Modern Knife Defence TrainingEvery year in Melbourne that are literally hundreds of knife attacks reported to the police. Melbourne's growing knife culture is particularly strong among teenage boys and young men. Many carry knifes for their own protection under the illusion that this will help keep them safe. The truth is is only makes things worse.
This has been a reason for many to start Ju jitsu training with our school, because we take knife defence training seriously. It's actually the reason why I started training in Jiu jitsu after being threatened with a knife when I was 20 years old. Some of the subjects covered at the seminars include Protecting your neck, Slashes and Stab defences, Evasive footwork for escaping and Grab and Stab defences where an opponent grabs your shirt for instance and then tries to stab you with a knife. The YouTube clip above shows just a few basic techniques done slowly that we put together in a few minutes as a quick rough overview, the curriculum is broader with more depth. Knife defence training is practiced as a natural extension of our Jiu Jitsu skill set. |
