Edged weapons are highly accessible, easily concealable and are a growing threat on today’s streets. Reality based self defense training cannot be complete without a basic understanding of how to defend yourself and your loved ones if faced with this potentially deadly threat. This clinic will focus on basic combatives, instinctive defenses, and defending against dynamic attacks from any angle (over hand, under hand and straight thrust stabs and slashes). The course is designed to provide the student with the knowledge, skills, and mindset to begin rudimentary hand-to-hand combatives and self-defense training against an attacker armed with a knife or similar edged weapon. Age Requirement: Must be 18 years of age or older. NOTE: STUDENTS SHOULD BE OF GOOD HEALTH AND PREPARED FOR MODERATE PHYSICAL ACTIVITY. There are a limited number of participants accepted for this clinic, so please pre-register early in order to ensure placement
