Thanks, Bill.

I'm not 100% sure I'll be there Friday but if not, I'll see you Saturday morning.

Edged Weapons 101 $50

The edged weapon is the most commonly carried and misunderstood tool
in the defensive community. This course is designed to dispel myths
and provide the student with a simple, concise and robust skill set to
allow the employment of a defensive knife under stress.

The skills taught will integrate directly with your defensive gun
skill. If you carry a gun, bring your carry gear and an inert/training
gun, if you have one. Core unarmed self defense skills will be taught
to allow you time to access and employ the knife.

Edged Weapons 101 is highly recommended for women and students, as
they are the group most likely to encounter grabs, chokes and other
physical attacks with the greatest disparity of force. Additionally,
it is an outstanding option for those who cannot or do not carry a
gun. $50

Topics covered include:

Safety in training & in application
The Role of the Edged Weapon
Equipment Selection
Carry Techniques & Grip
Deployment of the knife
Slashes & Thrusts
Escape from Grabs & Holds
