Only eight days to go! Over the course of the last eight weeks, we had a good number of students go through Core Skills Courses. All of them did well and we now have a well-prepared group lined up for the seminar, that know how to use the master-technique on the five angles of attack. They also have...

Here is some footage from the introduction/skill refresher course last weekend. The seminar will be in the same gym - plenty of room, even for a large group.

Mike, thank you very much for your kind words. I'm only as good as the instructor who trained me ;) . I'm looking forward to learning new applications and most of all, getting hands-on time with the tactical pen, flashlight and improvised impact weapons. I've been working with the DVD material, but ...

The first intro/preparation course for the seminar was last weekend. 14 Students spent an afternoon working the core MBC techniques, getting their heads wrapped around the different angles of attack and how to deal with them efficiently. Everyone worked really hard, however one student thoroughly im...

Mike, A big thank you for coming out to Orange County to teach this seminar. Training with you directly to learn more advanced material was top of the list of requests at the end of local classes. I'm glad that we can make this happen. I'm looking particularly forward to the segment on tactical pens...

Delica - Great Family Knife!
I've been logging a Delica around for the last five plus years - it's my workhose, the blade that I use most often. As far as defensive purposes go, it is a backup to my trusty Yojimbo 2. For day-to-day stuff such as cutting open boxes, stripping wires, cutting fruits, I use the Delica... in most ca...

MBC Course - Orange, CA 01-19-2013
Yesterday, I taught the MBC basics to my largest class yet - 17 students had gathered at Allsafe Defense in Orange for an intense one-day introduction to Martial Blade Concepts. We started out with a brief explanation of the bio-mechanical disconnect and reviewed anatomical charts to find target are...

I am an Eagle Scout and active adult Scout Leader. I really like the way Boy Scouts incorporates the use of tools into its outdoor and life skills education program. They focus not only on knives, but the responsible use, care, and maintenance of other edged tools (e.g., hatchets, axes, saws), kitc...

Yojimbo 2.... got it and it was well worth the wait!!!!
OK - the supply caught back up with demand a couple of weeks back. However, friends of mine have an online store that stocks spyderco and when we met up today, they got the Yojimbo 2 into my busy hands. A lot has already been said on this forum about this knife. All I can say is that this is THE bes...
