It is no secret that convicts train to fight police while in jail and edged weapons have become the fastest growing threat to law enforcement. The possibility of facing a sudden attack by a terrorist armed with an edged weapon has been a serious concern in Israel for many years. As a result, specific training methods were developed to teach police and military personnel how to combat this threat.
Unlike most traditional Martial Arts which offer “knife fighting” training in
unrealistic attack settings, our program provides reality based, effective survival techniques proven in decades of conflict in the Middle East by elite units of the Israeli Defense Forces. Upon completion of this course, participants will have a clear understanding of knife combat and the necessary skill, if followed by
practice, to quickly and safely defeat an assailant armed with an edged weapon.
