Knife fighting classes in san antonio?

[Jon Payne]

I might be wrong on the time frame, but a cop with a holstered weapon is vulnerable to a knife attack, within a short distance of an attacker I wanna say 15 to 20 feet. Not to say the attacker won't get shot, but the police officer is at risk as well.

Yeah, your time frame is way off. With the pistol holstered or even with it drawn if someone is intent on stabbing you it's a bad place to be.

In that scenario I believe both people are betting with their lives.

How've you been Jon?

Been doing great my friend.

I agree my neighbor is a DPS officer and he says the same thing you can't clear leather in that 10 to15 feet before your assailant is on you , their instructor demonstrates that as part of the training , in reality your response time to their attack is longer than you think your brain had to recognize the threat and then tell your body to respond .In that time span your attacker has closed in with you and is now within arms reach , you will still be reaching for your pistol and he will be pushing his blade between your ribs..Just my opinion

You need a minimum of 21 feet between you and someone armed with a knife, and intent on doing you harm. As long as you're moving laterally while you’re shooting. If standing stationary it’s much further.

Time was, you could get a free quick immersion course at The Esquire Lounge....but that's all over now

OK, maybe less than 21 feet if they trip over a log. I love that show.

No such thing as a "knife fight" really but rather a "knife attack". Also, there is no special or "secret" knife skills anyone can or will teach you. If anyone claims that they are liars.

If you have the ability to take kali or escrima then presto, you're a "knife fighter". Better yet, if you're efficient with stick arts then you're better off with that then a blade.

One of the best pieces of instruction is to know where your edge is! A lot of injuries when knives are involved are self induced.

I want to take some knife fighting classes

Try to find someone in S.A. affiliated with The Dog Brothers.

I was a Martial Arts Instructor and MMA Coach for 19 years. I've gone through virtually every realistic knife training, and chop-sockey B.S. knife training that exists. Dog Brothers' system is the best.

Seminars are really useful only for shopping a potential instructor, not for skill acqutition. You won't retain what you see in a seminar without weekly practice over the course of a year. For that, you need a good local school.

Google Varg Freeborn - Primary and secondary OR practically tactical before thinking about taking some knife fighting classes.
