Edged Weapons Countermeasures
Extended

Course Focus

​

Edged weapon attacks remain one of the most lethal threats in close-quarters combat, especially in dynamic and unpredictable environments. This extended-level course is a progression of our foundational edged weapons module, offering advanced tactics, refined responses, and high-stress scenario training for professionals who need to perform under pressure.

This training goes beyond theory—students will engage in force-on-force applications, live drills, and pressure testing that reflect the realities of knife violence, including ambushes, slashes, stabs, and multi-angle attacks.
