Edged Weapon Class

Saturday H2h:
This course is a compilation of materials I’ve offered in my women’s self defense courses, WW2 unarmed combative’s seminars and while the defensive edged weapons instructor for the S+W Academy.

Skills that will create time and distance to allow you to access your own weapon or get away

How to break away from being grabbed by the arm with one hand
How to break away from being grabbed by the arm with both hands
How to break away and escape from being choked from the front
How to break away and escape from being choked from behind
The use of the Chin Jab, Y-Hand, Axe-Hand to effect releases
Techniques using a pen or kubaton type implement to strike to the face, hands, wrists and ribs to affect an immediate release by the attacker.

Several open hand palm strikes and slapping skills that devastate the opponent and allow escapes depending on where you strike. You may not even need to go to guns with these. Quick to learn, easy to perform under duress, these skills were taught to covert agents behind enemy lines in Germany in the 40’s with great success in the real world of combatives.

Sunday Defensive Edged Weapon:
Surviving the first second of a knife attack while unarmed. Learn just 6 skills that cover the full range of how a knife will be used against you and how to survive the initial attack using a collapsing startle response and protecting the bodies core from the blade.

Learn how to get away from being a hostage with a knife to your neck from the front and from behind. These are very easy to learn, so simple most people would not think of them. The police officers just couldn’t believe how easy these were to keep from being taken hostage.

Defending with the folder or short straight blade against an attacker. Learn how to utilize that folding knife or short straight blade from the kitchen drawer to minimize or negate damage from an aggressor’s knife. We’ll cover knife carry positions; accessing the folder from various carry positions; the three grip positions commonly used with a knife and their respective strengths and weaknesses, as well as how to use the “Wall of Edge” to defend yourself against someone with a knife. The wall of edge was one of the first skills I learned from my mentors and it’s still one of the best at defending yourself from a knife attack.

Gun disarms

This course offers men and women the opportunity to learn fast, simple, effective skills that are distilled down to the best of the best and taken from several disciplines and courses.

The course doesn’t require any previous training or experience in self defense, does not require you to be physically fit nor lead an active lifestyle to be able to effect a positive resolution if you are physically assaulted. All that is required of the student is to wear your daily street clothes, sneakers and be willing to learn skills that can save your life or that of someone with you.

Each student will be given a “Stick of Death” for the class for training and be able to take that home with them at the end of the seminar.

Training blades will be supplied or you can bring your own. This is the one day defensive edged weapons class I held for S+W’s Training Division for several years. If you carry a clipped folder on your pocket, this class is for you. Learn how to utilize that folder to defend yourself should you be in a non permissive environment that doesn’t allow you carrying a firearm for some reason.

Home Defense

January 21st, 2010 SwampRat No comments

If you are like most concerned citizens in America today, you probably have a firearm in the house somewhere that you consider your “Home Defense” firearm.  But…..

Possession of a firearm is only one aspect of a total home security plan.  The necessity of establishing a secured perimeter as a first line of defense of one’s residence is paramount, because it will discourage criminal invasion or will provide the home owner with early warning in the event of an intrusion.

Security measures may include adequate door and window locks; perimeter fences; window grates; ornamental, barred, heavy gauge steel “screen” doors; landscaping that minimizes the ability for a criminal to operate or hide unobserved; outdoor lighting on motion detectors; a family pet that serves in a watchdog role; and possibly an alarmed security system.  Getting to know your neighbors and establishing a formal or informal “neighborhood watch” is advisable.

Interior security involves designation of one remote room in the home as the “safe” room.  This room, usually the master bedroom, serves as the location to which individual family members may congregate in relative safety should a criminal forcibly obtain entry to the residence while it is occupied.

The safe room will be fitted with a sturdy, solid core, lockable door, with dead bolt latches on the upper and lower third.  Equipment routinely stored in the safe room will include a flashlight, a cellular phone by which to contact police should phone wires be cut, and a secured firearm with ample ammunition.  All members of the household should be familiar with the home defense plan.
