TACTICAL EDGED WEAPONS
A comprehensive edged weapons workshop designed specifically to impart strong fundamental skill sets to prepare them with the tactics, techniques and procedures for dealing with and surviving knife attacks, and the escalating emerging threat of edged weapons.
The scope of the tactical edged weapons workshop is designed to offer a realistic view of what to do and how to do it with a fixed blade knife in relation to violent confrontations with a hostile or attacker. One in which the attacker(s) or hostile have the means, ability and intent to do bodily harm and death.
The goal of this program is to empower you with knowledge and skills that not only allow you to enhance your survivability with and without a knife, but force you to look at the world a little differently and challenge you outside the normal spectrum of your protective thinking.
This ‘hands-on’ comprehensive workshop teaches the tactics, techniques and procedures (TTP’s) for successfully dealing with knife on knife conflict and empty hand to knife transitions to engage a hostile subject. Dr. Jeff Cantor, a recognized expert in edged weapons, leads the training cadre. With decades of experience, Cantor paints a portrait of highly effective TTP’s that elevate your skill level for prevailing in “man on man” knife and violent engagements.
