Edged Weapon Training

Students must complete either the Women’s Self Defense or the Family Self Defense Class prior to attending Edged Weapon Training. Using what was learned from the self-defense class as the foundation, we will take things to another level by incorporating a blade, giving you the utmost confidence in your ability to defend yourself.

This class is a focused overview of knife application methods. Lots of people carry or have access to pocket knives for various reasons, but very few people have any training on how to deploy them effectively for self-defense. This course gives students a fundamental understanding of edged weapons. This class is presented through a minimalist framework to give students practical tools they can easily learn, remember, and put to immediate use. Using what was learned from the self-defense class as the foundation, we will take things to another level by incorporating a blade, giving you the utmost confidence in your ability to defend yourself. Topics include the following:

Knowledge on the different types of blades

How to safely handle and pass a blade

Forward and Reverse grips

Strikes and targeting points

• Education on human anatomy as it pertains to attacks

How to conceal a blade

How to safely draw a blade from the conceal carried position

When to deploy your blade

Real world scenarios

To ensure you will be able to apply the information and skills learned, I will put you through a real-world pressurized training scenario, where you will have the opportunity to utilize all of the skills learned throughout our training session.

Students must be at least eighteen years of age. Please contact me concerning any exceptions to this policy.
