Description
As a student of knife fighting for more than 16 years who has trained with Special Forces vets, police, and street fighters, Michael Janich found that there was no one book that provided practical instruction that would allow a novice knife fighter to develop the skills required for today's combative streets. Some offered bits of useful information and a history of the art but failed to provide comprehensive instruction. Others demonstrated numerous individual techniques but never explained the concepts behind them. Still others did nothing more than criticize the teachings of other authors.
Janich's objective in writing this book is to fill in the gaps, providing the average martial artist, soldier, or self defense-minded citizen with pragmatic skills in the fundamentals of fighting with a knife. And who knows, maybe just being armed with this knowledge will be enough to prevent you from needing to use it. After all, criminals and gang members are looking for victims, not challenges they usually will discontinue an assault if confronted by a confident, determined opponent armed with a sharp knife and the knowledge to use it effectively. After reading this book, you should have both.
Michael D. Janich is one of the foremost modern authorities on handgun point shooting and one of the few contemporary instructors to have personally trained with the late close-combat legend Col. Rex Applegate. In addition to making his own martial arts equipment, noted martial arts author and instructor Michael Janich has designed and engineered everything from blowguns to knives, including the highly acclaimed Masters of Defense Tempest folding knife.
