Finish It With A Knife - Paperback

by Craig Sira (Author)

In Combative Martial Arts (CMA) weapons are divided into four categories: blunt, edged/pointed, flexible and projectile. The purpose of this training manual is to provide you with information on how to finish off an attacker when you are armed with a knife. Every self-defense practitioner must be familiar with streetwise weapons. While traditional weapons such as the sword or nunchakus may be interesting, it is highly unlikely that you will actually use them in an attack. The weapons of modern society include sticks, knives, chains and guns. These are the weapons that today's martial artist must become proficient in. This book will apply the unarmed topics from the book 'Finish It' to knife. Once understood these concepts can be applied to any pointed weapon. This training manual is full of drills that will take your knife fighting skills to the next level.
