Fundamental Knife Techniques: Two Classes this Week

11.29.11 By Patrick Leave a Comment

Nobody wins in a knife fight
As a lead-up to the Basic Knife Defense Seminar this Saturday, we will be doing a knife techniques class at the following times this week:

  • Wednesday, Nov. 30, 7:30pm
  • Saturday, Dec. 3, 8:30am

The classes will cover basic knife concepts from the Filipino martial arts system Modern Arnis Jujitsu as applied to our Krav Maga principals.

It is not necessary that you attend these classes before the seminar, but doing so will give you a very different perspective! I promise you’ll be much more cognizant of how good your defenses must be.

***Please note that these classes are intended for educational purposes only and are meant to familiarize you with the dynamic and unpredictable nature of knives. Read the use of force post and the Pocket Knife FYI.

Check out this video of one helluva frenzied knife attack simulation. Warning: While only simulated, this video is very disturbing. It is NSFW and definitely not appropriate for children.
