Edged Weapons & Knife Attacks
March 23, 2023 @ 1:00 pm - 5:00 pm
People have been using edged weapons since the beginning of time. They are still around in one form or another. Ever since the terrible events of 9/11, where the hijackers used box cutters, there has been an increased awareness of edged weapons. As recently as 2017, a high-profile terrorist attack occurred at Flint Bishop Airport. The suspect used a 12” knife to severely injure a police officer.
This program addresses the psychological stress of an edged weapon confrontation and how to defend against it using the OODA Loop principle. Students will participate in scenario-based practical exercises. Most people have no idea how to defend against an attack with a sharp object. Most what you see on TV is just enough to get people hurt.
This training addresses two sides of the edged weapons story. First it deals with defending against an attack. The second part explains how to use an edged weapon, if necessary.
