In the UK, where gun laws are strict, much like Canada, knife crime on the street happens every eight minutes. A knife attack is vicious, unpredictable, and split second. Knife combat is a bloody gross-motor ambush that’s not only terrifying but fatal.
A knife-wielding attacker aims to immobilize their victim, not with a single stab but with multiple cuts, slashes, and punctures, and often in relentless combinations. The more numerous the dissection, the more blood loss. The more blood loss – the closer you come to death. Knife defense has never been more vital. The world and people have changed, and the rules have also changed.
My knife defense instruction has never been more influential and empowering, as I deliver it in rare form. I’ve created a dynamic seminar that I deliver to groups across the globe for men and women as young as 14, from civilians, to law enforcement. Although the participants are always diverse and unique, they share one common goal – learning to survive an edged weapon attack with myself.

My acclaimed knife defense seminar is tenacious, and what’s more – it’s live. What this means is that I put you to work on fighting for your life in a brutal, cold-blooded attack – face to face! It’s tangible and, for the most part – close quarters. I physically lead you through knife defense technics, concepts, strategies. My drills are the most substantial and useful in developing the necessary skills to survive and heighten your chances of survival.
I teach bold strategies that will make you wiser to the knife and, ideally, more fierce. I’m not lenient regarding life-saving instruction, but I am fair. Fair in that I am honest about the chances of knife survival with only the most appropriate training. I push my students, yet, they feel guided. I aim to focus on their mindset and physical abilities while creating a cohesive team-building and learning experience.

I create drills and scenarios that are true to life, making what we practice relevant and meaningful. If it makes sense only then can your self-defense system triumph in a real-world scheme. Moreover, there may be one or multiple attackers, so the scenarios are constant, and the training only authentic and real-world.
And although nothing could ever duplicate the rush in your veins, if it happens – you’ll get to experience the intensity of real-world training. Additionally, if you put your head and heart into the game – you could learn to escape alive.
My hard-core training is ambitious and challenging because a knife or edged weapon attack is merciless. Anyone with a knife has the potential to be catastrophic. A person’s primary motive of intimidation and robbery could lead to the most barbaric stabbing in a flash. In a blink of the eye a knife-wielder is dead set on using their edged weapon to puncture through your skin, bone, and tendon to inflict the most excruciating outcome.

The pinnacle of a knife fight occurs when it becomes visceral and graphic – entirely ruled on emotion. What’s more, defending yourself may trigger the criminal’s survival instinct, propelling him into a greater frenzy. Therefore, your knife defense must be compelling and urgent – to strike while alive and able. My seminars are designed to help you understand the nature of edged-weapon assaults and is a critical aspect of your tactical edge live instruction.
Exposing the knife to students can create rather savage picture. But, the motive is to empower and educate you through my self-defense seminars and individual training, not to induce fear. Knowledge is always power. Teaching avoidance is always the first method of any self-defense and Krav Maga – so situational awareness trumps in your instruction.
The cold, steely knife is terrifying, and although fear is compelling and influential to your survival – it can be fatal if it evolves into a state of panic. My responsibility to you is to create a healthy level of preparation for anything. As the creator of the #1 knife defense training seminar in the industry, it’s an obligation both professionally and personally I am loyal to.

The direct time I spend with you focuses on introducing how critical mindset is to your safety, not just to evade the treacherous knife – but how to be a hard target daily. It’s quite fundamental in that you feel different, more confident, energetic, and physically fit, and just like that, you’ll present yourself differently to the world.
It’s critical to be aware that even the safest places don’t secure your protection. Poverty, homelessness, mental illness, and addiction have led to formidable knife violence, and it’s no longer concealed. The safest places don’t secure your protection, as knife violence lurks everywhere.

Through tactical edge instruction with me, you’ll understand the potential of this seemingly inoffensive weapon – raising the bar in the quality of your self-defense training.
Pressure testing and non-choreographed movements are indicative of my knife-defense instruction, along with forging a solid foundation of concepts, strategies and skills to isolate the weapon. My seminars also practice empty-handed skills, evade and escape and how to use improvised weapons.
Knives, like guns, are killing weapons. What’s alarming is that anyone can get their hands on one. Although strict gun laws impede firearm-related homicides – killers have turned to knives as their weapon of choice. Not only because they are accessible – reachable – but they are also simple to conceal. Knives are easy to access – it’s why they’ve become so dominant and widespread.
Countries with rigid gun laws have become a haven for deadly-edged weapons, and the headlines are gruesome. What’s worse, children and young people have become targets and aggressors, and the media declares it a knife crime epidemic.
