In this program of instruction, you will be trained in how to defend against an edged weapon attack if you carry a firearm (armed) and if you can’t or don’t carry or have access to a firearm (unarmed), how to use an edged weapon against a violent physical threat and how to defend yourself, and those with you, against a blade attack even if you have nothing in your hands.
Unarmed: Learn 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 aren’t trained to rapidly deploy it and fight for your life. In this course, you will be introduced to effective defensive and rapid deployment of both folding and fixed blades.
Armed: The very same training used by DoD, law enforcement and protection professionals required to successfully managing multiple assailants, this program answers the questions: What can I do to defend against an assailant who is attacking me with an edged weapon, and I CAN’T get to my firearm in time? What can I do in those precious few seconds when I’m reacting to a surprise attack, while trying to get to my gun? What if I’m taken off guard and with nothing in my hands – how can I defend myself and/ or my partner from a life-threatening edged weapon assault? What are the requisite skills needed to make combat effective round placement in the shortest amount of time and at extreme close quarters?
Course includes: Defense against the seven lethal target areas of your body, managing the fateful injury/ distance liability gap, risk metrics, blade mechanics, wound analysis & effects, armed and unarmed defense against an edged weapon attack at extreme close quarters, mastering force vectors, gun handling skills (“indexing”, “programming,” etc.), engaging multiple assailants and a rare training block on exotic edged weapons to include familiarization with the infamous “karambit” and other curved blades. There is no prerequisite for this course.
