The Knife Training Methods and Techniques for Martial Artists series gives the martial arts interested person a solid background on the importance of the knife as a combat weapon, inspires the reader about the benefits of knife training, and provides detailed step-by-step instruction in how to manipulate and defend against a knife with speed, proficiency, and confidence. Almost any martial art, traditional or modern, can be adapted to knife offense and defense without changing the basic principles of the art.
Since the knife is a relatively small and lightweight weapon, many of the same moves and movement patterns you use in your empty-hand art are easily transferable to your knife techniques, and vice versa. The practical lessons you learn by adding knife training to your arsenal include quick reaction skills, physical and mental control, footwork and evasion tactics, distance control, and target precision.
Knife training gives you a decided physical and mental edge and opens new dimensions that will deepen your understanding of the martial arts. Knife Defense Dynamics, the seventh book in the series, covers dynamic knife defense concepts including seizing the initiative, forcing the adversary to retreat, and taking his balance. It covers different ways to defend against and neutralize the threat in stand-up and ground scenarios.
It also includes a discussion about the knife as a weapon of coercion. The full series comprises the following books:1. Knife Anatomy2. Knife Carry and Deployment3. Knife Grip and Manipulation4.
