Inhoud van de course
Other than a gun, the knife is the most common weapon used in crime. Yet attacks are not just with knives, but with a wide variety of edged weapons: screw driver, syringe, broken bottle, a shard of glass, a shank in a custody environment, and anything else that can cut or stab. Knowing how to survive these gruesome tools is vital.

Right from the start you will see full-speed, full-contact, unpredictable criminal style knife attack demonstrations. Most participants with previous martial arts training will find that everything that they learned about knife defense will not work. However, you will be taken step-by-step through the Knife Avoidance drills that will immediately increase your survivability by 50%. You’ll then get a taste of the all important 21 feet / 7 meter Rule.

If you ever get into a real knife fight you will probably be injured after it is over. That is why you’ll learn Self Triage and First Aid when it comes to knife wounds.

Knife fights are scary events, and that is why Mental Preparation is extremely important in this course along with the physical techniques and conflict drills. You’ll also get a little insight into how police officers prepare for knife attacks and the criminal mind that carries knives.

From the ancient book The Art of War by General Sun Tzu we get the famous expression, “know your enemy.” For just over an hour that is exactly what you are going to learn – how to think like the enemy. After understanding the Weapon Deployment Cycle you will see first hand World Wide Edged Weapons Attack Methods: gang attacks, prison-style attacks, criminal attacks, Middle Eastern terrorist attacks, military attacks, and the way various martial arts systems learn how to use a knife offensively. However, by the end of the day you will learn how to defend against any knife system once you know the Jim Wagner Reality-Based Personal Protection Knife Survival. This part of the course is purely for INFORMATION ONLY.

Not only do you need to know how to defend against a knife, but you need to know how to use one yourself in self-defense situations. But, it does not necessarily mean you will have a knife. In a real situation you may be fighting for your life with a fork in a restaurant or aboard a passenger aircraft with a metal writing pen – the principles will be the same. To learn how to use a knife properly we start with the Edged Weapons Grips. You’ll know the good ones and to avoid the bad ones. It will only take minutes to literally master each one of them.

You’ll already have the perfect conflict stance after you have taken the Defensive Tactics course, but applying it to a knife situation is easy becoming the Knife Conflict Stance.

In the world of knife fighting there are only ten angles in which to stab a human being, and only ten angles to cut someone. We call them the Jim Wagner Primary Knife Strike Directions. You will remember the rest of your life after graduating, because they are that easy. Immediately following the ten angles on both your right and left sides you will then be mastering the Directions Combinations.

For the purpose of understanding stopping power when it comes to knife conflict you will receive a brief lecture on the Medical Implications of Knife Injuries.

You will get a chance at using Improvised Edged Weapons in a controlled training environment and a look at the ingenious ways that the bad guys hide them and use them on your before you even know what opened you up.

If there are only ten striking angles then that means that there are only ten primary Knife Blocks against an incoming blade. You will practice all ten of the blocks one at a time, and then you will advanced to blocking irregular realistic attacks. But, because real conflict always has exceptions you’ll learn a few Specialty Knife Blocks to help you survive those unique situations.

What happens if you are up against someone equal or better than you with a knife, like, God forbid, another Reality-Based Personal Protection student. In that case you need to know Fakes. You’ll learn how to fake high and go low, and to fake low and strike high.

To become even better at blocking an incoming knife, whether you are armed or unarmed, especially in low light or no light situations, you’ll get to perfect the Armed (Knife) Kinetic Sensation Response Drill.

Now that you know how to strike, block, and move it all comes together in four Knife Conflict Drills. The final drill, the Freestyle Drill, is as close as you will ever come to a real knife fight, minus real knives. It is the final goal of the course – no rules, just like real life. However, we still maintain the utmost in safety.

One day your attacker may attack you in a confined space, such as in your home, in an elevator, or up against your car. In these cases you must you the revolutionary four steps in the Jim Wagner Knife Disarm Rule. Something that you can master in mere minutes, this rule is used by many police and military units worldwide.

Probably one of the worse situations in the world is you on the ground with someone on top of you sticking you with a knife. You are going to take some of the earlier skills you learned in the course, combine it with the Jim Wagner Knife Disarm Rule, and learn to get out of the kill zone. This not so pleasant drill is called the Freestyle Ground Drill.

The final two techniques of the course deal with Hostage Situations at Knife Point. This is when someone has a knife on you and you have no idea if they are going to kill you or not. You’ll learn a few techniques on how to get away.
