This Knife Defense program is a system that is based on defending oneself when given a zero option for Tactical Escape. This course is designed to give people some of the component parts to help them survive an attack by an assailant armed with an edged weapon. This course is not designed for taking on an opponent who pulls a knife and assaults a person's ego with words or who calls you out to fight when weapons are involved. Nor is this course designed to train you to be an expert knife fighter. It is designed to help protect oneself against a spontaneous knife assault from which there is no option of escape.
