how to use your own pocket knife to protect yourself, and those with you, against a violent physical threat and lastly how to defend against an edged weapon assault even if you have nothing in your hands.

Unarmed: What would you do if you had nothing in your hands and you were attacked by an assailant wielding an edged weapon? Learn how to handle this scenario and multiple attackers. You will also be introduced to the curve blade – how it is used, its advantages over a straight edge and what makes the curved blade such a unique defensive tool employed at conversational ranges. There is no prerequisite for this course. Instruction includes: Advantages and disadvantages of Fixed/ Folding/ Straight/ Curved blades, Rapid deployment, manipulation and unarmed defense against edged weapons, disarming techniques, distance/ injury risk metrics, leverage & blade mechanics, wound analysis & effects, targeting and the dynamics of personal defense. You will also be introduced to the critical skills for using the fixed or folding blade in self-defense. What’s the best knife for personal carry? What’s the difference between serrated and non-serrated edges? What features should you look for in a folding, fixed or knife? Your fixed, folding or curved blade is useless to you in a self-defense situation if you can’t access it, open it and be ready to fight for your life. In this course, you will be introduced to effective defensive and rapid deployment of both folding and fixed blades. Although not required you are welcome to bring a blue gun (any inert training pistol) with a matching holster if you wish to incorporate your gun handling skills into your training.
