DEFENSIVE
KNIFE
This course presents students with skills they need to effectively
utilize a folding or fixed blade knife as a defensive tool to
repel a
lethal force attack. Contrary to most knife programs, this
class is designed to address the realistic situations students
are likely to face. The course introduces simple, effective
movements that re easy to learn, court defensible and work well
under stress. Topics covered include: knife selection, carry locations,
legal issues, rapid deployment techniques, responses to life
threatening physical assaults, knife techniques for handgun retention,
and dealing with multiple attackers. The course utilizes
a combination of live cutting drills and force-on-force scenarios
using training knives to ensure that students gain a high level
of proficiency. Join John Benner and Greg Ellifritz as
they teach this expanded two day version of the class recently
adopted by the Ohio Peace Officer's Training Academy as the first
defensive knife class to Ohio police officers.
