Knife is one of the most dangerous of weapons due to the necessity of stifling proximity necessitated by the relative shortness of the blade.
This introductory workshop will stress proper cutting technique with both forward and reverse grip and proper defense techniques with and without a knife.
The techniques will be culled from a wide variety of sources – Defendu (which is based on the Fairbairn and Sykes system), instructors like Sifu Alan Baker and Tu Lam, techniques taken from Arnis, Penkat Silat, Russian SAMBO, and the instructor’s own military experience.
The workshop will stress situational awareness, safe training practices, and techniques that have been tested in real-world situations.
The instructor, F. Braun McAsh has been studying bladed weapons of all types for 57 years and has taught combat knife for 40.
