8 Hour Block

​

Edged Weapons Overview introduces the fundamental realities of knife fights (offense and defense) and consists of 8 training hours over a two-day period. Real-world criminal assaults are used to contextualize the presented material and provide the participant with practical skills to avoid, stabilize, and resolve an edge weapon-related incident. The program is simplistic and congruent, allowing anyone to retain and immediately use the technics. Each day ends with an evolution to validate the content of the day. The experience reinforces the newly acquired skillset and allows the participant to apply techniques without the consequence of a real-life incident.

​
