When you encounter an aggressive person you really don’t know their ability, intent or even their skill level. None of this comes out until the attack happens.If you are not ready then you will be caught short and bad things will happen to you.
Now, add an edged weapon into the mix. An edged weapon is meant to be felt, never seen. An edged weapon, unlike a firearm cannot misfire, it can change angles as fast as the operator wants it to and the operator does not have to be skilled.
In this course I covered topics such as: Types of edged weapons, situation awareness and avoidance, Distance and mobility, counter attack, defending grounded attacks, and much more!
