Edged Weapons core skills progression | Core edged weapon concepts dealing with the dynamics of edged weapon confrontations.
Most edged weapons confrontations do not start in a blade on blade context yet blade on blade skills
are a good base line for understanding edged weapons and their attributes. This workshop lays the foundation
for other aspects of edged weapon concepts such as empty hand vs knife and weapon access while under attack.

Machete (Panga) | The machete is the heavy weight of the blade world. Unlike other larger blades such as Bowie-type blades that allow dexterous movements such as back cuts and precision thrusts the machete is “shot gun” of the blade world requiring its own balance of speed and power.

Handgun disarms and vehicle holdups | Fire-arm disarms require various elements to be in place in order to be achievable. It is important to note that the vast majority of fatal shootings in take place within arm’s reach often with loose contact. For this reason we believe that firearm disarms should be part of every toolkit. Course members will learn the key mechanics of disarms to disarm a threat to their person or to disarm a person that may be pointing a firearm at someone else and then bring these skills into the context of vehicle holdups and car-jackings. |
