Integrated Martial Arts Strategies

Course Focus

​

Knife assaults are a constant threat for law enforcement, security professionals, and civilians. They are unpredictable, brutally fast, and often deadly. This course provides realistic, pressure-tested self-defense strategies for surviving and countering knife attacks.

You will build a strong foundation of critical combat attributes before advancing into progressive drills and scenario-based pressure testing designed to replicate real-world encounters.

✔ Control & Disarms – Apply gross-motor clinch techniques to control the attacker and neutralize the weapon
✔ Tactical Framing & Index Points – Use structure and natural body mechanics to shield vitals and counter

 Who Should Take This Course?

​​

🔹 Law Enforcement & Security Professionals – Improve survival chances during edged weapon attacks on duty
🔹 Martial Artists & Instructors – Integrate real-world knife defense into traditional or sport-based training
🔹 Responsibly Armed Civilians – Learn to defend and survive with or without a weapon during a knife encounter

​

 Why This Approach Works

​​

Most knife defenses fail under stress because they rely on fine-motor skills or unrealistic assumptions. Our method prioritizes gross-motor control, natural body reactions, and pressure-tested techniques proven to work in dynamic, high-stress situations.

🔹 Train smart. Train real. Train for survival.
