It is unfortunate that most knife defence taught today is unrealistic and choreographed, with little if any application to the real world where a knife in the hands of an untrained child, or an unfit but motivated elderly woman can slice you to ribbons in the blink of an eye.

If you can’t run away (First choice), and you have to stand your ground and defend yourself, then most knife disarm techniques taught in the training halls will get you killed.

While there is no training that can guarantee you won’t get seriously injured or killed, correct knife defence training can help to decrease this risk.

Contact ATSD to discuss how the correct training can prepare you for an assault by a knife wielding assailant.
